USCIS Announces Second Lottery for FY2025 H-1B Regular Cap

July 30, 2024

The USCIS announced today that they will conduct a second lottery for the Fiscal Year 2025 H-1B regular cap cases "soon."  Weaver Schlenger will notify clients who receive a selection notice in this second round. Employers will then have 90 days in which to prepare and file the H-1B petitions with the USCIS. 

Regular cap cases are those where the employee holds a bachelors degree in a specialized field. The Master's cap was reached, per the USCIS notice. The second lottery for the regular cap will include previously submitted registrations that indicated eligibility for the Master’s cap along with those that indicated only eligibility for the Regular cap.

If you have any questions, please contact your team at Weaver Schlenger.
