United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received a sufficient number of petitions to reach the congressionally mandated cap for H-1B visas for the 2023 fiscal year. The agency will not conduct a second H-1B registration lottery.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: USCIS’s announcement confirms that there will not be a second FY 2023 lottery. The agency received a record number of registrations in March, a sign of the ongoing popularity of the H-1B program and the high demand for a limited number of visas. BAL will continue to follow developments related to the H-1B program and will provide updates as information becomes available.
