A1B2C3 bro, which part of US do you reside? I could help you name some universities that will provide CPTs. In the meantime start some training on the area of IT you wanna be in, once you are ready transfer over to the CPT institution. Once you have that, there are employers eagerly waiting to place you in a job, as they benifit from your employment.

a1b2c3, As you can't get H1b from normal quota for this year, there is always non-profit organization H1b called "Cap-Exempt H1b category". In this category, can file h1b any time of the year regardless of the H1b quota. Most of the University jobs non-profit organization (I heard some hospitals as well, not sure about that) are like that and they can file H1b any time of the year and can start working as soon as it approves. But there are some down sides, if you want to transfer H1b to any private companies, you have to again go through H1b quotas. You can always transfer to another public institutions. I think, this is best choice in this type of situation. Hope that helps. Last edited: 10-Apr-14 08:57 AM
