Maybe most international students has known that in this year, even advanced H1B visa application will need lottery. What a sad and discouraging news.
Imagin after two years' study with huge tuition burden, we will be forced to leave off US due to lack work permit. How can we repay the loan without working in US? I am not saying to study in USA is to work here in the future. But at least, we need pay off all loan for getting great dental educaiton.

Hope the situation will become better later. Otherwise, I think I will have to work as a residency in some AEGD program and receive a small amount of money to survive while waiting for next year H1B visa.

Any thougt will be welcome. And if any, please introduce me other job opportunity like a faculty in a US dental school or else.

By the way, does anyone know the detailed salary situation in AEGD program and faculty position in a US dental school.

Thanks guys to listen my concerns.

I know exactly how you feel. Hopefully the H1B spots would increase the next few years, because the people applying will only increase.

Could you tell us more about AEGD program and what it is? Thank you.
 
Thanks for your sympathy.
AEGD is a kind of postgraduate program and the whole name is Advanced education in general dentistry.

I thinks we should figure out more ways to work or "survive" in dental career in US to be able to repay the huge loan at least.
 
I have hard time understanding you ? Why do you study in the USA if you don't have any status that will allow you to stay there and work after school ?
Have you ever thought about immigration to Canada, Australia, New Zealand ? They have clear immigration processes and your diploma is recognized.

Thanks for the info. By the way, do you mean US diploma or any other country's diploma?

You are right but this does not give you the possibility to work and pay back your loans. I immigrated to Canada with my home country diploma from Europe, but still have to do ISP in order to practice. In New Zealand in order to collect the points you need first registration as a dentist ( ergo recognized diploma)
The question was " how to repay huge loan without working permit "
Being dentist in Canada, Australia, New Zealand could give you the possibility to repay your loan. That was my point.
