I hope to start a physician job in July 2011 on H1B (Currently PGY#3).

If it gets capped for 2011 and I file for fiscal year 2012 starting October 2011) can I work between July-October 2011 during the transition period?

Is there a transition visa that I can work on or do I have to return to home country.

Will it affect my application for green card if I go back to home country?

Can I work on J2 then? (My husband is on J1 in a fellowship program) or should I just return to my home country?

Thank you
 
You can only work on an H-1B as a physician if you have a waiver of the two year rule.
You can aply for an O visa which will allow you to work for up to 10 years but you will need to renew it i think every two years.
Yes you can switch to J-2 on your husbands J-1 but if he goes in to lets say a conrad 30 postion = h-1 and your orginal j-1 has not been waived.
you must go to h-4 which means that you will not be able to work.
Its a real puzzle
