me. I just emailed PD to accept the offer.
I need H1B visa. what is the usual process of accepting prematch?

[ArchivalUser]

IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THE PROGRAM HAS ITS OWN LAWYER AND PAY THE WHOLE THING OR YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR OWN AND COVER THE EXPENSES.
ASK THAT FIRST

I emailed them that I accept the offer. so the deal is done, right? they can change mind? I hope they won't.
Am I expecting a written offer from them?

[ArchivalUser]

I heard that they will send you a letter of intent to sign via post. You should call the PC to find more about it. Do not worry, programs do not change their decision. So, you are 100 % safe )

I am very seriously thinking about accepting pre-match in FM . During my iv the PD told me that they have their lawyer to process visas. Should I ask pc about the cost of H1 to me?
I am planning on visiting my parents back home. When do you guys think usually programs process visas and contracts ....after the match or before. And is it better to be in US for that or can that be handled from any country
