An Indian-origin Microsoft techie, Aishani B, shared her story of becoming a permanent resident in the US after trying for an H-1B visa for years. In a LinkedIn post, Aishani shared how she kept trying for the work visa every year between 2019 and 2025 and she did not get picked in the lottery a single time.
Sharing her feeling of repeated rejections, Aishani said the first rejection was hard, while the second came with rational thoughts but then onwards, there is nothing new to say. Meanwhile, she moved from US to Canada in 2022 and came back to the US in 2023 on an L1 visa.
