USCIS Reaches Fiscal-Year 2027 H-1B Cap
USCIS announced that it has received enough H-1B petitions to reach the congressionally mandated cap of 85,000 new H-1B filings for fiscal-year 2027, including 65,000 for the regular cap and 20,000 for the U.S. Master’s cap. As a result, USCIS will conduct no additional lottery rounds.
Statistics should be released soon comparing FY2027 with prior years.
USCIS will likely post non-selection notices to employers’ online MyUSCIS accounts in the coming days. We will keep our clients updated.
We understand the difficulties inherent in not being selected for the lottery and sympathize with any distress or disappointment this result may cause. Weaver Schlenger clients should feel free to contact us with any questions.
