Not really. First lottery picked enough ppl so that 2nd lottery would be unnecessary

Well fuck :(

No one knows yet. It’s all speculation. Though if they would’ve filled all spots they would have released a statement and the portal would’ve updated. That hasn’t happened, yet. So all we can do is wait.

Not true. The growth through numbers is highly likely inorganic. Which means a ton of duplicate applications. It’s not normal for the number to jump by 200k within a year.
As far as recession goes, it’s been worse for internationals, people are losing jobs and H1B based roles have a legal overhead cost wise. Not trying to get anyones hopes up, but the math doesn’t make sense.

485K folks applied for 85K slots. Not even a chance. Expect 700K for FY24

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew. Yesterday, my SIL was giving him a bath and just left him in the tub on the counter to go run upstairs for something. Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...

Anyone here who has rescheduled several times their visa interview appointment w/ embassy outside US. Allowed to schedule twice w/o penalty. On the 3rd time, it needs to be cancelled. Does yours say to wait 90 days to rebook and were you able to book immediately on the 91st day? Just wanted to know what you’ve went through ie, if there are other requirement needed when you cancel and then use the MRV fee.
