Hi I am on OPT now in US. I have been going through H1B lottery in the past 2 years, but didn't get selected. This year is my last chance:-(rj16 said:

Hi all,
Is it normal to have to wait long, me and my spouse took the test on the 8th within the USA. However, the info still says "No candidate result found."
Took the test in Michigan.
EDIT/QUESTION 1: For all who have taken the test in US< the website to check for results is still "https://results.ieltsessentials.com/" ? Is that correct?

I think the results are rolled out over a period of 24 hours, so you should have them by tonight.
In some cases, the results can also get delayed beyond 24 hours, I'm not sure what's the process for that.

Actually in my case, it would have been better if I was in your position. I should have taken this decision few years back. After being on H1 for 7 years, and still possibly having to wait for another 10 years for GC seems like a bad deal. And I'm on EB2 I140 approved.joanatsf2014 said:
My advice to you is you still have time on your side to think about it. Best case scenario, you're looking at 12-15 years to get green card, and having the freedom to work anywhere you want (assuming you're from India/China in EB2). If you chose Canada now, in 5-6 years, you can become a citizen and work in US on TN visa, with whichever employer you want. You also won't need to deal with the headache for H1b application/transfer/extension/amendment and visa stamping.
Good luck.

Where did you see your results? I have been trying and it says no result found. Can you please share the URL? I would really appreciate it.
I haven't got my results yet. It is almost close to a month since I have taken the exam. I spoke to the administrator of the test center, and she was saying that they did not get the scores from British Council to mail the TRF's. Is anyone facing the same issue? I have taken my exam in Kansas City.
I have got this reply from the administrator a week ago.

I got the Sydney Fish Market passage in part 4 as well. It was a bit tricky tbh and I took over 20 minutes to answer its 10 questions. Part 1-3 were actually very straightforward so time management was okay.
I can confirm the T/F/NG by @AlliBatista is correct. For the question regarding what attracts visitors to restaurants, the correct answer was most likely exciting recipes or the three word phrase starting with eight ... in the last paragraph. There is no strong evidence in the passage however. I went with exciting recipes in the end. Only one of my answers could have been incorrect at max, so my bet is on this one.
