On July 30th, USCIS determined that not enough H-1B petition filings in the regular cap were submitted during the initial filing period from April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. USCIS will select additional registrations to reach the allotted H-1B numbers and will notify selected registrants through the myUSCIS account. The selection notice will include details of where and when to file the H-1B petition. Note that USCIS will not be conducting a second selection for the advanced degree exemption (the master’s cap), as enough master’s cap registrations were already selected, and sufficient petitions were received based on those registrations as projected to meet the FY 2025 masters cap numerical allocation.

Should you receive a selection notice and need any immigration assistance, please contact an attorney with the Immigration Practice Group at Fox Rothschild to discuss your eligibility.
