Question

Hello,

I'm currently an F1 student working for an employer in Kansas City under OPT STEM extension. My employer applied for my H1B on april 2014 and unfortunately it was not picked up in the lottery. My employer is still planning to apply H1b by next year(april 2015). I just want to know my options if it's not getting picked up in next year lottery also. My Stem extended OPT will expire by nov 2015 and I have my F1 till 2016 July.

Thanks!

If you are Canadian or Mexican, you can consider a TN. If you are Australian, you can consider an E-3. Depending on what country you are from, and if you have money to invest in a U.S. business, then E-2 might be an option. There is always going for a graduate degree or marrying a U.S. citizen.
