Hello All,
I have finished my 1st Masters and when I am in the final semester, my school lost its Accredition which resulted in loosing my STEM OPT. I graduated thinking I would get H1b and my H1 did not get picked in 2016, 2017. To maintain status, I joined a Day 1 CPT school and filing H1 in 2018. My CPT is also ending by Summer 2018. What are the options I have to legally stay if my H1 did not get picked in 2018? My F1 Visa is valid till August 2019.
The only option I can see is going for a PhD, graduate, get OPT, STEM OPT and Green Card. Please suggest and any help is greatly appreciated.
