FYI: The H1B cap for current year has already been reached

The earliest a person can apply for H1B and start working would be Oct 2018.

Since (s)he graduated from Duke and worked with Google in golang (relatively recent), very likely that (s)he is either on STEM OPT or already have H1b.

Also, that's a very odd use for a throwaway account.
