After trying to deny the fact that I may not get the H1B-visa, I finally updated my resume. Let the job hunting in another country begin. Any tips/advice based on what you may have heard/experienced?

Same here. I would say reach out to partners/directors you worked with. Thinking about applying for a job out of college. Definitely easier with someone inside the firm referring you than applying on the company website, which is like a black hole...

^ I had 2 shots, no luck, and know a few folks who had 3 shots and didn't get it either. The lottery is getting harder and harder, with no perspective of improving the odds of well paid people (vs the almost 80% of the selected ones last year, who were making less than $70k).

@OP did you study in a STEM discipline? If your job profile matches you can get up to 17 months OPT extensions effectively buying you another 2 shots at H1B.

Glad a lot of these H1B's are getting shipped back home. Hopefully they cut back the numbers more next year. No offense to you, OP.

How much do you have left here in the states?

Time that is

1.5 months.

Firm won't sponsor those for less than a year. Network may help but no guarantee.

^ Yeah, I'm pretty sure it makes a lot of economic sense to ship back high income bracket tax payers (did you know that H1B workers are in a higher tax bracket than greencard holders?) and to keep the IT outsourcing guys from TCS and Infosys who make $70k/year and send almost half of that back to India.

@OP 3 times not selected is just tough luck...sorry! Guess it's time to 💍 💁 😝
