Thanks for answers guys.

Reason I am hesitant to go to Nepal is I got H1B in IT field which is not my major. Most people I know in this situation have stayed in US until getting GC. I dont want to go to Nepal and get rejected and get stuck there ..

Also If I decide to go to Canada, will I get a tourist visa as I dont have valid US Visa (student visa expired already) although have valid H1B status. I have friends on other side of border so staying there shouldnt be a problem. If I get Canada visa I am thinking to drive there. Is this a good idea?

If anyone else is my situation and have been here please leave a comment. Thanks everyone.
