dear haku_theblack,

Thanks again for your response and for your willingness to make me clear and help me. Okay I have a straight question: Currently I am pursuing Masters degree and my university does not provide CPT at all (regardless of which semester I am on and which discipline I am on). Also I can't get OPT after I am done since I already consumed it after I finished my 1st Master's degree a couple of years ago. Suppose I apply for job and a company really want to hire me because of my previous professional work experiences and lets say also becasue of my technical academic background. Please assume the company really want to hire me at any cost, they need me on their company. Now, we (I and the company willing to hire me) both know that I, as a non OPT student in US, am not allowed to work. So in this scenario, can't they first file H1B for me (even for 2016) and once I get H1B on my hand, can't I legally work in that company? And can't a consulting company be the one who like to file me H1B while I am in non OPT student status? Isn't there any case or record in history that a company hired a non OPT student by first filing H1B for him/her?

Please don't get me wrong. I just want to make sure about this.

Thank you.
