Depends on ur field of study and university (hope they r not shitty ones). What r the chances of u getting H1 and GC ( how was with seniors ?) ? if its more than 50, stick with OPT. Otherwise explore TPS option.

Thank You for the response! I am graduating in electrical engineering. If i do not get jobs on my field, I probably would go to programming field. I am in dilemma because its not sure of getting 2 years extension.

Thank you for response. I am from electrical engineering and would go for programming if situation demand. I guess its more than 50%.

if u r not planning on visiting Nepal soon, apply for TPS (without EAD) while maintaining F1>H1 (forget u have TPS, keep it as backup). My understanding is they can go parallel.

If I apply for TPS, I will not get OPT and I have to use it in 5 months after I graduate. Am I right? Or I can apply for opt?

not sure. may be u should check with DSO regarding keeping ur sevis active and stuff like that. if u dont use TPS EAD,, u should be fine. just consult. but make sure to tell them to keep ur sevis active if u apply for TPS.
