U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced both the federally mandated H-1B visa regular cap and master’s cap had been reached for fiscal year 2025. This means the agency will not be selecting additional registrations entered into the lottery earlier this year.
Key Points:
Additional Information: USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions otherwise exempt from the cap. Such petitions include those filed for current H-1B workers to extend the time they may remain in the U.S., change their terms of employment, allow them to change employers or allow them to work concurrently in additional H-1B positions.
