This was claimed to me by an attorney and I don't know if this is true since many here seems to be waiting a long time for their visas.
I am from the Philippines and currently staying here. A U.S. employer is willing to sponsor me however the h1b cap is reached. So this attorney has suggested doing eb2 through F1 or M1 visa. Basically start with filing for PERM then go to the U.S. under F1 or M1 (I have a current B1 visa) and do a course or training or something. Then file for adjustment or concurrent eb-2 while in the U.S. Then it'll take 3-4 months before visa is issued.
I had a h1b 6 years ago when I did my residency training. The job is a physician job in a private practice. I have no research scientist background.
I hope someone can shed light on this. Thanks.
