Hi I am a Master's Student in Computer Science,
I would like to know the pros and cons of staying on OPT for 1 year and then filing for H1-B. I will be a recent graduate and my employer wants to file for my H1-B this April but I think it would be better for me to utilize my OPT for 1 year and then file for my H1-B. My career counselor and my international affairs adviser at the university have both advised for this. Additionally, I am not sure whether I would like to work for this employer long term so I want to keep my options as open as possible.
Any insight would be welcome.
Thanks
