We recently blogged about the United States Customs and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) announcement that it would be selecting additional registrations to reach the fiscal year 2025 H-1B regular cap numerical allocation (65,000). Since then, USCIS announced that it has completed the second lottery and now has selected a sufficient number of registrations. Additionally, USCIS has stated that it has notified all prospective petitioners with selected registrations from this round of selection that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition.
If you have not checked your online account, now is the time to see whether you have been selected. Only petitioners with selected registrations may file H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2025, which begins October 1, 2024.
