I am currently on STEM OPT which will expire Feb 2021, I've missed out on the lottery twice in two years and thus next year is my last chance to get approved for an H1B. What are my options if I don't make it? I work at Amazon, if that's relevant. YoE: 2 years TC: 197k
Or go on F1+cpt by registering courses and reduce work hours to 20 a week (max allowed for cpt)
Options: Canada Australia EU Singapore ... UAE Mexico Brazil Malaysia ... Belize China Russia Turkey ... Bangladesh Zimbabwe Botswana ... Iran Sudan North Korea ... Afghanistan Somalia Yemen ... India
@tackdriver you reeaallly despise India, don't you?
Let's be honest op. You don't like india in some cases hence you want to stay in usa. Everyone is like that. Nothing wrong in migrating for better opportunities. People have done that for centuries
Apply for Canada PR: Get your education credentials evaluated, get IELTS / CELPIP test results. This will take 3-6 months. You have that much time to decide whether to apply or not. If you decide, then you can apply in a week or two, and assuming you’ll get enough points, you’ll get PR in less than 12 months from today (imagine a life of no visa renewals, living as an alien, and being equal to all your colleagues in terms of work auth). Don’t waste money on CPT schools. It’s a waste of your life’s valuable time. 4 years from landing in Canada as PR you’ll have citizenship and you can work in US on TNvisa. Focus on having your current job/employer transfarable to Canada.
hmm

Ask them to apply directly for GC
I was under the impression I need to be on H1B for them to apply for my GC?
They certainly CAN apply for gc directly. Double check on that
