“My H1B was not selected again this year. It was my last chance and I’m honestly bummed. It still doesn’t feel real.”
Talking about the emotional burden of repeated efforts, the user said that he had experienced several highs and lows and had worked tirelessly to get to this point.
“I’ve always considered myself a lucky person…but I guess not in this case. I don’t think I’ve ever cried like this before. I didn’t even know I was a person who could cry like this,” they said, emphasizing that “seeing my co-workers so genuinely upset or even crying for me… breaks my heart.”
After several years in the United States, the man opened up about the profound personal impact associated with the visa decision. “I’ve lived here for a long time and it really feels like home. So, yeah, I feel lost right now.”

This is the only country I’ve lived in as an adult where I felt like a foreigner in my own country. The H-1B lottery is one of the most frustrating things. Relying solely on luck after investing years, money, and effort is a terrible system.”
