A:
Company A may be able to use premium processing for your H1B petition, which can significantly speed up the decision process. It’s important to confirm with them directly whether they offer this service and understand any associated costs or requirements.
You can file for a STEM OPT extension and an H1B petition simultaneously. This allows you to extend your work authorization while your H1B application is being processed. Make sure to adhere to all filing deadlines and maintain your current status during this period.
Given that your OPT is ending soon, it’s crucial to act quickly. Discuss your options with both companies to understand which path aligns best with your career goals and visa needs. Consulting with an immigration attorney can also provide personalized guidance to ensure you make the best decision for your situation.
