Khatebuda, thanks. but what if H1b drops his H1b and stays on tps? by the look of tps for other countries it usually gets renewed and Nepal is no way going to recover in less than 5 years. So why not stay on tps, work, or go to school and when it is about to expire come to f1 or h1b? h1b may be tough but one can go to school at any time and get an f1. or even better from Tps you can file GC straight if your employer is willing, because there is no restriction to change status from tps to others. Since there are tons of dhoti consultancies who are going to file gc after working for them for few years whats the problem?
