Following the close of the initial filing period for registrations selected for FY 2025 HCap, USCIS has determined that an additional round of selections must be conducted to meet the FY 2025 Regular HCap numerical allocation. The additional selection will not include advanced degree exemption (Master’s Cap) as the number of petitions received during the initial filing period are projected to meet the FY 2025 Master’s Cap numerical allocation.
Although a date has not been set for the second round selections, USCIS will notify petitioners with selected registrants and announce once the second process of selections and notifications has completed. Those with selected registrations will have their USCIS online accounts updated to include a selection notice, which will include details of when and where to file.
Thank you for your continued cooperation as we keep you updated throughout the H-1B registration and filing process for FY 2025.
