Congratulations to those who made it. For those who may not make it, Another possible option, if the employer is eager to hire you permanently in future is to talk to them about the possibility of filing Labor Certification and initiating a PERM aplication on your behalf. It might take up to 6 months or more to go through the process but still its a better option, IF the employer is willing. Meanwhile opt for other measures to maintain your nonimmigrant status.
