On April 1, 2024, US Citizenship & Immigration Services announced the results of the FY2025 H-1B lottery:  more than 120,000 registrations were selected to meet the H-1B cap for the upcoming fiscal year beginning October 1.  Registrants who were selected were required to submit H-1B petitions to USCIS by June 30.

As widely anticipated, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced yesterday that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to meet both the regular cap (65,000) and the advanced degree cap (20,000) for Fiscal Year 2015.  USCIS received a total of 172,500 petitions during the FY2015 filing window, which ran through the first five business days of April.
