I got rejected from the lottery once! It was a while ago, at that time I had about 40% chance to "win" it.

I suppose folks from India and China make up the bulk of the applicants, and a high percentage of the people who end up getting the visas.

My life could have been completely different if I did get an H-1B. Oh for the path not taken.

I hope there is someone who received it in my stead, who now is wonderfully happy and successful in the US.
