Hi, if you are on your OPT and have an H1b pending, you can extend your OPT until October 1. Depends when in April your OPT expires but H1bs must be filed by April 1 so you could very well utilize that opportunity.

Depending on the country of citizenship, you could consider an E2 visa also.

I am a strong advocate for the Startup visa which would have helped you.

I assist startup founders with visa options and would be happy to help.
