USCIS Completes Lottery

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

USCIS informed us that it conducted the H1B lottery for both the US Masters quota and the H1B general quota yesterday. The USCIS had labeled each of the approximately 163,000 H1b applications received with unique numerical identifiers for purposes of the H1b lottery. The US Masters degree quota was run first (approximately 31,200 cases filed under this classification with only 20,000 slots available). Any H1B applications filed under the US Masters degree quota that were not chosen were then added to the general H-1B quota applications and then the general H1b quota lottery was run.

The USCIS expects that employers will receive receipt notices for all H1B cases that were chosen in the H1b lottery no later than June 2, 2008. Any cases not chosen in the H1B lottery will be returned with the fees to the employer or attorney of record on the case
