Hi All, I have an admission offer from IIM Bangalore for PGP program and also from Kelley Business School with 50% scholarship. I have 4 years of work experience with an Indian IT company. My post MBA goal is to get into Consulting post MBA. My second choice is Product Management. I would like to work in US for the duration of my OPT(3 years) and do not mind returning back in case H1B is not available. Considering the COVID-19 uncertainty and classes could be online for a semester(Or longer), which program I should go for?

Good! One there, but should this sail through (doubt it will) U.S gona lose great number of applicants to other countries

Nope, it's an idea that right wingers like Stephen Miller are fighting for since day 1 (Jan 2017).

PS: I have a cousin who did MS from T10 engineering school in the US, didn't get H1B lottery and is on OPT. I see how people are suffering through anxiety/depression and it's my job to tell people the reality of coming to the US in current times. I myself did MS from Top 10 school, waiting in green card line since 2014. You are just one layoff away from packing your bags and lose everything. So yeah, I would still say - if you are coming to the US, assume that you'll have to leave after your graduation, don't take any loans and try to get full ride. I'll also add - only aim for top 10 schools that have brand reorganization in India.

All the best.

It seems the plan is on then move now. The decision may appear this month to curb the OPT.
