They oftentimes will support EB2/NIW filings in my experience but to be clear, because of the green card backlogs, almost certainly an EB2 filing won't allow you to stay past your STEM OPT; you will need another basis to live and work in the U.S.

Thank you! I am not from a country with EB2 backlog. What do I/they need to obtain(such as Perm certification) in the EB2 application process for me to continue working past STEM OTP EAD expiration date?

Every country is backlogged. At best, you are less backlogged than others.
