This sounds like OPT on an F-1 visa. If the OPT employer likes you, then they sponsor your H-1B application, and with your masters+ degree from an American institution, you get two shots in the lottery. (And if there's a recession, the caps might not get hit anyway). Kind of a drag because you'll probably need to get a masters degree, but it'll help your immigration file later if you want to try for permanent residency, or if you give up and pick a new host country.
