A friend of mine just lost the H1B visa lottery. She is considering trying to stay to get a master's. Is that a good option right now?
Can someone with an H1B visa change their status to try to claim asylum?
- proberts 7y agoThere is an option of getting full-time CPT/work authorization through a master's degree program and many F-1 students pursue this if and when they are not selected in the lottery. Whether to do this is a personal decision because there is substantial cost (tuition) associated with this. Moving from H-1B to asylum is generally very difficult unless there has been a change in conditions in the worker's home country.
