Hi Peter,

my SO is going to the US to pursue her PhDs. She's on the F1 visa, so even as her spouse I would not be able to work there on F2 visa (if I understood it correctly). I am finishing my masters next June, currently working full time. Is it realistic for me to expect to get H1B as someone with only master degree and 18months full time work experience? Is the $130k/y limitation coming to force any time soon? Is EB1A something I should look more into?

I just started looking more into US visa, apologies if my questions are too naive. Thanks a lot for your input.

I have seen a lot of folks like you who come on F2 and manage to get a job. If your experience is relevant to your field you will find a job but you have to display a certain level of skills to get one. All the best
