I got my H1B rejection yesterday...

How is rejection different from Denial? I am guessing this just means I wasn't picked.

Correct, received the same email yesterday.

Start looking for transfer options

Yep. Start networking with partners and recruiters in other offices

Yeah .!!

Wait was this your last shot at H1? If not, better luck next year. If yes, transfer options out of the US as mentioned above

2 years is a long time.. wait for one more chance and start looking for options after.. meanwhile work on your profile.. by gods grace you ll get it next year.

Same. Just got my rejection

If you work at OSDC Orlando or other location, please look to join elsewhere. I know 9 people who where rejected.

Do you have a Master's degree? On what grounds are they rejecting?

Got it. Should have read the entire thread 👍

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

Is there a way of bypassing the H1B lottery? I was told by an external recruiter that if I joined their London team, after a year I could go through H1B process without the lottery. My preference is to remain with Deloitte and transfer - can Deloitte put me through without the lottery? Are there stipulations such as minimum tenure or degree types etc?
