An H-1B lottery winner faced a huge setback when their celebrations ended in disappointment. Their lawyer claimed that the government account had been deleted due to inactivity, demanding extra fees to restore it. This unusual explanation raised immediate doubts.
Lawyer’s Claim and Reality
Experts quickly dismissed the lawyer’s claim, explaining that the real issue was missing the petition filing deadline. For H-1B, the filing cut-off is usually 30th June. Without submitting the petition, simply winning the lottery holds no value.
Consequences of Missing the Deadline
Now, the applicant must wait an entire year to try again in the next H-1B lottery. Filing the petition is the attorney’s responsibility, making this a serious lapse. Such oversights can put the applicant’s immigration plans at risk.
Negligence and Accountability
Other applicants are questioning how the lawyer could overlook such a basic requirement. This mistake has delayed the applicant’s process for more than a year. Without accountability, similar incidents are likely to continue in the future.
Applicant’s Growing Burden
Applicants are forced to not only trust but also monitor their lawyers, adding unnecessary stress. This situation reflects a deeper flaw in immigration services that urgently needs attention. Until fixed, many applicants remain vulnerable to such careless errors.
