Hello There, I just finished my masters and recently found a job, but the employer is not willing to sponsor H1B until they "observe" how I work for a few months. However, the problem is that I am not a STEM graduate and I fear that the H1B quota for this year will run out by the time my employer is convinced in order to file H1b for me. Not being on STEM will not allow me to extend my opt either. So here's my question.
Can I join a second masters next Jan and go on CPT with the same employer and file H1b in April 2011? What do you guys think?

First of all, I don't think H1b quota will be over so soon this year. It is predicted to be open till Jan next year and even if you are so suspicious, yes you can join the Same employer on CPT and file the H1b next year. Good Luck!

my employer is willing to hire me on CPT, but I don't know if my school will allow me to do that. Do you guys know of any schools that would offer CPT in the very first semester, or after 1 semester of part-time classes?
