Hello All,

I am currently working under OPT which will get over in Feb 2012. My employer was wiling to sponsor H1-B, but unfortunately the quota got filled on Nov 22nd. So the only option I could see now is to join a college that can provide CPT from day 1. I did find some colleges that could provide CPT from 1st semester but most of them are unaccrediated and I am concerned whether it will affect my H1-B application later on. Moreover, recently USCIS has raided and closed some of those colleges. 

Could anyone please suggest me with any options that can help to get a valid visa status without affecting my current job? If CPT is the only option, could you please suggest me some colleges that are accrediated and can provide me CPT from beginning of semester?

Any type of help or suggestion is really appreciated.

Thanks

does your major qualify for an OPT extension? if it does and you haven't already used up the extension period, you might want to start applying for an extension. check here if your major qualifies for extension: http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/stem-list-2011.pdf
