I’ve been in the US for 3 years on L1, now considering switching jobs bc my employer wants me to return to Europe eventually while I’d prefer to stay in the US. Do you fishes have any suggestions on how to find employers who may be willing to put me in the H1B lottery? I know it’s not easy, even though it seems like the lottery registration is only $10.

Will your current employer not sponsor for a green card

Unfortunately no

Depending on you YOE, you might have a better shot at the O1 visa. H1B is a lottery with less than 50% selection rate and doesn’t activate until October.

50? More like 20-30

Hi everyone,
Just trying to open up my DMs here, I don’t have a cute dog but I do have this cool looking fella in the couch.

I’m abre Zealand based UX designer, seeking referrals for roles in the US that can provide sponsorship, happy to work in nearby countries that are in same time zone while waiting for visa to be approved also.

No specific industry, just looking for a good company with a good product, such as companies like Figma.

Thanks everyone.

If I get stamping till Aug 2025, Can I come back before aug 2022 without any issue?
If I get stamping till Aug 2022, will there be any issues at port of entry
