H-1B Visa Cap Reached
April 8th, 2013 by SRW Lawyers
USCIS has announced that it has received enough H-1B visa petitions to reach the regular cap for fiscal year 2014. They have also received enough H-1B visa petitions to reach the Master’s degree cap. As result, USCIS will now utilize a lottery to determine which petitions will be selected under both caps. All cap-subject petitions that were received by April 5th, 2013 will be included in the lottery. Any advance degree petitions that are not selected under the Master’s cap will be a part of the random selection process for the regular cap. USCIS is not yet able to announce the date of the lottery due to the large number of petitions received. Once more information is available on the lottery process, we will post this information on our blog.
