The F1 Student's PLAN B -Canada & Australia Pathways
Priya's Second Lottery Loss: The Turning Point
Not selected.
Priya Sharma stared at her phone, reading the H1B lottery result for the second time in two years. April 2024. She was 24 years old, had graduated summa cum laude from USC with a Master's in Computer Science, was working at a well-funded startup in San Francisco on OPT STEM extension, and for the second consecutive year, the lottery had not selected her.
Priya's Second Lottery Loss: The Turning Point
Not selected.
Priya Sharma stared at her phone, reading the H1B lottery result for the second time in two years. April 2024. She was 24 years old, had graduated summa cum laude from USC with a Master's in Computer Science, was working at a well-funded startup in San Francisco on OPT STEM extension, and for the second consecutive year, the lottery had not selected her.
The math was brutal. With approximately 780,000 registrations for 85,000 available slots, her odds had been roughly 11%. She'd now lost twice. Her STEM OPT extension would expire in 14 months. Without H1B selection, she'd have 60 days to leave the country she'd called home for six years.
I remember calling my parents that night, Priya told me later. My mom was crying. She kept saying 'Come home, beta.' My dad was silent. They'd spent their life savings-nearly $200,000-on my American education. And now a random lottery was going to decide if it was all worth it.
But Priya didn't go home. Instead, she did something that changed her life: she started researching alternatives.
