Hello Peter, I am on F1 visa in US, working at Berkeley National Lab(DOE funded) as an intern for almost a year, I have received an offer to join them full time. Which visa should I consider: H1B or EB1/2 or O1?


The EB1/EB2 refers to a green card so that is probably not a good option because it takes too long. Between the H-1B and the O-1; they each have their relative benefits: the H-1B would allow you to travel without interruption during the green card process and the O-1 is effectively easily transferrable to another employer (while the cap exempt H-1B is not).
