USCIS Announces that the H-1B Cap for FY2024 Has Been Reached

USCIS has confirmed that they have received a sufficient number of petitions needed to reach the congressionally mandated H-1B Cap (including the U.S. advanced degree exemption or “Master’s” cap) for Fiscal Year 2024.

USCIS will continue to accept and process H-1B cap-exempt petitions, including:

  • Petitions filed for current H-1B workers who have previously been counted against the cap and who retain their cap number;

  • Petitions to extend H-1B status;

  • Petitions to change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;

  • Petitions to allow current H-1B workers to change employers;

  • Petitions to allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in additional H-1B positions.

USCIS will send non-selection notices to cap-subject registrants through their online accounts over the next few days.
