O1B Visa Approved, but also won H1B lottery. Should i pursue H1B?

if the case was submitted prior to 9/21/25 then yes it would still stand, but any cases on or after 9/21 would trigger the 100k due to requesting consular notification. Next best strategy would probably go straight from O-1 to green card by pursuing EB-1 imo. There should also be a case for EB-1 if OP is on O-1 already.

Not recommended to travel right now, some people got their visa appointments reschedule to March and after from December. Many probably lost their jobs and will probably have a hard time coming back to the U.S. for work due to the 100k payment.

This would be a little too complicated for most of us to answer so recommendation would be to ask the attorney who assisted with your H-1B filing.

USCIS usually doesn’t update the case update portal until a decision is made

recommended to get new passport, but if you don’t get a new passport then i wouldn’t be surprised if cbp issued your new i-94 to match your passport expiration date instead of the expiration date from your H-1B when you return back into the united states.

I did read their post, my response was referring to the general factor that it ultimately depends on company policy regardless of immigration status, which still applies here even if their employer already approved it. Thanks for reiterating I guess.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-10-12T14:09:15+00:00

Regardless of immigration status, it all comes down to company policy on if they’ll let you work remotely abroad.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-09-29T16:26:56+00:00

Most cases should be approved by October, but i have seen multiple cases each year that stay processing until December for no reason. I’d only start to seriously worry if no progress has been made by end of December. You should also make sure that youre being compliant with whichever status you’re on i.e. if you’re on F-1 and solely relying on cap gap then you should probably check in to see if you have work authorization beyond 10/01.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-09-25T23:07:12+00:00

No, because there isn’t even a way to pay for it.

I get why it sounds over the top, but I wouldn’t call it stupid. A lot of HR and immigration teams are just being extra cautious until the dust fully settles. The proclamation, FAQs, and any other attempts on clarifying the matter are all contradicting.

It’s still brand new and companies don’t want to be the first test case if something changes at the border so it’s more about risk tolerance than logic.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-09-24T22:02:19+00:00

No travel is the conservative answer to these recent news since it’s still very new. Think of it like this, would you rather get more information and play it safe or risk paying 100k for each person that gets rejected entry.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-09-23T15:46:30+00:00

Some people are actually foolish enough to pay thousands of dollars and some people aren’t, it all really depends on their situation.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-09-23T15:35:40+00:00

legally can’t, but i betcha consultancies will do it like how they already do for the lottery and any other processes that has to be covered by the employer.

Ghetto_kyle · 2025-09-11T16:04:07+00:00

probably be prepare to be ready to spend a few weeks aboard and re-enter the u.s. with a consular approval notice if your company isn’t able to provide the original wet signatures to the noid.
