USCIS has announced that the FY2024 H-1B cap-subject lottery is complete. They have not released news regarding registration numbers and data, however those selected to submit complete petitions have been notified.
Currently, it is predicted that between 550,000 and 600,000 electronic registrations were filed. These are record numbers, continuing the trend which accelerated with the new two-step registration process. While high competition may cause would-be H-1B applicants to explore other options, demand for H-1B cap-subject visas is likely to continue to spike due to demand for highly skilled workers in STEM industries and consulting firms.
If your registration, or if your employee or client’s registration was selected, you have 90 days to file a complete H-1B petition. Don’t wait! We have seen up to three rounds of Requests for Evidence before visa approval, delaying employee start dates and interrupting sponsor workflow.
Before you file, let us review your case to identify any weaknesses or red flags before USCIS does. Visit www.ccifree.com for a free review of your case. We will respond in 4 hours or less.
