Hello folks:

I just graduated from school and started work on
OPT. My company wants to file for H1b. I tried to talk to the company
attorney but he is kind of a jackass and I get a feeling he doesn't know
what he is talking about (if he was talking at all).

So,
basically I needed advice on if I should switch to h1b. I am eligible
for STEM extension too if that helps answering my question.

I
did some research online and found that on H1b I have to pay SS tax and
medicare stuffs. I don't want to pay additional taxes. I was wondering
if there are any benefits of being in h1b. If I plan to get GC in
future, will I be able to make the transition sooner if I am on H1b now?


Thanks in advance! Any information is appreciated.
