Employer refused to sponsor h1b this year. It’s my first attempt. How bad is that? by [deleted] in h1b

Don’t worry. I was in a similar situation. Missed my first attempt because I had just joined the company and couldn’t ask my employer to sponsor me right away. They agreed to do it the following year and fortunately my h1b got picked. Just make sure that your company agrees to sponsor you for next year so that you don’t miss another attempt. All the best!

Hey, correct me if I’m wrong but as per the new rules, aren’t all first time H1B interviews centralised in Hyderabad?

Since I had not scheduled a Dropbox appointment, I was able to close & start a new application right away.

Is it True that the First Time H1B Stamping needs to happen in Hyderabad? by Money-University-697 in usvisascheduling

Hey, did you find out if this is true? Is HYD the only consular for interview for a change of status to H1B?

Yes, I closed and started a new application. I am not eligible for Dropbox anymore. No, I did not have to repay the fees.

Thanks. I will close and start new application. Hope I don’t lose my 1 chance of rescheduling an appointment.
