We read about an H-1B candidate being deceived, delayed, and betrayed by their employers every other day.  His final attempt to obtain a work permit this year ended similarly for an OPT technician in the United States.  This year, an immigration engineer said, his employer guaranteed him an H1B sponsorship.  However, he received a cold email from his company rescinding their pledge without providing an explanation just before the march 24 H1B lottery deadline.
 
Three other members of their engineering team suffered the same fate after the firm deceived that one individual.  Their options are now limited as their STEM OPT term comes to a close.  It is almost tough to find a new company who will sponsor an H1B at this time. Should the techie choose to go back to school, they would have to pay exorbitant tuition costs and may end up in debt.

Many H1B techies still have to deal with this harsh reality despite years of education, employment, and service.  It's also not uncommon.  Companies have ghosted employees in the past, keeping them on until it was too late to take action.  Some say referrals were the only way they were able to locate sponsors at the last minute.  For H1B applicants, networking may therefore be crucial, but this is not guaranteed.  The fact that you can never rely on an employer's word is one thing that is becoming increasingly obvious.  Nothing is guaranteed in the US job market, so always have a fallback plan.
