USCIS News: USCIS Will Conduct a Second Random Selection from Previously Submitted FY 2024 H-1B Cap Registrations

USCIS in March 2023 conducted an initial random selection of submitted electronic registrations for the fiscal year (FY) 2024 H-1B cap. Only those petitioners with selected registrations for FY 2024 are eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions. USCIS determined that they would need to select additional registrations to reach the FY 2024 numerical allocations. USCIS will soon be selecting additional registrations from previously submitted electronic registrations using a random selection process. USCIS will then announce once they have completed this second selection process and have notified all prospective petitioners with selected registrations from this round of selection that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition for the beneficiary named in the applicable selected registration. Those with selected registrations will have their myUSCIS accounts updated to include a selection notice, which includes details of when and where to file. Click here for more information
