Can I do masters degree while on H1B

[zeusdlord]

Hi,

I would like to get your input on Master's degree while working on H1B. I am ok to spend additional hours for my online Masters. Is it allowed? 

The one which I am planning to do is 36 credit course for the duration of 2 years.

Part time education is allowed. I got two masters degrees that way while on H1B status. The school's international students office should help. In some cases you can also qualify for in-store tuition too.

Yes you can. But practically hard to complete in 2 yrs

As long as you fulfill the H1 obligations, i.e., working fulltime for your employer, you can study on the side.

Thank you all. I understand the practical difficulties. 

I work as full time employee and operate from my employer's corporate headquarters. So I guess I am eligible for part-time or online Masters. 

Now, its time to find some course which is affordable as well as recognized. 

Thanks again.
