The H-1B Cap Registration period closed on Monday, March 25, 2024, at 12 noon ET. USCIS has announced that it has run the lottery and notifications are being sent to myUSCIS accounts and will continue to be sent for the next few days. USCIS will make an official announcement once all the selection notices have been sent. Those that have been selected in the initial round of selections will have until June 30, 2024, to file their H-1B petitions. USCIS will then evaluate whether another round of selections will be made depending on how many of the 85,000 (65,000 for the Bachelor’s Cap and 20,000 for the U.S. Advanced Degree Cap) H-1B visas have been used. It seems like USCIS is taking a bit longer to send out all the selection notices this year, likely because of enhanced system checks for duplicate beneficiary registrations.
