h1/j1?

[IMGdoc]

Hi

My husband is planning to apply for permanent residency from his H1. He suggested that he would try to file his EB1 petition in Nov/Dec so that hopefully by May we would have the petition approval. My question is whether it is a good idea to do that or should I wait to see where and in which visa I get the residency. Could the visaexpert /anatolyk / forum members who have perhaps faced a similar situation advice me on what to do?

Also does getting a J1 visa, and its subsequent waiver obligate me to serve in underserved areas before I can apply for a fellowship?


Thanks a lot!
