I'd like to apologize ahead of time for not being able to place my post in a proper category. My windows Vista OS doesn't allow me to read Korean of scroll-down choices provided. I have chosen the first choices as default. As you can see, it also does not allow me to type in Korean either.

I am a 4th year veterinary medicine student in Oklahoma and I will be graduating next year in February. I am planning to take my NAVLE exam, which is sort of a national qualification test to become a licensed veterinarian in US, some time in November, in which time I will be required to choose a state where I wish to practice. I have become to consider CA, CO, and TX as my top 3 choices due to their relative proximity to Korea (compared to some other eastern states) and a certain professional networking I have accomplished over the years. I will be continuing to pursue internship following my graduation, which hopefully will be continued to residency.

It is my understanding that during internship and residency years, I will be able to obtain H1-B visa. I have stumbled upon such information while browsing on several university websites regarding to their internship/residency programs. A few schools have indicated that H1-B visa will be given to an intern/resident as long as a certain amount of fee is paid to the school's administrative/immigration office.

My questions are: what do I need to do to obtain a green card from there? How long will it take to get a green card once I have H-1B visa? What kind of processes will I need to remember in order to do so?

I have always prepared for my visas ever since I first came to the states as a college student 6 years ago, looking up for information on the web. These questions, however, seem to be difficult ones to get answers to. I'd greatly appreciate your response.

Why don't you search on the Intrnet with 'employment based green card application process?' You may obtain H-1B even before you are experienced if you have a license. As to the green card, your employer may look for an employee experienced for 2-3 years.
