Options if Not Selected in H-1B Visa Lottery | Alternatives
Alternatives for Employment
If you are not selected in the H-1B lottery, there are some alternatives to consider:
- Your employer can file again the next year
- Look into other work visa categories like L-1 or O-1
- See if you qualify for programs for students (OPT) or recent graduates (STEM OPT)
Options Outside the US
You may also want to consider employment opportunities in your home country or elsewhere abroad. Gain more work experience and try for an H-1B again in the future.
Please consult an immigration attorney to understand all your legal options. There are many valid pathways to working in the US - the H-1B is just one option.
