Need Lawyer Recommendation for EB-3 and H-1B visa from F-1

Hi all,

This is my first post here so if I did anything incorrectly please kindly point it out to me!

As the title said, I'm currently under F-1 (STEM OPT) and it expires 2023 February. I'm currently looking at lawyer recommendations for the EB-3 and H-1B application process. I'm from Malaysia so there's no backlog for GC application but I saw from a thread here that it might take longer for GC to be approved since it's COVID, and it'll be better if I could apply both H-1B and EB-3 at the same time.

I've brought this conversation with my employer and he seems fine with sponsoring me, but I do need to give him a rough cost break down for those applications. From my knowledge I think H-1B would cost more (if I opt in for premium processing for both of them)? I think it cost about 10k for H-1B (including attorney) and around 7k for EB-3. I'm also not sure if I could consolidate the cost of attorney if I prepare both application at the same time, I know I can only submit my application for H1-B on April but I can prepare them before hand right? If anyone who has vast knowledge on this side I would greatly appreciate it as well! I wanted to give him an easy cost breakdown but at the same time not over-estimating in case he'll be shocked by the numbers.

If he does sponsor me, I'll be the first employee in the company to have receive EB-3 or H1-B, so I don't think the Public Law 114-113 Fee applies to me.

Thanks for reading through and thanks in advance if you responded to this thread, I greatly appreciate any help!

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our

So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college?
