There is a specific message board for physicians, so it would be better if you posted your waiver question there, as most here (I think) are not physicians.

As for the NIW, I understand there are some pitfalls for medical doctors. I will admit that I am not up to date on these things. I should think at least a consultancy with an immigration attorney specilaizing in physicians would be worth the money.
