Does anyone know if Connecticut allows physicians to continue NIW process by providing letter of support, if the physician has done a J1 waiver 3 year job in a different state. in other words does CT dept of health offers letter of support for remaining two years ( of NIW) if J1 waiver was not done in CT. Is HPSA/MUA either one acceptable. Hospitalist vs out patient job any guidelines there.

Call and ask
The person in charge of issuing support letters for NIW cases is a Dr Wilson at the department of public health. Her clerical support person (your point of contact) is (was): Marijane Mitchell <marijane.mitchell@po.state.ct.us> Phone (860)509-7668
Stephen Carragher is in charge of the J1 waivers. In case the staff in the public health division (dr wilson) has changed, mr carragher could probably point you to the right person.

hi,
I am a pediatrician whose perm just got approved. Still waiting for the hard copy. To apply for 485 before retrogression, I also prepared for self filing NIW I 140 ( for the same job, since this is a MUP area as well. ) Now, I never been on J1. I am planning to apply though NIW eb2 for physicians before sep 30. Now, once I get the hard copy labor cert, I am also planning to apply for I 140 with approved LC. Is there any way I can interfile the 485 with labour I 140? Because then I do not need to stick on with HPSA areas and can use portability act and leave the current employer ( he makes me to be on call every single day). Will the INS get confused and reject the 485? Also, If I move to a different HPSA area, do I need to amend a new I 140 and does the 5 yr clock starts from the second I 140 or after the first I 140 approval?
many thanks
Jay

I do not think it can be done. If your labor cert I 140 is approved, and your green card number comes up via the NIW I 485 then you can use the I 140 from labor cert and adjust status via the NIW 485. But you cant just file labor cert I 140 and NIW related I 485.
Because then I do not need to stick on with HPSA areas and can use portability act and leave the current employer ( he makes me to be on call every single day). Will the INS get confused and reject the 485? Also, If I move to a different HPSA area, do I need to amend a new I 140 and
A new I 140 has to be filed if you move to a different HPSA area. By the way you can open your own clinic too in HPSA/MUA/p area. Just make sure you check with your state dept. of health that for giving you a letter of support for NIW will they require you to work in HPSA/ MUa/p. If you move to a different state, then make sure that that state health dept. will issue a letter of support to you for NIW.

From what I understand the 5 year clock should start ticking from the approval of the first I 140.
Another thing, post this as a new thread so more people can read it, and you get more responses.
