You mentioned in your previous posts --
"The employer can only file a labor certification or an I140 for you if you fulfill the criteria for the job.
So
- if they want to sponsor you during residency, they have to sponsor you as 'physician general practice' with job requirement 'state medical license'.
- if they want to sponsor you after residency during fellowship, they have to sponsor you as 'physician internist' with job requirement 'state medical license and board eligibility in internal medicine'.
- if they sponsor you after fellowship, they can sponsor you as 'physician specialist cardiology' with job requirement 'board certified in internal medicine, state medical license and 2 years of cardiology specialty training'.
While going up this ladder, it is getting easier and easier to get a labor cert approved. For option 1, there is allways some licensed physician who can't find employment because he has a terrible malpractice record who could potentially apply for your job during PERM. Once you are a specialist, there is typically nobody to apply for your job."

My qtn is
If I am complete 2 years of residency in State'A' and an employer in state 'B wants to hire me as ' physician general practice ' title do I still have to have State's 'B' permanenet licence which may or may not be available until i complete 2 years of residency ?
Also if i choose to file as 'Internist' do I have to wait till 3 years of residency completion or I can do that as soon as I am eligible for a Permanent licence in that particular state as half of the states have less than 3 years of residency requirement to apply for permenant licence? Arent you eligible for 'board eligibility' before third year of residency?
