Apple policy when employee fail H1B lottery

What does Apple do when their employees didn't get a H1B lottery in the end? Is there a oversea office they will send you to? If so what is the policy like? Do you have to have a similar oversea team as you are in now? Software Engineer position.

Yes we do have a team handling all Immigration related relocation . Your manager will have to initiate the process.

Why manager? Why can't individual do it herself? In Google, I can initiate any immigration process including GC if I'm employed. I don't need approvals.

It’s like asking why all companies are not doing free food? Everything comes at a cost and it has to go through approvals.

India has a maps team which is an option if you are from India and want to go there

Uber hdro OP Jul 15, 2018

Is India the only option?

Yes but wouldn’t that be transferring to another team? I think Urhw48 was trying to say that you can work for the same team but from a location outside the country.

That would depend on the team and manager. Easy if other location has a local team working on the same thing. But if not It is tougher to do at Apple compared to other companies.
