PERM filing on STEM OPT

[samar_j 0]

Hello,

 

I need guidance/advise on getting the PERM applied on STEM OPT.

Unfortunately this year, I was not selected in the H1B lottery and it was my first year of OPT. I got approval of STEM OPT recently.

 

I wanted to know the cons associated with perm filing on STEM OPT as my organization agreed on filing perm on OPT, what are the long term consequence's? Suppose in the future (during next 2 years) if my H1B gets selected, will there be any impact on the PERM process? And if in case, H1B does not come in the lottery for next 2 years, what are my options if by the end of STEM OPT time I have the approved PERM.

 

Any inputs on this will be appreciated.

 

Thank you.
