What are the options after 6 years of H1B visa (physician)

Registered Users (C)
My friend is a physician who has come into the country for studying (MPH) and is right now doing fellowship in H1B visa. His 6 years of H1B is getting completed next year(May 2009). He has applied for labor certification but it is not approved yet because of the central approving process which causes a lot of delay. Since it is almost 6 years and that this process will take a long time, his lawyer is advising him to leave the country and come back. Can he apply for NIW through a new job and bypass that route or is there anything he can do to avoid laving the country.
Thanks in advance
