@drkhadi & @vinniev
You've got it right. I wish to start with H1 visa because if I start with J1 visa then I will have to go back for 2 years.
GC would take a couple of years to come through but the residency gets over in 4 years. I believe fellowship on GC will be an option only after the formalities are completed. The time span between GC application & finalization is a lot - during that period fellowship will not be available.
A friend of mine has had to go back to Canada for 2 years after finishing her residency because her GC is still pending.
@rajji you are right, one can start working while the GC application is pending but I want to do my fellowship soon after residency - without a gap (God willing)!
