U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that the 2015 FY Cap has been reached and it will begin its random selection process by conducting a lottery to determine which petitions will be selected for this year’s H-1B cap.
The H-1B Cap does not affect petitions filed as H-1B extensions or amendments and H-1B petitions filed to change employers. It also does not apply to cap-exempt employers.
