USCIS announced on August 6, 2024 that it completed the second H-1B cap lottery for fiscal year (FY) 2025 H-1B cap. All employers with selected registrations have been notified. Employers with selected registrations from the second lottery may file an H-1B petition for the beneficiary of a selected registration during the 90-day period from August 8, 2024 to November 7, 2024.
USCIS did not conduct a second selection for the advanced degree exemption (the master’s cap).
USCIS has reported that during the registration period for the FY 2025 H-1B cap, it saw a significant decrease from FY 2024 in the total number of registrations submitted and, more importantly, in the number of eligible registrations submitted, returning the submission rates to FY 2023 levels. This drop was attributed to USCIS’s implementation of a new selection process this year to combat abuse of the H-1B registration process which took place in FY 2024.
