Some of my cohort ended up transferring to non-US offices for a year and then returning to the US on and L visa I believe. Perhaps you’ve explored that option but if not, worth considering.

I suggest the above if you want to stay in the US long term.

Been in those shoes. Try virtual firms — you’ll be surprised at their flexibility. Start with Sterlington.

Yea I’m confused then. Sorry OP.

We’re you working in the US already somehow? Or on a student visa?

Go to mba school at night and prolong your f1, it’ll likely increase your chances with the lottery as well

I think there will be another draw in July or august.

Get married to a USC???

I’m sorry this is happening to you. I know that pain and anxiety
