Hi ,
Currently I am working in L1B , this year my H1B got picked in other small company . I have 4 chances to try H1B in current company , Is it right to take my H1B offer go with small company or can I stay with L1B and try H1B next year in this current situation. My new H1B petition going to submit by this month end . I need take decision before that . Thanks
There’s no guarantee you will get H1B in the next 4 or even 10 attempts. What you have now is real. I will have H1b even with a one-person company than a big company on L1
Thanks Raghu .

Hello Raghu,
Currently I am working in L1B , this year my H1B got picked in other small company . I have 4 chances to try H1B in current company , Is it right to take my H1B offer go with small company or can I stay with L1B and try H1B next year in this current situation. My new H1B petition going to submit by this month end . I need take decision before that . Thanks
When will I know the status of my application is ‘Submitted’ or ‘Denied’ as my application has not been selected in lottery?
what is the selection percentage of regularcap?
It’s not reported by USCIS.
Was there a drop in the number students entering US last few years ? How can the masters quota increase so much ?
I think duplicate applications from different employers, if this is the case then it’s so unfair.
Is there any chance to get a change status from Submitted to anything else today? (31st)
Have the USCIS completed sending selection notices or can we expect till 31st? Thanks
@Raghu I guess unique in USCIS sense means unique registrations from employers (removing duplicates from same employers or their subsidaries). If unique here is related to h1b visa receipient then it can be 20k pr 50k more.
That’s what I think. 25k on average.
Hi Helen,
did you file under the masters cap?
Waiting to hear back. If anyone’s heard back, it’d be great to know.
Still waiting to hear from my attorney. Has anyone heard if they have been selected?
I’ve been selected, lawyer reached out to my firm who reached out to me.
Lucky you. Congrats..!!
I got selected.My attorney told me on march 30th,2020
I am in India.i did not find a H1B sponser this year.
I worked in USA from 98-2007 on H1B visa, came to India in 2008. In 2016,H1B filed from consulting company from India resulted in RFE.Even though one company from NJ invited me to USA in 2018 with the word that they can transfer H1B,did not get client invitation letter and came back to India in 2019 Jan.
Now what are my options to work on USA this year
