Twelveangry,I think it would be a better idea to go for OPT. That way, you can work in your OPT right after it is issued and don't have to wait until October. If you file your OPT beforehand,like you said in April, you might get it by July, because normally the processing time is 90days, I believe and sometimes, they are issued well before that. Yes, you can apply H1B using your previous Masters degree if that fits the job description.Finally, I encourage that even though you apply and use for OPT for a few months, go forthe H1b this year, because every year the H1B quotas are getting tougher anf tougher; it isexpected that this year even the Masters quotas will be filled in a few days as compared tofour weeks last year. So, H1B's are getting tougher every year. So, go for it this time.Hope these help. Good Luck to you!
