USCIS’ Previous H-1B Lottery Instances
The second lottery for H-1B visas in fiscal 2024 is not the first time USCIS has resorted to multiple lotteries. In the previous fiscal year, fiscal 2022, the US held multiple lotteries due to low volumes of visa applications filed by American sponsoring entities. A second lottery was held in July 2021, followed by yet another lottery in November 2021.
Number of Eligible Registrations and Selections for Fiscal 2024 H-1B Cap
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, USCIS received a total of 758,994 eligible registrations for the H-1B cap season. Out of this vast number, USCIS selected 110,791 registrations to fulfill the annual quota of 85,000 H-1B visas.
