From a purely career-planning perspective, relying on H1B is risky. The lottery system, political swings, and frequent policy changes make it too unstable to count on as a long-term plan. Many workers spend years in limbo, unsure if they’ll stay or be forced to leave. For ambitious professionals, it’s smarter to have backup strategies: - Consider Canada, Australia, or the EU, which have more predictable immigration systems. - Explore remote-first careers where location is less critical. - Treat the U.S. as an opportunity, not a guarantee. That said, if someone does win the H1B, it can still be life-changing. But betting your entire future solely on it? Not wise.

Answered for the Question: "With the uncertainty around H1B Visa policies every few years, is it wise for foreign workers to rely on it for their career planning, or should they look for more stable options?"
