Congratulations on graduating - Good Job
Now it is a time for you to start looking for a job. don't wait until last minute unless otherwise you want to feel sorry for yourself. I hope you have some ideas about the current job market . there are hundred and thousands of applicants available for a single freaking job and to get a job you should be able to stand out in a big crowd.. Be smart and act accordingly, make a decent resume and start hunting a job. Life is all about taking chances and trying so you never know what you gonna get.
Now let me answer some of your questions-
I get a OPT for 1 year rite?
Yes you do but you can enjoy your one year OPT only if you landed a job within 90 days of your OPT start date. the 90 days time period is cumulative. this means you can not stay unemployed more than 90 days in one year OPT time period. there are ways to save your status- you can do volunteer job in a related field.
I
know this Dhoti Consultancy who are telling me that I should train
there and they will get me H1? Should I believe them and train with
them. I know no one who has been at that consultancy.
I don't like the idea of joining consultancy cuz they suck big time. Try yourself first. Go to consultancy only if you have no choices.
Don't even bother about H1 unless you have a real job. H1 is easy to say ( Just two alphabet right?) but it is very hard to maintain. I am not trying to scare you but this is what the truth is. H1 is not a solution. Even consultancy will not do your H1 unless you have a job in hand. Those days were long gone.
What are the chances of gettin H1?
It would have been a better question if you had asked what are the chances of getting job? well anyway, if you have real job then you pretty much can get it. i am telling you based on the current job market. But nothing is sure and guaranteed. Good luck though
If I do get H1, How much tax do I pay every month?
I think it depends on your income - very simple -more you make more you pay. I think H1 taxes are high.
I have also heard that computer related OPT can be 24 months as well.
It's not 24 months. It can go up to 29 months (12+ 17). Don't come up in sajha with a idea you have heard in crowd. make a habit of little bit researching - no offense just a suggestion. Everything is in there. Internet is nice handy tool. Use it for good.
hope this helps
Good luck
