Can my employer apply for my green card when I am on OPT

[AminaMasood]

Hi everyone, 

 

I have recently graduated as Associates in Computer Programming from Technical College in NC. I have done my Masters in Communication Sciences from my home country. Right now I am working as IT consultant on OPT. Can they apply for my green card when I am on OPT? What can be the limitations if they do or is there going to be any problem in attaining GC on OPT. 

 

Thank you

In theory they can file any time. First ask them the process in their company. secondly see if you qualify for a STEM extension and also consider the H1 route to give you time.
