- If you don’t have it
- you can write: ‘I don’t know the exact number, but I was informed not being selected. I can show screenshots of the notification email from my employer.’
- you will probably get an email from the lawyer asking you to provide some proofs
- Proof: any email/screenshot from HR/Lawyer said you didn’t selected or still has submitted status would work
- If you don’t have it
- Payment Page

05/06 - We are pleased to announce that our group will start a lawsuit against USCIS regarding the unfair H-1B lottery for Fiscal Year 2022.
Charles Kuck, Greg Siskind and Jeff Joseph will represent us in court. All of them have extensive litigation experience against various federal agencies that violate immigration laws. Recently, they represented plaintiffs in cases involving extreme delays in the handling of the Diversity Visa, the O-1 visa and the EB-5 investor visa. They have a track record of delivering results for plaintiffs in high-profile cases.
- 04/14 - We met the lawyer to go through our argument. The lawyer said he is interested in our case and will get back to us after some prep works.

04/13 - Senator Grassley(R-IA), Brown(D-OH), Sanders(I-VT), and Blumenthal(D-CT) were the co-sponsor of the H-1B Reform Act, and we would like to send a letter to all of them.
📢 We are looking for someone lives in either CT or VT to send the letter - please email us if you are interested in.
- 04/09 - The letter was successfully sent to Senator Durbin’s office in D.C. with about 1000 co-signers.
-
04/06 - While waiting for the reply from lawyers, we drafted a letter to Senator Durbin (D-IL) and is seeking his support and help in combating H-1B abuse.
Senator Durbin is the current chair of Senate Judiciary Committee. For 10+ years, he and Senator Grassley (R-IA) have worked on exposing the failings of the H-1B visa, and the reform of H-1B visa. Now we’re looking for co-signers. Please fill out this survey if you are interested in joining us: https://forms.gle/1METb5vwucJCkYS96
