How employers approach to people that are non- US Citizen, but are on OPT ?

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of applying for a master's degree in U.S ( Networking or Cybersecurity), and this question is eating me alive. Because I don't have the required finances to afford the degree & living expenses, I will be getting a loan.

And to pay off this loan, I have to work in U.S because I basically make around 800$ in my home country because of the exchange rate. And I'm looking at a 650-700$ monthly payment for years.

A little bit of background information about me ;

  • I'm not from India or China
  • Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems.
  • CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) Certification
  • 8 years of experience in global / reputable companies (4 years IT Infrastructure Specialist, 4 years Senior IT Infrastructure Specialist)
  • Looking to get a Security+ Certificate and a master's degree in Networking / Cybersecurity

My questions are ;

  1. What do you think my chances are to finding an employment ?
  2. How do employers approach to people on OPT ?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion. ​ My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family. My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time. I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998 I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this: I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card. The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/v

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
