On May 17, 2019, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it had completed data entry for all FY-2020 H1B cap-subject petitions selected in the H1B lottery [PDF version].

The USCIS will now begin returning all H1B cap-subject petitions that were not selected in the H1B lottery. The USCIS cannot yet provide a definite time frame for returning the unselected H1B petitions. It requests that petitioners wait until receiving a receipt notice or a returned unselected H1B petition before inquiring about the status of their cap-subject petitions. The USCIS will issue an announcement when it has concluded notifying petitioners.

We discuss issues relating to the FY-2020 H1B cap in a separate article [see article]. To learn about the H1B category and related work visa categories generally, please see our website's sections on Work Visas [see category] and AC21 [see category].
