Hi Folks,
I'm an Indian and I know that since MBA is not a STEM degree, the extension I would get is only for 9 months post-MBA, after which I would be subject to the H1B lottery, where there is a 1/3 chance of me securing a visa.
I want to stay in the US after my MBA at least until my loans are cleared and maybe even beyond that.
So my questions:
1. Is it advised to do a MBA there and take the chance? Few people depend on their employers posting them in europe or canada in case they don't secure a H1b but isn't that too much to bank your MBA on?
2. Any similar examples where people have succeeded or failed?
3. I've applied just to Canadian MBA programs because of this. I know the average salary and reputation for most Canadian programs are low compared to the American ones. Does this make sense?
Would love to know any thoughts about fellow candidates about this!
Regards

Cyclops11,
So post MBA, I think you will be on CPT which is 12 months (not 9). Also since you hold a Master program, your h1b chance increased to 50%, master holders have their own h1b pool. Obviously the % varies year to year but 50 is a pretty good approx
1. I'm taking my MBA in the U.S. and am taking my chance, 40% of any MBA classes are internationals so you won't be alone. Also you don't need to depend on U.S. employer to post you in EU, you can just apply. Lost of U.S. MBA are world-wide known
2. You can look up MBA employment report, lots of international students get hired and sponsored
3. This would make some sense if the President elected eliminates H1 program. I don't think it makes sense as of now
