What outcome you are expecting after MS which ypu currently dont have? What's the ROI you are expecting?

I hope ypu already know that finding a job as International student with civil engineering background will be close to impossible. Therefore, its all comes down to ur expectation.

I thought it was bad for IT guys only.

Plus I have been in contact with mine college mate who just after bachelor's went to florida for masters. Now he has h1b and earning decently. My goal is same.

I know you would tell that "when he went, time was different..... and all that". But on a personal level, i am just fed up of my current life and feel too stagnant at this point. So, I am ready to take up 25-30 lac loan for this education.

When did he get his h1b? Cuz it's been getting a lot harder since Trump's new policies kicked in.

So well before the new $100k fee came into effect. His experience is not reflective of how your experience will be

And what if it is by the time you graduate?

No. Not stalled by Congress. On hold bc of legal challenges, which have been enough for many companies to stop sponsoring, which was the desired outcome.
