I need some help guys. I am currently stuck at a desi consultancy and I was selected for H1b lottery. But its be 6-7 months I got training in BA/QA and I have no jobs yet. So now I came to know that I need to do a change of status to go to F1(currently I am on OPT and my h1b will start from october'08) again for my masters(I only have a BS degree) in  MIS. I also heard that if I study on f1 then also later I do not have to wait for the lottery and I can apply for H1b again easily. I dont know if it is true, so I need some suggestions. In the meantime if I leave this consultancy then I guess they will cancel my h1, so how will I be affected. Is anybody going thru the same phase as I am. I am fed up with this consultancy crap. I want to get my masters and work for some time and go back to Nepal. Please send me some suggestions.
