Hi Peter, Thanks for doing this. 1. Since premium processing for many H1B categories is suspended are tech companies looking to wait out 2 or so months to wait for the USCIS approval to hire an H1B(assume in this case that person cannot work on the receipt of the H1B application)? 2. What processing times are you seeing currently for H1B petitions?

Just a datapoint: I recently transferred while premium processing was suspended, and it took only about a month for me to get the approval.

  That's right, regular processing of H-1B petitions oftentimes is not taking as long as people initially feared. In my experience, they are getting reviewed within 2-3 months, sometimes less.
