In March, USCIS conducted an initial random selection of properly submitted electronic registrations for the fiscal year 2025 H-1B cap, including those eligible for the advanced degree exemption. Petitioners with selected registrations were eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions from April 1 to June 30, 2024. However, additional registrations need to be selected to meet the FY 2025 regular cap numerical allocation. USCIS will soon conduct a second random selection from the previously submitted registrations and notify the selected petitioners. This second selection will include those eligible for both the master’s and regular caps, but no additional selection for the advanced degree exemption will be conducted. Selected petitioners will receive updated selection notices in their USCIS online accounts with filing details.
