Studying in the US? Get a work visa

Unless they have decided on further education, most students who finish their graduation face a dilemma.

They worry about what to do next; whether they will get a job and, if they do, whether they would need to move to another city.

• Part II: Student visa to work visa: The journey

For Indian students studying abroad, the dilemma multiplies.

Consider, for example, the options you have if you are a student in the United States.

When you finish your Bachelor's/ graduate degree, your time as an F-1 (F-1 is a student visa) foreign student will also come to an end. Yes, you are proud of your accomplishments. But, you also wonder: 

~ Should I aim at a career back home or should I consider remaining in the US for a while?

~ I want to stay in the US. Will US employers be willing to hire me?

~ How can I retain my personal independence while pursuing an employment-based visa in the US?

Let's attempt to answer some of these questions.
