I am doing this right now.
I'm on F1 and TPS now and applying for PERM.
There is statistics published about what status someone was on before their sponsorship. It was about 90% or more on H1B but it can be on any status.
In fact, the PERM sponsorship application can be done even without the person being present in the US.
There is a lot of bad advice out there because most consider the India/China case which has a long wait list to get green card and only makes sense through H1B. Also, H1B renewal is dependent on PERM which is also step for green card sponsorship and causes more confusion.
Also note that it takes 1-1.5 years to get through the process until the green card.
