I'm converting straight from STEM OPT to Green Card.

PERM filed last month. On STEM OPT

We do

like

F1 is non-dual intent so you’ll have to convert to H1 or some other dual intent visa first

like

Not 100% true. You can do the PERM and I-140 and even I-485 without issue for a F-1 visa holder. The intent issue would only arise if one travels or attempts to renew/extend their F-1 visa post-I-485 filing.

I’m curious for those on F-1 whose employers are pursuing PERMs, are you from ROW or India/China?

like

I know of no employers who do this. If you are from China or India, an employer is highly unlikely to do this.

Won’t happen for India/China folks but know people from ROW who’ve done this.

Congratulations to the folks who weren’t born in India or China 😭
