Is there any waiting period to stay in the U.S. on an H-1B visa before an application for permanent residence can be filed on my behalf?
No. TIP: See Question 17 above. 21. Can a U.S. employer file for permanent residence while I am outside the U.S. Answer: Yes. You do not need to be in the U.S. for an employer to file for a green card on your behalf. You can enter the U.S. with green card and start working. This is normally the case for Registered Nurses.
