Alternative or backup plan for skilled workers who did not get selected in H-1B lottery

For folks or employers who did have a good luck in H-1B lotttery (appears less 25% selection rate this year!), they could consider any of the following or others as a stop-gap or as a permanent solution:

A) O-1A or other work visa (https://www.adhikarilaw.com/work-visa/)

B) Cap-Exempt H-1B positions (https://www.adhikarilaw.com/work-visa/h-visas/cap-exempt-h1b/)

C) F-1 CPT (https://www.adhikarilaw.com/work-visa/training-opportunities-united-states-f-1-m-1-student/)

D) EB-2 NIW I-140/ green card process (https://www.adhikarilaw.com/immigration-employment-family/employment-based-green-cards/eb-2-national-interest-waiver/)

F) Schedule-A Group II?I-140/ Green card process (https://www.adhikarilaw.com/immigration-employment-family/employment-based-green-cards/schedule-a-group-ii-exceptional-ability-in-the-sciences-or-arts-exceptional-ability-in-performing-arts/)

G) Compelling Circumstanes EAD for one with approved I-140 (https://www.adhikarilaw.com/news-and-alerts/legal-alerts/employment-authorization-based-on-approved-i-140-and-compelling-circumstances/)
