It is not luck dependent, it totally depends upon how you present yourself and how your interview skills are. I saw 2 H1B approvals and some F1 rejections. Be confident, dress well, be loud and clear. University does matter.
Thank you. Hope this helps

I was out of sevis status, Due to 5 month rule
