The 2025 H-1B second lottery is a process by which the United States government allocates H-1B visas to foreign workers in certain specialty occupations. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign workers to work in the United States for up to six years. The second lottery is held for those who were not selected in the first lottery.
The H-1B visa program is important because it allows U.S. employers to hire highly skilled foreign workers to fill positions that cannot be filled by American workers. The second lottery provides an opportunity for those who were not selected in the first lottery to still be considered for an H-1B visa.
