It is generally accepted that the sequence
 
1N - 2H
2S - 3H
 
is a game forcing, major suit 5-5, with possible slam interest. Opener bids 3S to accept spades as trump and anything else to accept hearts as trump.
 
Don't do it the other way around as some play the sequence:
 
1N - 2D
2H - 2S
 
as showing an invitational 5h+4s hand.

So 1nt  2 H

               and looking  for slam?
