Ask HN: Confused if doing Master's in US a good way to get entry

/throwaway I want to be in the Valley and do my own stuff there. I already have couple of web projects I am working on. I know I can work on my own projects from here as well but there just is not the atmosphere here. My former boss is the only person I know with whom I can talk about tech stuff and he shall be in States soon. The thing is getting the entry to States is very time consuming and pretty hard as well now. Someone suggested me I do my Master's from US and after that I can get an H1B from some company. Besides my former boss (I was working with him while I was pursuing my Bachelor's) might help me on that regard as well. tl'dr: Is getting education in States a good way to get an entry and subsequently citizenship considering it will leave me in neck-deep debt?
