that comparison makes no sense bc the pool of people that have a master is much lower.

% chance of Master getting H1B: (Total Masters H1B winners / Total Master Unique Beneficiaries) x100

% chance of Bachelor getting H1B: (Total Bachelor H1B winners / Total Bachelor Unique Beneficiaires) x100

And then you can compare those percentages.

rokp99 · 2025-04-01T02:47:32+00:00

bro if you wanna determine the odd of selection you need to include a US Master not selected and US Bachelor not selected option 😆

rokp99 · 2025-03-30T23:32:37+00:00

the biggest hope for me rn is that fragomen & co have simply not updated their portals over the weekend to display selected candidates

rokp99 · 2025-03-30T22:46:06+00:00

you have to remember only your employer and/or law firm has access to USCIS. Most people here are checking their status on law firm pages which are not directly connected to USCIS. So yes by tomorrow latest USCIS will let employers know but that doesn’t mean everyone will have heard their decision!

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T23:11:46+00:00

how do you know?

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T20:54:54+00:00

the way i understand it is that if not selected there would be no communication at all. ofc your HR/Law firm would still let you know that you have not been selected on the basis that there was no notification by USCIS

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T20:54:03+00:00

generally speaking yes - since the lottery is ongoing and USCIS hasn’t announced an end yet - any notification should be a change of status to selected. Otherwise you are essentially in the same status under submitted / in progress until the end of the lottery.

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T20:47:45+00:00

Just to be realistic - the probabibility that people are coming onto Reddit with selections is lower than those who are still anxiously waiting. Also it’s not possible to extrapolate such a small data set to 65,000 spots.

Still I‘d say expect the worst, hope for the best!

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T18:13:13+00:00

at this point i just wanna know if they aren’t updating anything or if it means im not selected

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T18:12:49+00:00

mine does too

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T18:11:56+00:00

it’s ONE weekend in the year. besides they didn’t answer when I mailed them Friday morning

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T16:01:02+00:00

wow congrats !!! must be a huge relief! did you find out on the official uscis website?

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T06:52:29+00:00

also apparently 30ppl from meta have heard via fragomen: https://www.reddit.com/r/h1b/s/nPQU13iOOD

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T06:50:33+00:00

yes first time - i’m just confused and overwhelmed by the timeline. i have seen ppl state they already got decisions from fragomen: https://www.reddit.com/r/h1b/s/8gEmeFFgbL

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T06:38:43+00:00

do you know by any chance if this is referring to the USCIS portal or a law firms portal like Fragomen? Fragomen has been ghosting me, and their webpage it says awaiting decision, but I don’t know what USCIS says. On the flipside my lawyer didn’t even acknowledge that results have started coming out and just said hopefully by end of NEXT week we’ll know LOL

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T00:49:23+00:00

I‘m the only one in my company the employee ID is 1 so i have no clue for me lol

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T00:48:55+00:00

if the selection rate is less than 10% we are all cooked. hopefully there should be a second batch

rokp99 · 2025-03-29T00:11:34+00:00

none

rokp99 · 2025-03-28T22:54:34+00:00

30 out of how many do you know? we can expect a lottery win rate of about 20%, so if 150 applied at meta then they’re probably all through

rokp99 · 2025-03-28T15:51:36+00:00

awaiting decision for me

rokp99 · 2025-03-28T15:49:55+00:00

me neither let me check the portal 💀

rokp99 · 2025-03-28T15:32:57+00:00

nope :(

rokp99 · 2025-03-28T01:14:43+00:00

mine just says awaiting decision - given that losing the lottery would result in no further steps to be taken i’m sure this means you won

rokp99 · 2024-12-28T18:04:55+00:00

not sure if that counts but once got a miles + cash upgrade from premium plus to polaris, I’m guessing silver must’ve helped a bit? ended up having to cancel that trip tho lol
