No Title Good luck, maybe you will have your GC next year in July and be able to start residency with it.

No Title I did my residency on H-1B visa. I think you are eligible to apply for this visa is you have passed steps 1,2, and 3. But I heard that lately some programs do not want to sponsor people on H-1B visa. It depends, you would have to see when you go for the interviews if they would sponsor...

No Title It may be more difficult to find hospital that will sponsor you for an H-1B for residency, you should find out beforehand.

No Title The only problem you may run into is that your H-1B visa may be up to 6 years limit before you are finished with your training and you may not have enough time to file for GC. Also, not every hospital will sponsor you on H-1B nowadays.

No Title OK, now I am getting better picture. I did not know what I-797 and OF-230 means. I-797 is what I get from INS and OF-230 is a form that I can get on the internet and send it to Prague together with the approved notice (I-797), right?

No Title Yes, I do follow the I-140 discussion group and it looks like things are moving at VSC right now. I hope they will keep moving... I am able to talk to my lawyer and so far I think I kept things under my control (I have been on this road for a while - J1, H1, O1, national interest...

No Title Thank you for your encouraging news. How long it takes to obtain the approval notice? Since I am doing it with the lawyer, I think he will be the one who gets it. Should I ask him to mail it to Prague?

No Title Hi Helmut, it looks that the consulate in Prague works quite well. I hope it will be the same experience for me. How soon after I-140 did you get your first interview date? By the way I followed the same path to GC as you did, but it is taking me a lot longer.
