I am posting this at several places. My apologies if you have seen it several times.

I am currently on F-1 Visa and was recently offered an instructor position at a for-profit educational institution. My OPT will expire early next year, so I need to apply for a working visa.

The Human Resource says that I cannot apply for H-1 B visa right now because the for-profit educational institution is subject to H-1 B CAP. I am wondering whether there is any other type of visa I may apply to remain elgible to work in US, such as J-1, O-1? Or whether there is any way for me to continue to work after my OPT expires? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Below is my background. Hope this helps.

I have fairly good professional background: phd from a top school, several journal publications, one patent, active in the field. The for-profit educational institution offers bachelor's and associate degree. The main task of my job is teaching and curriculum development.
