on H4 visa- looking for job opportunites. which Visa should I apply for & how?

[sindhu.shnkr]

Hey,

This is sindhu from Bangalore. I have 3+ years of work-ex as a Software Engineer, but i will be moving to US shortly on H4 . So i'll have to quit my job in India.
I have two concerns:
1) Has anyone got any suggestion about how i could get work permit and H1 ? are there any consultancies through which i can apply?

2) If that is not possible, can i get an F1 in order to get H1 later?
Has anyone got any suggestion about how can i convert H4 to F1 other than joining MBA/MS as that is out of my budget to afford. Any other Short term certification or Program may be an year or so which provides OPT/CPT . I Tried to look for such course in Santa Clara or San Jose State University, as i would be moving with my husband to San Jose. But couldn't figure out any. If someone is in Same situation, please advice. Any online course will also do if it gives work authorization in US.

fingers crossed :-)
Thanks,
sindhu
