J1 Waiver and Green card after marriage

[AhJ1]

I'm planning to go for J1 waiver and at the same time would apply for GC becuase I'm US Citizen's spouse. My questions are

1) Should I go for J1 waiver through a HPSA/MUA or through NIW. What
is the difference between the two? Which path is good for my case?

2) Can I apply GC right now ,since I got married recntly to a US Citizen or do
I have to wait until I finished 3 years of J1-Waiver?

3) What is the National Average salary for a Hospitalist?

Thanks in advance.

You are require to be on H1 for 3 years of you waiver before you apply for green card, otherwise the waiver can be cancelled. I think that is the rule

The two have nothing to do with each other. NIW is a way to obtain an approved immigrant petition (which you won't need through your 'immediate relative' situation).
The J1 waiver is what makes you eligible to file for a green-card.

You need a 'waiver job' for 3 years. You can have your wife file form I130 for you once you start the waiver. At 3 years 1 day you can file form I485 (adjustment of status to permanent resident).

You have to wait. You can file the immigrant petition earlier, but you can't file for an immigrant visa (consular processing) or adjustment of status (if you want to remain in the US) only after you have completed the 3years on your waiver job.

Dunno what the average is, the numbers I tend to hear are in the high 100s.
