Recently I start helping chefs from oversea to apply their B1 and B2 and I also have helped others to get their F1 here. My education background is criminal justice and I also work as government marketing consultant especially with DOD. I really think that for people are planning to study aboard need to plan ahead. 3-2-1 as life may not always follow your plan. As I was planning after my study for 7 years, I will return Taiwan. It did not happen as I then married and have a family here and now my son graduated from college and works in IT firm. Even though my husband passed away in 2019 and he left me with our company and our son. Many of my friends especially from my schoolmate, she has kept her H1, but the end her status is not from H1 but instead she married an American. You do not know what life will take you but you can plan all you want. If any of you comes to US studying law, please consider to join Pro Bono. Right now, I am helping a local non-profit to assist their visa documentation. There are 11 millions illegally immigrants that you may be able to help with. Right now USCIS backlog visa still gets so hard. Especially now IT has been layoff due to use outsourcing oversea instead to hire full time employees inside the US. You may heard that Microsoft layoff lots of people early this year and most IT firms are now hiring freezing. Plan ahead and make friends and connecting with professional network. It all takes time. Plant the seeds and wait for them sprouts. Good luck with your H1B journey.
