That's it for this year. No more H-1B cap-subject petitions will be accepted for FY2016, according to USCIS.
Today, the immigration agency announced that it has already received more than enough H-1B petitions for the next fiscal year, which begins on October 1, 2015. As of April 7, 2015 - the last receipt date - USCIS had received more than the annual limits of 65,000 H-1B petitions for regular cap and 20,000 H-1B petitions for U.S. advanced degree cap respectively. To meet the annual visa quota, USCIS will use a random selection process to select a portion of cases for further processing based on the visa cap. The selection process will only happen after the agency has a chance to complete the intake process. Stay tune for further updates. (It is important to note that applicants may still submit non-cap H-1B cases now such as extension petitions and amendments. )
