You can try as many times , till your OPT is valid ( I am assuming that you are on either that or F1). Also, h-1b petition are filed on April 1

Yes they may be less likely to sponsor but you still can. I have done this for 2 yrs straight and hit it got it this year in the additional round.

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
