H-1B lottery: still waiting for the fat lady

The late American baseball player Yogi Berra used to say that "it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings." He meant that because baseball (unlike football, soccer, hockey or basketball) has no game clock, a team can never run out of time. Regardless of how far behind a team is, they still can win so long as they avoid making the third out of an inning. His mentioning a "fat lady" is a reference to opera, the ending of which is signified by a (usually female) opera singer's performance.

I mention this point because this morning, May 2, 2017, a client called me. She was happy because she learned that the H-1B filing fee checks of a co-worker had just been cashed.

Therefore, even though more than a month has passed since the H-1B filing period, one still could have been selected. If you are still waiting, you still might have a chance. For you, the fat lady might not have sung yet.
