Hi
I want to figure out if my profile is good enough for applying to top 1-10 or 10-20 Ranked US Schools or no.
Some Key Snippets :
1. Graduate in Biotechnology - Good CGPA
2. Masters (MBA)in Marketing Communications - A specialized field dealing with Advertising and Media
3 Work Ex - 8 Years (9 by the time I apply) - In 3 MNC -CPG Companies as - Sales Manager, Brand
Manager and Senior Brand Manager (International Role)
4. Reason for 2nd MBA - A super specialized first MBA is now proving to be limiting in terms of moving up the corporate ladder. The knowledge and perspective required for a true managerial profile is lacking in me esp with regards to the expectations from a global role. Am finding this extremely frustrating.
5. GMAT Score : Not yet Taken : Expecting anything between 660-700 basis mocks.
Other Info :
1. Selected as member of Indians Under 35 - Young Thinkers Club by India Foundation backed by Government of India
2. Head - Admissions & Student Relations Team SIBM (MBA College) 2007-2008
3. Founding Member SIBM Quizzing Club 2006-07
4. Associated with YuvSatta - A Gandhian NGO working towards Communal Harmony
5. Personally Involved with a lot of activities around making India Open defecation free.
6. Winner of Numerous Quizzing Activities (National Level - ESPN, LIMCA, BBC etc)
Key Questions
1. Is my work Ex and first MBA (Specialized) a REALLY BIG deterrent (Even to get into 10-20 Ranked Colleges as well. ? I am not too keen on Europe based colleges
2. Is it easy for people to get an H1B in US if they wish to work for a CPG company there post MBA ?
3. Is Executive MBA a good option if this doesnt work out ? PS : I cant manage a company sponsorship... Additionally I would want to work in US post my MBA.
Thanks and Regards

But seriously, Im not a lawyer, so cannot provide you with any information about Visas. Your best bet would be to speak to an immigration lawyer, and get feedback from colleagues. From my experience I can say that most of our clients who were Indians and went to Bschool in the US were able to get visas and work there.
