If you're on J1 visa and get a Green Card, can you change specialities beyod PGY2 ?

Thanks.
1. I believe you can switch specialties on an H, although remember that H is limited to 6 years.

2. Getting a green card while on a J is not possible, AFAIK. Even if you marry a US citizen, you still must return to your home country for 2 years or pursue a J waiver.
