teja111 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi All, Hope everyone is doing well.. I am a F1 OPT graduate from a for-profit university ( stratford univ). I am in my last leg of my OPT and my employer is filing a H1B this april 2015. As this univ is for profit, I know I will not be able to apply under masters quota but still would like inputs from all readers what are the best options for me..?? Btw I have spoke to attorneys who can still file under masters quota. They have success stories of previous years ( Ramineni Law firm Boston MA). if you have dealt with them previously please respond.. And any stratford univ guys in same boat as me please respond. Looking forward for your suggestions. Thanks Link to comment

wiweq Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 What does the international office of stratford univ say on this? Is their masters degree authorized for H1b? Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 In the early days of the Masters quota, USCIS didn't enforce the law. Nowadays, trying to use a degree from a for-profit institution will result in a denial. Good lawyers know that. And even the people who way back when got approval now get denials when they do extensions. The bottom line: such a degree from a for-profit institution can NOT be used for the H1 Masters quota. Period. Link to comment
patela_24 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi Teja11, I'm already on my first H1 and from same univ. I'm in the same situation and actually thought of contacting ramineni associates for a long time. My H1 has to be transfered to a new employer shortly. Please PM and keep in touch. Link to comment

The transfer will get denied. That lawyer just gets rich off you guys... Your H1 is invalid. Period. Link to comment
