PhD or Second Masters to get work permit?

Hi,
My wife is a US GC holder and the Immigration Visa through her (she has a GC for 6 years now) will be taking more than a Year. I recently came from US as my H1b project got over. I want to go back to US and want to spend this year long time for study / work so we can live together. I have a Bachelor in Computers and MBA in from Indian Universities. I also have 15 years of International experience.

I read online about 1day CPT etc. and was thinking if Second Masters or PhD will be good option for me. It will be excellent if I can get the option to work also as early as possible.

Please suggest. Also, please suggest the best colleges / courses. Thanks.

The Day 1 CPT is one of the most abused systems and subject to much scrutiny. You need to really be careful. Read article Can I work o Day 1 CPT, Second Masters, we have covered everything you asked here.

Thanks. I will find a better alternative.
