Second lottery round for H-1B applicants to be conducted this year: U.S. immigration service
The HinduA second round of random lottery selection for the much sought-after H-1B visas for 2024 will soon begin after “additional registrations” were found to be needed to achieve the numerical allocations for the fiscal year, the U.S. federal immigration agency has announced. In March, the USCIS conducted an initial random selection of properly submitted electronic registrations for the fiscal year 2024 H-1B cap, including for beneficiaries eligible for the advanced degree exemption. Soon, we will select additional registrations from previously submitted electronic registrations using a random selection process,” the USCIS said in a statement. “We will announce once we have completed this second selection process and have notified all prospective petitioners with selected registrations from this round of selection that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition for the beneficiary named in the applicable selected registration,” the statement said.
