catwoman, you say we are "jealous" of you?  HAHAHA  How much more ignorant can you get?  Why on earth would I be jealous of a new graduate who prolly will make 6 times less than what I make?  Ain't no one jealous of you here...The only hoopla going on here is the fact that you call the people who have a job but NO H-1 as having Bad Luck.  Suprising that this statement comes from someone hoarding an H-1 when it's and ILLEGAL practice to be doing so.  Hell, you could do whatever you want but for me (and you may be a nice person in real life), you used UNFAIR means.  Thats as simple as it can get!!

cham-chum (the name itself tells of the impure thoughts running in that noggin of yours), do I even need to answer your question about staying in status with an H-1:  "I bate you wont be able to find a job in three months period if you were to fired today."  You answer the question itself in your last statement: "and listen folks: "hard-working people do not depend on so called lottery".  Could you quit contradicting yourself and look within for the answers to your very own questions??  BTW, the H-1 has been a lottery for a while now and every person hired in an OPT MUST go through that...So, doesn't everyone DEPEND on the so called lottery, Smarty???
