USCIS announced on May 2, 2016, that it has completed data entry of all fiscal year 2017 H-1B cap-subject petitions selected in the computer-generated random lottery process. USCIS will now begin returning all H-1B cap-subject petitions that were not selected. Due to the high volume of filings, USCIS is unable to provide a definite time frame for returning these petitions. If your H-1B cap-subject petition is not selected in this year’s USCIS lottery, please refer to our blog on H-1B Alternatives or contact the attorneys at MMHPC.
