Thank you for your reply. I'll attach my DS-2019 with this post. Under DS 2019, it says my Exchange Visitor category is - Research Scholar. If you can look at it and please comment on it, it will be deeply appreciated. I don't have a license to practice medicine in the U.S and my offer letter for J1 says I am a "Research Scholar"
We have 3 stages for getting the No objection waiver as Indian nationals. Guidelines - http://indianconsulate.com/page/display/87/17. The part in India takes a long time.
Appreciate your help.

I want to switch from J1 to H1B.A physician at my University in the Emergency Medicine Department is ready to sponsor my H1B. This visa will be sponsored by Wayne State University, Department of Emergency Medicine. He and his department have previously sponsored 5 other individuals on H1B visa, all of them succeeded in getting the visa.Can you give any suggestions or guidelines in my case.

Hello,I'm currently on (unpaid) J1- Visa status, working as a research scholar in Michigan. This J-1 visa is sponsored via Wayne State University, Department of Pediatrics. I have a medical degree (M.D.) from India but I am not practicing as a physician or a resident in the U.S. I do not attend to patients or any doctor-patient consultation. I have no intentions of pursuing medical residency and do the J1 waiver (of working in a rural area in the U.S.) after the residency completion. I'm here only for research purposes.Can I apply for a J1 waiver through the 'No Objection' category? (I have the 2 years home stay requirement rule attached to the J-1 visa). I haven't signed any paid contract with WSU which binds me to work for them. I work there as an unpaid volunteer/research scholar. I have read many articles that Indian National candidates with a medical background (MBBS) don't usually have favorable response when it comes the No objection waiver.My position/designation at Wayne State University and Detroit Medical Center is that of a "Research Scholar".Please, let me know whether I have a substantial case for the U.S. state department and the Ministry of Health of India to remove the 2 year home country stipulation.

Thank you all! Much respect for your help and info so far.
I contacted the Indian consulate and they sent me a link and how to proceed further with J1 Waiver. Also, Is it difficult to get the "No objection waiver" if you were previously getting paid on your J1 visa? Because I have a colleague, she was on a unpaid J-1 visa like me and then had to change her visa to a sub-category of J1 visa where she was on a bi-weekly payroll. So this change on visa from unpaid J1 to paid J1 affects your chances of getting the No objection waiver. Please fell me in if you guys have any info regarding this.
