B-2 Change of Status (COS) to H-1B requires filing of H petition on your behalf by a US employer willing to sponsor you for such a work-authorized visa classification (not a simple process since receipt of a LCA - labor condition application - from DOL and other factors are required steps prior to filing of H). Currently there are no H visa slots available until the new 2014 FY allocation which begins on April 1st of this year (for H employment authorized as of October 1, 2013, at earliest). You should consult with an experienced business immigration attorney to guide you and the potential employer sponsor through the process as soon as possible since, optimally, filing should take place on your behalf on April 1st of this year for greatest probability of successful outcome due to pent-up demand for the newly available visa slots which are about to open up. With a US master's degree you would be in a preferred position to receive one of the 20,000 available slots which will be open as of April 1st for those potential beneficiaries possessing at least a US master's degree. Rate of success is usually high if handled properly.
