This is a significant increase compared to the previous year&#8217;s registrations, which was 483,927, representing a 60% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The H-1B visa program is designed to allow US employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations that require specialized knowledge and a bachelor&#8217;s degree or higher. The annual H-1B cap determines the number of visas available each fiscal year, with a limit of 85,000. This limit is divided into two categories: 65,000 regular H-1B visas and 20,000 for those with a master&#8217;s degree or higher from a US institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USCIS has already notified the H-1B cap lottery winners, and they have until June 30, 2023, to submit their full H-1B cap petition for adjudication. However, the USCIS has also acknowledged that there may be &#8220;misuse&#8221; of the H-1B cap registration system, and it expects to investigate cases of fraudulent filing of multiple H-1B petitions. Such cases could lead to both civil and criminal penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The online registration system was launched in March 2020, and USCIS will continue to update the H-1B cap winners list. Additional winners may be selected in subsequent rounds until March 2024. USCIS is not expected to notify any H-1B lottery entrants of non-selection until all 85,000 H-1B cap approval notices have been issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the surge in the number of H-1B cap registrations for FY 2024 reflects the ongoing demand for highly skilled foreign workers in the US. The USCIS is committed to ensuring the integrity of the H-1B visa program and will take action against any fraudulent activity. The H-1B cap lottery winners now have until June 30, 2023, to submit their full petitions for adjudication, and additional winners may be selected in subsequent rounds until March 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See below for how many H-1B visa registrations there have been for the past several fiscal years: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"447\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/old.visamadeez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/h1b-caps-fy-2024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.visamadeez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/h1b-caps-fy-2024.png 447w, https:\/\/old.visamadeez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/h1b-caps-fy-2024-300x133.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Josh Dhani<br>Attorney-at-Law<br>VisaMadeEZ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has recently announced that it has received a record number of 758,994 eligible registrations for the H-1B cap season for the fiscal year 2024, which began in March 2023.
