The H1B situation in the US has been described as very "luck" based to me, and some have called it "a mess". Is that still the case? How much does it actually depend on luck, or other factors such as country of origin, occupation, etc.?
- adave 4y agoIf you are not from India/China its all good otherwise its a 100yr wait currently.So yeah country based discrimination baked into US immigration law sucks.
- malshe 4y agoThe OP asked about H1B and I think you are talking about green card. Btw 100 years for a green card? I don't think Chinese citizens have such a long wait although Indians have to wait a long time.
- markdown 4y ago> So yeah country based discrimination baked into US immigration law sucks. While it sucks for an individual from a high-emigration country, if one of the goals of immigration policy is greater diversity, than country-based discrimination is a fair solution.
- proberts 4y agoIt's luck in the sense that for your first H-1B, you must go through a lottery (a completely random selection process). The actual adjudication and approval of an H-1B petition, if the individual is selected in the lottery, for individuals with good educational backgrounds, is actually pretty easy. It's getting picked in the lottery that's the hard part.
