H1B Visa – Jupiter Transit & Combinations for Foreign Settlement

The H1B visa has once again come into the headlines due to certain regulatory changes proposed during Donald Trump’s regime. As discussed in our previous article https://consultlunarastro.com/2025/12/13/secrets-of-transits-indias-changing-guidelines-for-ai/ on how Jupiter’s transit in Gemini is clearly reflecting changes in how approvals, paperwork, and legal permissions are being processed but many people are anxious about their visa outcomes as for thousands of professionals, especially those in technology and research-driven fields, the uncertainty around visa approvals has created anxiety and prolonged waiting periods but it is all reflection of sky on paper.

On our Consultation panel most people come up with these queries “Will I get my visa?” or “Will I settle in Abroad” as we know how fascinated our people are for settling in countries like the USA & Canada. Most who ask this question are already trapped in the system files submitted, interviews completed, employers waiting, and yet approvals remain pending. But before any conclusion for this one has to check if the chart is promising, foreign settlement or is the visa merely a temporary phase? As it is a complete shift of residence, lifestyle, emotional roots, and long-term direction. It is important to see the promising strength in the natal chart itself before jumping to transits. 

Foreign Settlement – Role of the 12th House :

In Vedic astrology, the 12th house governs foreign lands, isolation from birthplace, long-term stays away from homeland, and life in distant cultures. Without a strong and repeated activation of the 12th house, foreign settlement remains unstable or short-lived.

One of the most powerful indicators is the Lagna lord in connection with the 12th house. When the Lagna lord is placed in the 12th house, the native’s life path itself shifts away from their place of birth. Such individuals often feel a natural pull toward foreign environments and adapt easily to life abroad. Even if the Lagna lord is not directly placed in the 12th house, its placement in the 12th Navamsha produces a similar internal detachment, indicating that the soul-level journey of the native unfolds away from their homeland.

Equally important is the 4th house, which represents home, emotional security, roots and motherland. For long-term foreign settlement, the 4th lord should be placed in the 12th house or should be going in 12th Navamsha. Such placements indicate that comfort and emotional stability are found away from the place of birth, often in foreign lands. 

The influence of Rahu adds another layer to this narrative. Rahu is the planet of displacement, unconventional paths, and life in unfamiliar territories. When Rahu connects with the 4th house or the 12th house, it intensifies the native’s desire to break away from traditional roots and explore life abroad. Rahu often brings sudden opportunities, unexpected visa approvals, overseas job offers or relocations but it also ensures that the journey feels karmic and transformative rather than purely comfortable.

Role of Dasha in getting approval for Visa :

Even when all the above combinations exist in the chart yet events do not manifest unless they are supported by the running Dasha. Dasha is the timing mechanism of astrology and without its activation, even the strongest promises remain dormant.

For visa approval and foreign movement, the Dasha or Antardasha must connect with the 9th house or its lord. The 9th house governs long-distance travel, fortune, legal permissions, and divine support. When the 9th lord becomes active, opportunities related to international movement begin to open up, often with the right support at the right time.

This becomes even more precise when examined through the D4 (Chaturthamsa) chart, which specifically deals with residence, settlement, and property matters. A strong Dasha connection with the 9th lord or benefic aspects to it in the D4 chart significantly increases the likelihood of visa approval and relocation.

Another essential layer is the activation of the 6th and 12th houses during the running Dasha. The 6th house represents legal procedures, bureaucracy, and obstacles, as well as the paper work of your home, 3rd from 4th, while the 12th house signifies foreign residence. Visa processes are inherently legal and procedural, and when these houses are active, the native is naturally drawn into documentation cycles, compliance requirements, and official scrutiny.

Impact of Jupiter Transit on H1B Visa :

Among all transits, Jupiter’s movement plays the most decisive role in visa approvals. Jupiter represents validation and legal sanction. During the consultation we have observed this pattern of Jupiter in visa approvals often coincide with Jupiter activating the 3rd house through transit with direct aspect or conjunction.

The 3rd house governs paperwork, communication, applications, and documentation. When Jupiter transits the 3rd house, aspects it, or connects with its lord, documents receive legitimacy and authority. Jupiter’s association with Mercury, the natural significator of documentation, further strengthens this effect.

Classics explain that when Jupiter transits in the 3rd house or makes connection with the 3rd house “one’s name will get published.” In another context, this can be understood as appearing on approval lists, official letters, visa stamps, and legal documents receiving final clearance. It depends on how the connection is being made in the overall chart. The exact nature of the outcome, whether smooth or delayed, depends on how strongly Jupiter is supported in the chart.

 

Why Do Some People Return After Getting a Visa or Short Stay?

A common and confusing pattern is observed when individuals receive their visa, relocate abroad but return to their native country after a short period. This occurs when in transit the activation of the 2nd house or 4th house happens. 

2nd House representing family, values, and roots, becomes active, the native often feels a pull toward their place of origin. Similarly, when the 4th lord or 4th Navamsha gets activated, this often brings family responsibilities, property matters, or emotional restlessness, making long-term settlement abroad difficult. But it depends on how strongly this is making connections in the chart.
