FY 2016 H-1B Cap Reached

USCIS announced that the FY 2016 cap had been reached. USCIS received nearly 233,000 H-1B petitions between April 1-7, 2015, and on April 13, 2015 it “used a computer-generated random selection process, or lottery, to select enough petitions to meet the 65,000 general-category cap and the 20,000 cap under the advanced degree exemption. USCIS will reject and return all unselected petitions with their filing fees.”
