I will be starting a 4 year residency on H 1 in july 2006.
When i go for a job , i will have only 2 years remaining on H 1 .

Will this be enuf for me to start my GC and stay here without having to go back to my country?

Also my husband will have a job on his H 1 this year. IF his GC happens before mine( it shud), then can i get a GC as his spouse?

please clarify.
 
The problem for physicians to get a GC during residency is that you must fulfill the requirements on the day that your labor certification is filed. So, if you want ot get a green-card as 'internist' you can only file after you finished residency (a workaround for that is to file as 'physician general practice' which can be done after 2 years of residency).
 
can EAD from EB1 can be used to complete residency

I am planning to file I-140 under EB1 category. If everything will go alright, and I get EAD, can I use it to complete my fellowship in internal medicine speciality. I am currently in final year of residency on H1B. What I learnt from this forum by g oing thru posts that EAD can not be used to do residency/fellowship. But I am filing my petition for EB1 indicating that I am involved in health sciences clinical research and would like to intend to continue doing it during my fellwship.Please answer.

It can be used for ANY job, including working at the 7-11 or fellowship (EAD employment is not limited to a sponsored job or a particular job category).
