Hello. There are no current H1b visas for jobs that require a bachelor's degree. You should immediate file for your Optional Practical Training (OPT). This will allow you to work in your field for one year. I would contact your international student adviser very soon. You may also qualify for a J1, trainee visa. But, I would need more information on your backgound and the job offer. Feel free to email: [email protected]
