Hello people of the reddit, 

I've had a F-1 Visa for the past 5 years and it expired in December of 2013. Before it expired I applied for an **OPT card** (Employment Authorization Card) and I've had that since February 2014. I recently got my job in June (IT Specialist), and I talked to my employer about the H1B visa and how that was the next step to my goal in obtaining a Green Card. Today I got some terrible news from them, telling me that the cap for the H1B visas have been met for this year, and the application process won't start until April 1st of 2015. My OPT card allows me to stay in the USA until Feb 2015, which means I won't be able to be here for the application process (they told me the whole E-Verify process that could extend my OPT card for 5 more months after it expires, unfortunately my employer does not participate in E-Verify). My employer advised me to renew my F-1 Visa and pursue my masters degree (which I'm still not sure if I want to do that... since, well.. $$$) so I could still work for them.

Due to my lack of knowledge in the whole immigration system here in the USA, I'm looking for some serious advise on what to do/how to move forward. I want to be able to some day obtain my green card, yet the only way I know how to, is through a H1B visa or getting married. So I'm asking you guys, has anybody gone through this? If so what did you do? I'm looking for all around advise as well, so if you know of other ways on how to obtain a green card I'd really appreciate it. Help!
