Asking for a friend: Friend works with a consultancy for a faang client. So basically a contractor Software engineer. Contract with this client ends in August. He will have to find a new client through that consultancy. Consultancy had applied for his H1b this year in March. It did not get picked up in lottery. Now he got a full time offer from Nordstrom. And he has only 1 chance next year to apply for h1b. His F1 visa expires in June 2023. The query is, 1. Can Nordstrom register for him for h1b cap for any second or third round of lottery that may happen this year? This will be like re-registration for same applicant but with different employer. Or only the registrations recieved in March are reconsidered for second or third rounds? Basically, is re-registration with a different employer allowed for second or third rounds? Or he has to wait till next March only? This way he might loose a good 1 or 2 chances of being picked up. Or should he continue with consultancy and find another client after August when current contract with faang client ends N hope that the consultancy will not revoke his registration? Does client change affect the registration? Or is that h1b registration still valid if the employee is with same employer but different client? Here he will have to let go of a good full time offer he got after a long time. Does Nordstrom help in any way if h1b is not picked and visa is about to expire.. like send to Canada or something? He is very much tensed. Please suggest! #workvisa #h1b

'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
It’s not possible to register for second or third lottery. Only applicants from March are considered. Your best bet is to continue working for same employer and ask Nordstrom extend your start date to Oct or something
Thanks for your reply. If his name gets picked up in second round with current employer, till when he has to continue there? There is no bond from there side. Will he have to continue working with them till he gets approval? I belive that would be sometime in jan-march 2023. Nordstrom won't wait till then. Also any idea, how long can Nordstrom wait?
I don’t know the answer for your first question. I think Nordstrom waiting would depend on requirement. Talk with recruiter or HM
