Transition from STEM-OPT to EB-2
I’m working under STEM-OPT as an epidemiologist. My STEM-OPT expires June 30 2023. I got approved for NIW priority date is April 18 2023. What options do I have to maintain my current job after my OPT expires in June? Is it true that I cannot file for adjustment of status or employment card until my priority date becomes current?

Thank you @Yas I . Do you know if I can apply for I-765 while I wait for my priority date to be current? or if there is any form of temporary employment authorization during the wait

Look for cap exempt H1B - non profit employers can sponsor you.
