PwC law mailed me saying I have a choice to upgrade my h1b application to premium processing but their strong suggestion is to not upgrade due to past trends of RFEs. What are your thoughts?!

I guess this is for extension. In that case, I had a similar option and went for premium processing. I preferred to know the outcome rather than wait in limbo as some cases were taking more than 6 months. If you run out of status by then, you may not be able to travel , drive etc. So it is purely a personal choice and risk appetite. Btw- luckily I got approval in 5 days.

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ?
