The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Providers (USCIS) lately introduced the Fiscal 12 months 2025 H-1B cap lottery outcomes, revealing a big drop within the variety of registrations—470,342, down 38.6% from 758,994 in FY 2024. This discount is attributed to new USCIS insurance policies aimed toward enhancing program integrity, together with curbing the unusually excessive charge of a number of registrations per particular person final 12 months.
Within the FY2025 H-1B Cap lottery, USCIS chosen 114,017 beneficiaries, leading to 120,603 chosen registrations. Given these numbers, the chance of a second lottery for the FY 2025 H-1B cap seems slim.
