What to Do If You Can’t Get an H-1B Visa
Your realistic options. Your backup plan. Your next move.
If your H-1B wasn’t selected, the worst thing you can do is react emotionally.
The smartest thing you can do is understand your actual options.
In this live session, we’ll break down:
What staying in the US realistically looks like
Alternative visa paths worth considering
When another degree makes sense and when it doesn’t
Whether going back home is a setback or a strategy
And then we’ll spend time on something more people are seriously evaluating:
Canada as a structured Plan B.
In collaboration with MobSquad, we’ll discuss:
How the Canadian work permit pathway works for tech professionals
What the timelines actually look like
How some professionals continue working with US companies from Canada
What permanent residency pathways look like long-term
This is not fear-based content.
It’s not “move countries tomorrow.”
It’s a strategic discussion, so you can make a calm, informed decision.
