Hi. I am on STEM OPT which will be valid for next 1.5 yaers. I have been contacted by a recruiter who is not sure about the visa status. I am not sure whether Microsoft considers STEM OPT candidates. Also, I would need my H1B application to be filed for lottery in March 2021. Will they process it if I join them in January? #tech #stemopt #Microsoft
I did same last year. They do apply visa , need to sign offer and initiate visa before feb start. Fortunately my H1 was picked in my last attempt. Do it

Joining in January is a little risky, you have to make sure Microsoft and whatever third party immigration law firm move fast. Other than that you should be eligible for lottery.
Thanks for your reply. I am hoping to join them in the 3rd or last week of January
