H-1B Visa CAP Reached for FY 2015 as of 04/07/2014

As expected, USCIS announced today that the H-1B cap has been reached today, including both the 65,000 regular cap and 20,000 advanced-degree cap.

USCIS will use a random selection process to select H-1B petitions for further processing, picking the winners for the the 20,000 advanced degree cap first before the 65,000 regular cap cases.

The date for the random selection process has not been released yet, but applicants should keep in touch with their attorneys and employers for updates.
