Interesting thread. I have a Masters degree and my OPT expires June 2007. My employer filed for H1-B and I just received a copy of I-797C. This document has a Receipt number beginning with EAC and Notice Date as July 19, 2006. My question is how long will it take for H1-B to get approved? After H1-B is approved, does this mean my OPT card is good no more? How long will it take for me to get Green Card if my employeer files with EB2 category? I have been hearing stories that people are getting GC within 11 months under EB2? Is this really true? Any light shed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
