STEM OPT
Published Mar 17,2017
By Jatin
Hi,
I am planning to apply for a green card and I talked to couple of lawyers they said its going to cost around $10K to file EB1A and NIW. I am currently on OPT stem extension until NOV 2018 and I want to start the process as soon as possible. Can you please send me a self kit which I can refer in order to file NIW application and whether OPT STEM affects the application process? I can ask OSU to file an H1B for few years but I at least want to get started with my NIW application.
I can even send you my CV so that you can take a look and advise me on which process to follow.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jatin,
Regarding the DIY packets, you can get them here: http://www.greencardforphd.com/purchase
There is also a lot of useful information in the free e-book: http://www.greencardforphd.com/free-ebook
F1 does not affect the application process, however, the reversed is true: if you apply for the permanent residency, you may not be able to receive F1 and other nonimmigrant visas in the future.
Please feel free to ask any further questions in this thread.

Hello Jatin,
I’m in same boat. Could you please share your green card experience so far, so I can get any insights.
You mentioned OSU which I’m assuming is Ohio St Univ. If that is the case, I live close by and we can schedule a meet to talk in person. You can reach me on my email vishwamunni89_AT_gmail_DOT_com
Did you file I-140, I485, I-765 concurrently?
What status were you on when your OPT expired?
For indian and chinese nationals, wait time is long, So, can you still work with I-485, I-765 pending?
