Sure thank you 😊

If your firm is paying for the premium processing, why not? If they want you to pay and it is a big amount for you, then you should think about - how much time you have left on h1b, do you want leave your current firm anytime in near future as you should stay back with the current employer at least 180 days post I 140 approval, do you have a spouse who can benefit from an approved I 140? Once approved, the priority date should be the filing date of your I 140 so you wouldn't lose out on that front in either case.

Thank you so much. Yes, they do pay. I have three more years of H1B and I have no plans to leave. No dependable spouse and we have our independent H1Bs. Yeah, priority date is Perm date. Okay, I’ll go for premium then 👍
