Today, May 4, 2015, USCIS announced that it has completed data entry of all Fiscal Year 2016 H-1B cap-subject petitions that have been selected in the USCIS computer-generated lottery process. USCIS indicates that the agency will now begin returning all H-1B cap-subject petitions that were not selected in the lottery, but the time frame for returning these petitions remains uncertain.
As a reminder, USCIS received nearly 233,000 H-1B petitions during the filing period, with a total of 85,000 H-1B visas available, including the 65,000 general-category cap and the 20,000 master's cap.
