Can my employer initiate an EB2 case for me now, even though I am on OPT? If so, can I use that approved I-140 to move to H1B status without having to go through the lottery?

It is possible to be sponsored for an EB2 or EB3 position while still on OPT. But, even if the I-140 is approved, this would not exempt you from having to go through the H1B lottery. (07.May.2025)
