Re: change of status
You can try finding another job offer and through that get another H-1B. Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of money trying to set up your own consulting company and have that company petition for the H-1B. I don't think you're interested in changing to a student visa! Finally, permanent residence petitions through another employer will take too long.
