HI,
My company is processing my Green card and recently applied my I-140. My wife is applying for residency this year. Most of hospitals are saying that they can sponsor only a J-1 visa. Can you please suggest if this would be a problem for my Green Card processing and/or her visa stamping (Since applying for G.C means that we wants to stay and J-1 means the other way round)?

Thanks,

-Raj.

If she gets J1 visa, then she would have to stay outside of US for 2 years at the end of J1 visa before she can get her greencard (even if you become citizen and apply for her). Another option would be that she would have to work in medically underserved region for 2-3 years to obtain J1- waiver, before she can apply for greencard.

None of this should affect YOUR greencard approval.
