I got my H1b lottery picked in 2017 when there were 199,000 applications and I was thinking that my chances are so low. But now with 550,000 applicants, it’s crazy how bad the situations is. It’ll have a big impact on how many people will come to study in the US. I have been away from H1b lottery news, so blind folks, who is to blame here? Are candidates applying multiple times and there are far fewer different candidates (maybe only half or 275,000) and people are using witch companies for help? Or is it truly that a lot of people have eligible jobs? TC: 250k

Any Indians Think Kashmir Should be Independent?
Is 550k confirmed by USCIS
Stats, because I say so...
Where did you get 550k from? Most international students don’t need h1b. They go direct to green card while on opt. Only Indian and Chinese students need h1b.
Most of the international students are indian and Chinese
This is not true. Not everyone can get green card from opt. Depends on employer whether they want to sponsor you. Most employers have a requirement of 1 year before they can sponsor you and for them to wait the processing time of eb2 or eb3 while you are on opt does not make any sense. Take a look at Perm and DOL processing time. It takes at least 2 years in nowadays time.
Don’t worry about this, worry about you not getting green card in your lifetime 🥲
Haha! I think that’s true for most Indians but my spouse has a green card because he wasn’t born in india. We got lucky and actually benefited from Indians not getting GC
@asXq25 did you marry him for GC?
@wretegh this
Candidates are applying multiple times, and have been doing so for the past decade, this practice is more common now, hence the 550K apps
$10 registrations 😂. Its costlier to eat once outside than to register for h1b lottery
They must make 1000 to cut down and raise some free money
This is ☝️.. less prone to manipulations. I know bunch of them each filed 4 to 10 petitions.
uscis is a joke. most dumb people work there.. each candidate is filling 8-9 applications thru desi consultancies.. they don't even analyze why the fillings doubled from 270K to 550K
Why would they analyze shit? With increase in filings comes increase in revenue and they don't care who gets the VISA. For them we're all the same.
one thing i don’t understand is why would you issues more student visas than what you can issue H1B?🤔
Because not every student that want to graduate in a US university wants to work in the US then ?
@DEEEC you should leave, that will atleast reduce the queue by 1 person.
