hi guys

As i told  u i am going to graduate this fall; my advisor told me that if i anyhow find a jjob related to my studies then they can issue me a EAD or OPT for 18 months.. but if i ddont' then i have say bye to this country...i am looking for it, and prety sooon i will be geting it, as i ave applied in thousand of places...

well, i have a questions...is there a possiblitity that i get my Visa status change to F1 and again join the university for Masters...cause my adviosr told me that if i use the 18 months practical training time after my bacholer degree that i have to leave USA right after i get my Masters Degree...

so i was hoping if i could transfer my visa status from J1 to F1 within this gap of 18 months, before i join for masters degree.....

thanks, any suggestions will work....
