The USCIS has conducted a third round of selections in the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY 2022, filed in March 2021) H-1B Cap lottery. This is a historic first for the USCIS since implementing its new H-1B online registration system in 2019, as it has previously only conducted two rounds of selection.
While there are only 85,000
H-1B cap-subject visas available, over 308,000 registrations were entered into
the selection lottery for FY2022. The USCIS will continue rounds of random
selection until it reaches the 85,000 H-1B quota. The initial selection was
conducted in March 2021, and the second round in July 2021. All selections are
for registrations entered into the FY2022 H-1B cap lottery in March 2021.
Registrations selected in
this latest round will now have a selection notice available on either their
myUSCIS account or their attorney’s myUSCIS account. All H-1B cap petitions
filed based on this third round of selections must be received by the USCIS by
February 23, 2022.
