America’s April Fools’ Lottery Is No Laughing Matter

America's April Fools' Lottery Is No Laughing Matter

Many U.S. employers annually circle April 1 on their yearly calendar.  This day marks the first day of filing for a number of work visas.  For a number of years (and most probably this year), that day also marked the day when all of the available visas are going to be exhausted.  Due to the low number of available visas, and the large number of applications, the government resorts to a "lottery" to determine which applications are going to be adjudicated.  Many employers will spend thousands of dollars to prepare an application in an attempt to hire a qualified foreign worker, only to discover that they "lost" the work visa lottery.
