As expected, USCIS has received enough electronic registrations to fill the H-1B numerical allocations for FY 2024 (including the master's cap). The electronic registration process, introduced during Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 has reduced paperwork, data exchange, and overall costs for petitioning employers and USCIS. This electronic lottery has resulted in a significant increase in the number of registrations submitted during the FY 2024 H-1B registration period compared to previous years. USCIS saw upward trends in FY 2022 and FY 2023 as well, with the highest registration rates in FY 2024.

If you didn't get selected in the H-1B lottery this year, don't worry! There are other visa options available such as E-2, F-1, O-1, and employment-based options like EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3. Keep exploring your options and reach out to us with any questions!
