Indian. My L1 got rejected. Worked 3.5 years for ms. The lady before me who got visa is a nun who will earn 0$ in US. I have been working in software field, got a cs degree, was going to earn and pay taxes, not from consultancy firm, in Microsoft solving technical things. The VO decided in 2 minutes about my life's fate. I mean all my knowledge, hard work, degree , interviews , planning the relocation , visa hassle and she decided to reject me. This is not fair when I hear they have been giving visas to consultancy people for years. Okay I am drunk and rant over.

This is actually good advice. Why let some foreign country’s immigration system control your life?
India has been losing top talents all the time.
There was a story of a guy who didn't get H1B after his MS to start working at Amazon due to which he had to return to India. That guy started Amazon-for-India thing (before Amazon entered India). That company is Snapdeal and was worth $6.5B at its peak (now $2.5B).
Funny thing is Trump used this example to show that US needs more high skilled immigrants of this kind in his election campaign.😁
You can read numbersusa (which is on the far right) or innumerable other less but still conservative ones.
I will be honest - you are asking basic questions and I am going to ask you to Google up - this article is a good rambling on raise act, but gives you a good sense on what conservative position is.

If you don't know, there was a kind-of-CIR known as Gang of Eight bill in 2013. It passed the senate with 68-32 but then the HR speaker (who was R) blocked the bill as it would increase GC count.
That was probably the last hope with Durbin as a cosponsor.

Do you thing this will happen again ever?
Frankly speaking, America does not need to give out more GCs just find a better allocation of the 1 million GCs. Family based immigration takes 2/3 of all GCs and most of those folks will end up on welfare and will never integrate in the culture. But then the donkeys don't want to touch family based immigration.
Secondly like others mentioned there are way more people who worked much harder and invested more time and effort to go to us and then got sent back.
Anyway don't worry too much, you can try again. And usa is not the end of the world. If Microsoft is not flexible enough to apply again or allow you to work at their Indian location, just switch jobs. You have the talent to do so. Good luck
As to the nun, there are visas for religious categories.
But this is pure disappointment, I think you can read that.
You better understand the situation and reply.
not a big deal
