USCIS Reaches Fiscal Year 2024 H-1B Cap
December 18, 2023
Written by: Marisabel C. Alonso, Esq.
USCIS reached their H-1B Cap for Fiscal Year 2024. USCIS received a sufficient number of petitions needed to reach the congressionally mandated H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, also known as the master’s cap. Registrants who were not selected will receive non-selection notices to registrants through their online accounts in the coming days. After USCIS finishes sending these non-selection notices, the status for properly submitted online registrations which were not selected for the FY2024 H-1B cap will show:
- Not Selected: Not Selected – not eligible to file an H-1B cap petition based on this registration.
USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap. If your registration was not selected in the FY2024 H-1B cap, you can read our post on alternative options to consider. If you would like to consult with one of our attorneys, please fill out our Consultation Request Form.
