'American dream is...': Indian Redditors share dead-end in the US without an H-1B visa

An Indian Redditor shared the professional struggles they have to go through in the US unless they are selected in the H-1B visa lottery. The H-1B registration for 2027 opens on March 4 but the Redditor said the company already informed him that he won't be sponsored, even though it won't require a $100,000 fee as the Redditor is already in the US.

"I arrived in the US in 2021. I was fortunate to secure an internship, worked extremely hard, and eventually earned a full-time offer. However, as layoffs began across the industry, my job offer was rescinded just as I was about to graduate in December. With very little time left, I pushed myself harder than ever and was able to secure another full-time opportunity," the Redditor said adding that he was not selected in his third attempt either and he got another master's to continue living in the US and working for the same company.
