My H1B registration was selected in the first lottery, but my employer lost the project and did not file a petition for me. Now that the second lottery has taken place, if my employer has a project for me, can the H1B petition now be filed?

Answer

Assuming that your registration’s filing deadline has passed – and virtually all of the initial registrations had a filing deadline of June 30, 2020 – it generally would not be possible to file the case now. (20.Aug.2020)
