FY 2026 H-1B Cap is Reached: USCIS Will Not Conduct Second Round of Lottery

USCIS announced in a News Alert that the FY 2026 H-1B cap has been reached as of July 2025. Because the cap has been reached, USCIS will not conduct a second round of H-1B cap lottery selections in 2025.

The FY 2026 H-1B cap has been reached because USCIS received enough H-1B petitions between April 1, 2025 and June 30, 2025 to meet the 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and 20,000 H-1B visa master’s cap. 

The case status for registrations that were not selected in the FY 2026 cap will be updated from “Submitted” to “Not Selected” in their https://my.uscis.gov/ account.
