The Current H-1B Visa Selection Process for the Fiscal Year 2024

Hi William,

My employer registered the H-1B visa regular cap for me. What is the current status of the H-1B visa selection process for the fiscal year 2024?

Answer,

USCIS has received a sufficient number of petitions needed to reach the congressionally mandated 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap, and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption as the master’s cap, for fiscal year 2024.

USCIS will send non-selection notices to registrants through their online accounts. The not selected will not eligible to file an H-1B cap petition based on the registration.

USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the H-1B cap. Petitions filed for current H-1B workers who have been counted previously against the cap, and who still retain their cap number, are exempt from the FY 2024 H-1B cap. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions filed to:

Extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the United States;
Change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;
Allow current H-1B workers to change employers; and
Allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in additional H-1B positions.
