H1 Regular to Premium conversion

[nefan]

Hello,

I am a concerned muslim immigrant who has been waiting for by H1B extension approval for over 6 months. This is with regular processing. Now, i know, it's taking more than 8 months to get H1 approvals in regular processing. But in another month after Jan 20th, I may not even be allowed to live in this Land of Great Opportunity. So, i asked my attorney about upgrading to premium and this was part of his response.

" In conversion petitions USCIS may approve for one year only instead of 3 years sometimes and chances for RFE is also high. "

Is the above statement true? Do i wait another 2 months to get the approval in regular processing? I have an approved I-140 too. Has anyone heard anything about the Great PEOTUS trying to kick muslims out? I mean i wont have a valid approved H1 when he becomes president.

Please suggest.
