H-1B visa lottery starts next week.


Palak Jayswal, "The H-1B visa lottery starts next week. Here’s why some experts say the process makes it hard to hire international talent." Salt Lake Tribune, Feb. 28, 2023.  https://www.sltrib.com/news/2023/02/28/utah-works-recruit-international/

Bashir lived through the struggles of the immigration process for the next decade of his life, he said. Some of that involved his religious background, he said, without providing details. Eventually, after a law firm filed for a H-1B visa for him, he got his green card 10 years later.

“Pretty much lived in libraries, slept in my car, anything that you can see from that textbook immigrant struggle,” Bashir said, looking back. “[I was] making sure my family didn’t know what I was going through.”
