Not Selected in the H-1B Lottery? We know that the H-1B visa is a popular nonimmigrant visa for those seeking employment in the United States. Unfortunately, this visa’s popularity typically results in many more applications per fiscal year than the annual quota allowed by U.S. immigration law. To deal with this problem, a large portion of those applications must first pass through a lottery system, which randomly selects from the total pool of applications whatever number is thought to be necessary to fill the annual quota. In this new blog post we'll cover alternatives to the H-1B visa. We'll work with you and your employer to uncover your next steps.
