USCIS Completes Second Lottery Selection for FY2024 H-1B Cap
On July 31, 2023, USCIS announced that it selected a sufficient number of H-1B registrations projected to reach the cap and has notified all prospective petitioners from this round of lottery selection that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition.
USCIS recently announced the completion of the FY2024 H-1B cap registration process after conducting a second lottery process from registrations received during initial registration period. According to USCIS, due to high demand, additional selections were necessary to reach the cap. Upon selection, an H-1B cap-subject petition must be properly filed at the correct service center and within the filing period indicated on the relevant registration selection notice. The period for filing the H-1B cap-subject petition will be at least 90 days.
As of July 31, 2023, USCIS has randomly chosen 77,600 registrations from the remaining submissions for the FY2024 H-1B cap. These selected registrants have been notified and are eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions for the intended beneficiaries.
This year's registration period saw a notable increase in submissions compared to previous years. Both the number of registrations submitted and the number of beneficiaries represented in these registrations have risen. This trend follows the patterns observed in the FY2022 and FY2023 H-1B registration periods.
