I came here for my undergraduate and then went on to H-1B, but that requires you to be in a position where the company deems you valuable enough for them to spend time and money to sponsor your visa. Also with the quotas getting filled on the first few days itself, it is literally a lottery.

If you are a little flexible, I would suggest applying for immigration to Canada, the path to US would become a bit easier that way (through TN - but that has it's restrictions too).

I've been in US for more than 13 years and my future in this country is still uncertain because the Green Card process is tied to employment and takes forever, I still have a 4 to 6 year queue in front of me. In the meantime, I applied for a Permanent Resident status for Canada and just got it this past July, without ever having stepped into that country! My plan is to work in US for sometime and move to Canada, live there for few years to get my Canadian passport and then decide where I want to live.

I'm interested in learning the immigration path to Canada, but unlike the US, I haven't found many people with experience in Canada immigration, especially the path you took (PR via job and stuffs). Do you mind if I have your email for a few questions?

My email is also in my profile, if you don't want to post your email here. Thanks much!
