USCIS Will Select a Second Round of H-1B Cap Registrations

The USCIS has announced in a News Alert that it will select a second round of H-1B registrations in the Fiscal Year 2025 H-1B Cap lottery (FY 2025 refers to CAP registrations filed in March 2024).

The second round of selections indicates that not enough H-1B petitions were submitted between April 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024 to meet the total 85,000 H-1B CAP. In its News Alert, USCIS clarified that it will not be conducting a second selection for the advanced degree exemption (the master’s cap), as enough master’s cap petitions were received to meet the 20,000 FY 2025 masters cap. The second round of selection will therefore include both master’s and regular cap registrations.

USCIS will announce once the second-round selection process is completed. Those with selected second-round registrations will receive a selection notice in their https://my.uscis.gov/ account, which includes details of when and where to file.
