I am a soon to graduate Master’s student (Will be graduating in May). I have got a job offer and my joining date is in June. My employer says that they are going to apply for my H1b after I join for the new H1b 2015 cap. my opt starts on 1 june.
My questions are
-
What are my chances of getting a h1b if my employer applies in June?
-
I am aware that I can extend my OPT after one year and apply for next H1b2016 cap. My concern is that what are the chances that my application will loose in the lottery . Since that would be last chance of applying for h1b, missing it would mean I have to leave the country
-
Based on your experience, what would you say that the chances of loosing a lottery for a STEM student’s application is? high or very low?
Sorry I know these are little bit vague questions but I am really concerned about my future prospects, so please advice
Thank you
