Hi there, I was in a similar situation a few weeks ago.
I got two prematch offers, but was thinking of going in for the match.
It boils down to a simple choice between two very different philosophies:
(1) Is a bird in hand worth two in the bush?
(2) Should you always go for what you want, and that only. Basically, a risk taking mentality.
What helped me, was to think how I felt way back in September last year. Would I have been happy with the prematch offer that was sitting upon my lap in Januray 2005?
The answer was yes, and it was with a H1b visa, which I would have been very happy with at the start of the ERAS process.
So there you go,
I accepted the prematch, and didn't take any risks.
The choice is yours,
Good Luck.
Sunny D
