U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has received a sufficient number of petitions needed to reach the congressionally mandated 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master\u2019s cap, for fiscal year 2022.<\/p>\n
We have completed sending non-selection notifications to registrants\u2019 online accounts. The status for registrations properly submitted for the fiscal year 2022 H-1B numerical allocations, but that were not selected, will now show:<\/p>\n
Not Selected: Not selected\u2014not eligible to file an H-1B cap petition based on this registration.<\/p>\n
We will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap. Petitions filed for current H-1B workers who have been counted previously against the cap, and who still retain their cap number, are exempt from the FY 2022 H-1B cap. We will continue to accept and process petitions filed to:<\/p>\n
Extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the United States;<\/p>\n
Change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;<\/p>\n
Allow current H-1B workers to change employers; and<\/p>\n
Allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in additional H-1B positions.<\/p>\n
U.S. businesses use the\u00a0H-1B program\u00a0to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. We encourage H-1B petitioners to subscribe to the H-1B cap season email updates located on the\u00a0H-1B Cap Season\u00a0page.
