An applicant on STEM OPT lost their chance to enter the H-1B lottery this year due to an administrative error by their employer’s immigration counsel, Fragomen. The firm admitted to not submitting the H-1B cap registration because of a name entry issue related to the applicant’s passport showing ‘FNU’ (First Name Unknown) with no surname. This incident highlights the importance of confirming registration submissions to avoid similar situations.
Key Details:
- The error occurred during the H-1B cap registration process for FY2024.
- The applicant is currently on STEM OPT and has two more attempts to apply for the H-1B visa.
- The applicant expressed frustration over losing a chance due to this administrative oversight.
