"The draw for H 1B started with 20,000 applicants studying for a master's degree or above in the United States. Applicants with a master's degree or above will be merged into 65,000 ordinary places for a second lottery if they are not selected among the 20,000 places. It can be seen that because there are two opportunities, applicants with a master's degree or above in the United States will be relatively easier to be drawn. "
