WRT to the lottery: it hasn't been so competitive lately: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa#Quotas_and_changes_in...

E.g. (note that the fun begins on April 1):

FY 2009, quota used up in 7 days before beginning the lottery (and as you allude to, this sort of thing used to be the norm).

FY 2010, quota not used up until December 21, 2009.

FY 2011, quota projected to used up right about now.
