So, let’s say someone studies in the US, spends all that money, and then doesn’t get the H-1B visa… do they HAVE to come back to India? Like, how common is that? Also, side question—what’s the price of a student visa to the USA? Just wondering how much this whole thing costs.
Yeah, this happens to a LOT of people. H-1B is literally a lottery, so even if you have a job, there’s no guarantee. If you don’t get it, you either find another way to stay (like an O-1 visa if you’re super skilled) or yeah, you gotta leave. Sucks, but that’s how it is.
Yep, I know seniors who had to come back because they didn’t get picked. Some tried Canada instead, some switched to remote jobs, but many just came back and found work here. It’s a gamble.
