Beware, Even H1B Lottery Isn’t Safe Now!
But things are slowly starting to change track as even H1B lottery system is coming under Jeopardy.
By: Tupaki Desk | 28 Feb 2026 8:00 PM ISTThe H1B work permit visa in United States is one of the most sought after documentations for the Indian community and it has been the case for many years now. But things are slowly starting to change track as even H1B lottery system is coming under Jeopardy.
An employee in the United States is facing a difficult situation after their new manager refused to approve their entry into the H1B lottery.
The worker was preparing to apply for the H1B visa, which allows foreign professionals to work legally in the US. However, the new manager did not give permission to move forward with the registration process.
Earlier, the employee’s previous manager had supported the idea and was ready to approve it without any issues. But after a change in management, things became uncertain.
The new manager either does not fully understand the process or is hesitant about the responsibilities involved in sponsoring a visa. As a result, the employee is now under stress because the lottery registration deadline is very close.
If the worker misses this chance, they will have to wait another year to apply again. This could seriously affect their career plans and future in the United States.
Immigration experts say that sometimes managers are confused about costs and legal rules. In such cases, employees are advised to calmly explain the process and clarify any doubts.
If the manager still refuses, the only option left may be to search for another employer who is willing to sponsor the H1B visa.
