hi
Try getting waiver through state 20 conrad program they r planning to increase the number from 20 to 40 soon if u r Internist try going to VA
 
thanks and ...

Thanks for the reply. I completed my fellowship a few months ago. According to my attorney, we have a H1 petition pending. So, until INS either approves or denies my H1, I will have a valid \'status\'.

Will I be able to apply through conrad 20 program. Most of the states accepts applications only after july.

Is there anything else I can do to keep my status valid until I get a state-20 job/approval?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
If ur petition for H was applied before u completed ur fellowship u r considered in status as 1-94 has D/S stamped ie duration of status in it.
It is not true that state 20 starts accepting application in july there fiscal year starts from oct 1 so find out fron state department of health of ur state if the area where u got a job is qualified as MUA/HPSA if yes act fast and get all the required documents from them they are very nice people and are very helpful so please donot lose time and do ur little home work
which state did u get ur waiver and what felloowship did u complete
can send me a private email at my address i will be more than happy to help u
but act quickly
all the best
