When will the H1B season for fiscal 2016 begin ?
USCIS will accept petitions for H1B Visa 2016 season starting from April 1st, 2015. USCIS did a press release on March 12th outlining the details. Read summary of press release by USCIS on H1B 2016 .
Will there be lottery again for H1B Visa 2016 ? Predictions ?
We had lottery for FY 2015 and FY 2014. The total number of petitions filed for FY 14 were about 125,000 and for FY 2015, there were about 172,500 petitions… As H1B Quota did not increase for FY 2016, and the demand does not seem to decrease, we would very likely have lottery for FY 2016. Read H1B Visa 2016 Lottery Predictions, Dates, Results
What is the H1B Visa quota Cap Count ? Would there be any changes to H1B 2016 count ?
H1B Visa quota cap count is the total number of petitions that USCIS will accept for a fiscal year to provide temporary work permit for highly skilled workers. For the 2016 fiscal year, the cap count is as below :
- Regular H1B Quota : 65,000
- H1B Masters Degree Quota ( only US Degrees) : 20,000
- Out of the above, a total of 6,800 is usually set aside for Singapore and Chile citizens as part of the free trade agreement between them.
As per the press release in March 2015, the quota did not increase. To give some background, as per the Obama executive action in Nov 2014, no changes were announced to the H1B Cap count. There was proposal in 2013 to increase H1B cap from 65,000 to 110,000 and Masters quota to increase from 20,000 to 25,000 did not go through as of March 2015. At least, for this FY 2016 season, the quota is fixed and it will be as above and no changes.
When should I start planning for H1B Visa 2016 ? What are the steps ?
It depends on your situation. Below are few scenarios and your plan.
- If you are a student on F1 Visa in USA, you need to plan for your internship/ CPT or OPT employment at a company that can sponsor your H1B Visa for FY 2016. In my view, you should start now to find something for the fall 2014 and continue that for next spring so that you can file for FY 2016
- If you are in other country and planning for H1B, it is good to start your process around the end of this year 2014. It will give you enough time to find sponsors, search for job, etc.
- If you are on H4, L1 or other visa in USA and planning for H1B for FY 2016, you also should consider looking around end of this year i.e. December 2014.
We have published step by step plan, you can read the article How to plan for H1B Visa 2016 ?Step by Step Guide
Most asked Question – How do I Find H1B Sponsors for FY 2016 ?
This is a million dollar question ! One of the biggest challenges is to find a good sponsor that can offer you a job and wait for you to start work after 6 months of filing your petition. You should review the detail article on How to find H1B Sponsors for FY 2015. Your first place of start is to find the H1B Sponsors in an area or by company. Use our H1B Visa Sponsors Database to search and filter. Read this article on details on how to search in our H1B Sponsor database. We keep the database updated as DOL publishes data. Do NOT share your email or phone number on our website as comments, there are many people do H1B Sponsorship fraud by requesting money using your contact info. RedBus2US.com never provides personal guidance on H1B sponsors or seeks money from anyone, we only display publicly available data on our H1B Sponsors Database page. We DO NOT sponsor H1Bs or guide anyone. Beware of H1B sponsorship Fraud !
What about Comprehensive Immigration Reform ( CIR) – H1B Visa Changes ? What are they ?
There have been some proposed changes to the H1B Visa program to cater to the demand in the US economy as part of the Comprehensive Immigration reform. Below are some of the proposed changes.
- H1B Cap to be increased from 65,000 to 110,000 per year. Also have provisions to have it up to 180,000 in case of extreme demand.
- Advanced degree from US cap quota to increase from 20,000 to 25,000
- The Filing fee for H1B could go up to 10,000 USD
- Additional H1B rules to avoid H1B Visa fraud by employers
- Mandatory LCA posting for 30 days before it is certified.
These were proposed in 2013, but nothing has moved significantly and all the above are just proposed rules. We are not sure when they will be implemented. You can read Summary of CIR – Immigration reform – H1B Visa and Green Card to get an idea. The latest update is that Obama has taken executive action on Immigration in Nov 2014 and none of the below are included as part of that. Stay tuned for updates.
H1B Visa 2016 Fees – Any changes ? How much does it cost ?
There are various components of the fee. The H1B Application filing fee could range anywhere from $1,600 USD to $4,400 depending on the size of the company. The attorney fee can range from $500 to $3000 depending on the attorney. If you apply for premium processing that is another $1,225. The fees has not changed in the past couple of years for FY 2014 and FY 2015. Unless USCIS revises fee based on immigration reform, it should be same. We will keep you all posted. For complete details of the fee by components and break up, read the article H1B Visa Fees and Who Pays for What ?
H4 Visa EAD rule impact on H1B Visa 2016 Season ?
As you know, certain H4 visa holders are now eligible for EAD. The H4 Visa EAD Rule Passed earlier in 2015 and is effective from May 26, 2015. USCIS will start accepting applications for EAD from those eligible H4 visa holders starting from May 26th. The question is that will that have an impact on number of H1B petitions for this fiscal year ? It very likely will have certain impact on the number of H1B applications that are filed for this year 2016 quota. Many of the H4 holders, who would now be eligible for EAD, may not apply for H1B visa, just because it gives them more flexibility to work and more choices to work as well. We would have to wait and see, how much of an impact that would have, but it is very straightforward and no brainer for eligible H4 visa holder to avoid the H1B processing.
H1B visa Premium Processing Changes to H1B Visa 2016 quota ?
USCIS updated in their press release that the premium processing will be accepted for FY 2016 quota and they will only begin that “no later than May 11, 2015”. What it means for the petitioners is that the official 15 day premium processing clock starts from May 11th, 2015 and their petition could be adjudicated within 15 days from May 11th, which would be May 26th, 2015. USCIS can process them earlier as well, but their new timeline is just indication for setting the right expectations to meet the stipulated time frame for premium processing.
Track H1B Visa 2016 Cap Count updates ?
As in previous years, we have created a page, where would track the cap count updates for FY 2016. You may check out H1B visa 2016 Cap Count Tracker.

Any other questions ?
Hello Friends,
Has anyone here filed H1B from the company named “concept software & services inc”? I am awaiting my result. Anyone who got positive response from them yet. I am just curious.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thanks.
Any update from hcl in the last two weeks. ? Most of them I knw in hcl for whom h1 has been processed Haven’t received any update. Did hcl really filed all the petitions ?
True, Even i haven’t heard back any update – however i see some comments in this website from HCL guys saying that they have received the update – receipt number. I am slowly loosing hope as time passes by ..tthis was 3rd attempt from HCL for my h1..
Hey guys.. As far as HCL ..Hope u knw that not all folks nominated for the H1B cap 2015 are actually sent to USCIS.
There is a final priority list that is made before Apr 1 and only those final list of applications are actually sent to USCIS for this year’s quota.
So your application might not even have been part of the lottery process. But HCL will never tell you that. You might think that you lost it in the lottery, when actually you lost the race even before the lottery.
Hi Rithu,
I am from HCL Technologies and I got my lottery selection info from SPOC, In my project out 4 only 1 selected and for others they sent email saying they will update soon. I am from Bangalore. Processed through California center.
At what time was the 4th list released today by TCS ? Any idea how many applications were selected in this list?
Hi Karthik, Are you referring to 3rd list that was released on Friday morning or even the 4th list is released?
I called FDFU guys on Wednesday to know my visa status, they said its awaited.I mailed to them after i got to know that third list is out, but they replied that contact your project management or ISU RMG head. What could be the matter..I am so anxious about it. Can anybody suggest?
Hi Guys,
Did any one of you have filed petition from HTC Global Services?
And any updates from HTC team.
I called them couple of weeks back, and got a rude reply like ‘We will announce the results by mid June or end’. He also told that they are receiving lottery results. I asked them for case number for my petition but he just said we can’t share it.
Looks like they are faking here. Not sure about others who have filed from HTC.
Did you get any mail from HTC saying that you application has been accepted by USCIS and we will keep you updated on the status? In that case, your petition is selected and if not they are waiting till June mid to confirm the lottery result. If you keep asking repeatedly they will reply like what you mentioned. So, lets keep our fingers crossed and wait for 2 more weeks. I too applied through HTC
No mate, I didn’t received any such mail from HTC for that matter they haven’t confirmed either my petition is filed or not.
Yeah you are right lets wait for couple of weeks more time, Anyways they are not gonna tell nothing on the status.
Meanwhile anyone who has got such mails from HTC stating ‘accepted by USCIS’ someone that you know.
Yes. One of my friend received an mail from HTC HR stating that your application has been accepted by USCIS. HTC guys are much better than most of the other consultancy companies in India. If you had signed the agreement of employment they might have processed your petition for sure. All the best
8kmiles – update,
I called them yesterday . They told they will send notification on next week.
Did you talk to Ravi or robin? They got 70+ but they are not revieling.
I talked with Swetha. She told this info.
Same info here too!!! Hope for the best :))
Hi Guys,
My case selected in lottery and waiting for updates from USCIS.
My passport gets expired in Dec-2016.
If in case, my case gets approved?
Does my passport validity affects VISA?
I mean, will it be given only till 2016 as passport gets expired or nothing like that..
Also, Is that recommended to go for renewal of my passport now?
Thanks!
Hi friend,
Mine also same case. my passport expires Nov 2016.
can someone comment on this?
There is no point in this. You will get visa validity irrespective of your passport validity. While traveling to other country only they check passport expiry and you should renew if it has less validity.
You can renew passport within 1 year of validity remaining.
Not a problem. For Indian citizens, the passport must be valid when they enter the US. IF you are coming in October or anytime before expiry, you are good. Instead of putting yourself in chaotic process of visa renewal in India, it is better to get it renewed by Indian Embassy / Consulate in US. They take only 7-10 days without hassle.
If you are coming after passport expiry, then i guess you have to get it renewed from India itself.
I am not pretty sure but I think so. Because, USCIS cannot approve your petition for beyond your passport expiry date as they cannot assume that your passport will get renewed. My opinion as I see logic in this.
Thanks for the reply Buddy.
Yeah, you are making sense. But, as far as I have read on Forums, they approve VISA for 3 years, Is that True?
Also, can u suggest if I can go for Passport Renewal?
Thanks!
You cannot get your (India) passport renewed unless its expiring in less than 6 months. USCIS should issue permit for 3 years, visa may also be for 3 years, but it depends. Once you get your new passport, you can still use the visa in the old passport.
Thanks for the reply Buddy.
Its strange that, we cannot review our passport unless it is less than 6 months of expiry.
I guess u can extend… There must be a provision.. Or if u add spouse detail or some other change, it will be issued fir 10 years again
You can renew ur passport now itself,for me also same problem and i discussed with my attorney they told me to renew and i did same.now i got my new passport with 10year validity.
As i understand by below comments.. CTS, TCS… etc have got 3000+ application approved.. and I understand from CTS or TCS this 3000 candidates may not have client.. after visa is approved, company try to send bodys.
so y this company waste quota. it could be used who is in need now.. not like get stamped and wait for 1 – 2 years to shop them
All these giant companies will not raise h1b just like that. They will gather the requirements in project level, account level, isu level and then they will decide number of h1bs needs to be raised. Unlike the small companies they have lakhs of employees thousands of clients , billion dollar revenue generation so obviously there percetage h1b quota is more. Moreover u vll have to work harder to get your h1b to be raised out of lakhs of employees.
Any thing heard back from collabera?. Are v waiting for just rejection mail or still can v hope for positive update. I don’t see atleast one selected from the viewers of this site infact sme commented as a fake company. How can we get to know whether they really raised or not.
+1
Am also waiting to hear something from collabera
We are gathering information on fake companies/consultancies form various sources, just give update how the entire process and how much u paid etc etc.. So that we will write to uscis with all the necessary proofs. This will definitely help atleast candidates applying for next year
+1, in the same boat.
They keep saying will update in next one week.
15-20 days back, they said that they had filed around 200 & out of them received for around 50.
Is there anyone who had got selected by them? Do employers hide about this for any reason?
Accenture guys any update from last week ? Is there a second batch coming up or not?
No there is no second batch.Try plan B.Its confirmed
🙁 sum1 in the forum mentioned that there is a second batch on Monday 🙁 what is plan B?
Guys, any update form NTT DATA on the second list…
Finally this week is coming to an end. I’m sure Wipro will announce the next batch in the next week – June 1st.
Any approvals for premium processing_ Vermont center?
Any approvals for regular processing application California center?

Any IBMers any luck on H1B. please update
Game Over
Hi, i applied h1b in 2014 and 2015 and no luck:((( my OPT-Ext is about to expire and i am looking for CPT universities. I came across university of Cumberlands in Williamsburg, KY. Is any one going there and is it safe ????also,i heard that the fee is low compared to Harrisburg and Sullivan university.
Hi have not heard of that university but as I see this university is accredited. : gradweb.ucumberlands.edu/story/accreditation
All the best.
I am also in same boat as yours. My OPT expires in Feb 2016. I need CPT atleast for couple months until my company can again file for H1B. This year is my 2nd attempt (regular processing, masters quota) but I am assuming I am not selected.
How come this university issues CPT right away? What program is it?
its masters with cpt program
Any updates from SplendTek today ?
Any idea when they are going to announce the selected list ?
@NK. Seems they already anounced it. I am also waiting 🙂
Any CTS guys receipts got approved?
I mean Approval notice…(Whoever receipt date is 13th Aprl)
Yes mine was approved yesterday
Congratz… what is your receipt date? which center? can you please share first 5 didgits of your receipt number?
premium or regular? which centre?
Non ad regular vermont.
Receipt no: 1514354###
Which website/link you use to see your approval status?
adv non pp, still waiting. this is my last chance. god bless us
Can you please provide update on H1B visas for Tech Mahindra…like how many lists till now received…till which month we can hope of getting H1B visas
Tech Mahindra has finished all lists. If you still don’t receive any information, it is over.
May I know how many lists released till now? What I heard only 1st list got released is this true…help me here please…some friends saying we need to wait till June…bit confused…to keep hope or not.
For TechM they sent all the lists in batches and the results were disclosed to IBG heads. If you haven’t heard anything yet, its likely that the game is over. Mine is the same case! Just need to wait for the rejection email, but nothing.
Again this week also gone. but no result from GIMS(Wipro). Hope some good news in the next week as they earlier mailed me.
I think no news coming in next week too. GIMS just keeping up hopes. Directly we will receive rejection mail 🙁
Hello Friends,
on 9th May 2015 i came to know that i got picked in lottery.
i applied under non AD/regular.
how many days it will take to approve my case from USCIS.
Yet waiting for the update. Didnt find my name in the 3rd list. Any idea how many lists are left to be released?
Hi, Can you please tell me how you have checked if your name is listed or not? Did u approach FDFU or manager informed you?
U can ask PMO. They have the list.
What’s your account name please?
CITIREL
TCS Local FDFU confirmed that my status is awaiting for lottery result even in 3rd list, when we will received 4th slot ?
Karthik, Which location do you belong to?
Looking for when the 4th list will be released, since my name reflects as awaiting lottery result as per 29th May
Chennai
Hi karthik, same is the case with me, not present in the 3rd list as well, can you pls find out if we still have hope. I mean if there are any more lists pending or not?
Hellooo! Did anyone get any notification from BAL?
No updates yet, BAL status is “case filed, Awaiting reply”. Others in your project has got any update?
I heard only from 2 ppl that theirs is selected in lottery and that happened 2 weeks ago, post which I haven’t heard from anyone.
Heard 2 ppl have got selected in lottery which was 2 weeks ago, after which haven’t heard anything from anyone.
Thanks for the update. Do you know whether their petitions were applied at Vermont or California Center?
Thanks
Kumar
Hmm.. Not sure about that.
Below is the email reply from my BAL attorney.
As of today no new notification has been received from USCIS regarding your H-1B Cap petition. Most likely your petition was not selected in the lottery. However, we cannot confirm this until we receive either a receipt notice, or the returned petition filing from USCIS. Once we receive either of these, we will notify you.
I think game over for this year.
🙁 I am into Ford account @ CSC. Heard that last year, almost everyone for whom H1B was applied was picked in the lottery! This year it’s all hush hush.
Any CTS guys received Approval notice? seems other companies started receiving from yesterday….
Keep posted if anyone received the approval notice.
Which account you are from?
LS
Selected in the Lottery as per the report received on 29-May-15 (3rd List)
Which account? Who provided the information?
Is there a time limit for getting passport stamped after getting selected in lottery, if passport is in procedure of getting renewed and not yet received ?
I am not sure if I am 100% correct but there’s no time line once your petition is approved you get it stamped and earliest you can fly is oct-1
u can get it stamped 90 days before ur work status starts.. ie, u cant go for stamping before july 1st week…
Thanks SDF for this info, it means have to passport renewal done by 1st week of July. I am about to submit application next week. I am not yet sure about my lottery results like many others waiting. Next week its going to be the result time for sure. Shall I hold-on or proceed ahead with renewal. I believe should proceed ahead with renewal as even if my good luck and i have picked up in lottery still have time until 1st week of July.
Secondly is there any harm in stamping after 1st week of july ? i understand it will delay the start date. Or is it that it has to be done by 3rd of July – 90 days berfore start date i.e., 1st of Oct 2015 else approval stands invalid.
TCS guys,
The list is prepared by VISA Cell. The lsit will be in a interval of 7 days to 14 days. Lists will keep coming till September end.
If you are selected, you will get the information at the max by June mid-end. After that the list will be updated with the rejected petitions and approval/RFE status.
To know the information,
1. Your ISU/account PMO will have all information as and when the list is released. Your manager/you can request for the information.
2. Drop a mail to the location FDFU. They should definitely reply with the status.
Good luck all!!!!
Any updates from Infosys? I am still waiting for the receipt number…..
same me too
GI people told me to wait till June second week. They will upload all results by that time.
For all those who are eagerly waiting for next set of results , it is going to be released no sooner that 1st June . So relax for the next three days , keep your self calm and have a happy weekend ! Enquire your status on Monday by emailing your local FDFU . Good luck !
TCS’ers,
Next set of results have been published an hour back.. Its with the FDFU.. Please contact them through email or directly.. I just spoke to ChennaiOne FDFU but unfortunately again my name is not there in the 3rd set as well..
Also confirmed with FDFU that almost 2000 petitions from TCS have been selected in lott this year and so far they have received received results only for 1400 petitions, including todays set.. This is likely a confirmed news..
If you have any doubt, approach your local FDFU..
Do you mean to say overall selected is around 2000 ? If it is so , it is less than 20% as TCS might have filed around 9 k petitions . I guess it should be around 3500-4200 . I could see good selection rate from already recieved results..
Why H1b program is needed, out of 58K selected application through out the world. 3.5K Taken from TCS which is around 6%. This is not fare.
There should be cut off for each company. and more preference should be given to product company.
So I take it that you are not from TCS and that you work for a product based company. I am from neither. And everyone knows that the program is unfair. You want your company to be given more preference. That is not how it works. Stop cribbing about what is fair and what is not. It is what it is. Accept it before you apply or just simply don’t apply.
I am not the original poster. I am against preference for any company, be it a service company or product based. However, there really is a need for a max number of petitions that a company can apply for each year. That point is very valid. One company hogging like 5% of all VISAs is not fair.
No doubt TCS has filed 9000+ this year.. But many petitions din’t even reach the lottery system.. I can confirm that in my ISU approx more than 50% of ppl I knew dint go through and for another ISU, more than 70% of ppl known to my friend din’t reach lottery.. so even if 2000 set selected from approx 7000 is still decent.. For me, I just want to be in that 2000 list.. That is what I care the most 🙂
I don’t understand these fdfu guys.Once i called them and asked my status they said that it is awaited. Now when i heard of that third list is out, i mailed then and they replied that contact your ISU RMG head or project management about it. Does it mean its not selected in lottery. I don’t know why are they creating so much mess.
Anybody from CTS received receipts in this week?
I would say unofficially its over buddy in CTS..now we need to wait for the rejection notices…specially visited this site to know if anyone received any communication from git …but people are still asking whether anyone got receipts
Hello Friends,
on 9th May 2015 i came to know that i got picked in lottery.
i applied under non AD/regular.
how many days it will take to approve my case from USCIS.
Anyone who has received the H1B receipt notice from GCB Services?
Folks,
All MNCs hold the list based on their convenience. Hence, many names will still appear selected and should wait till end of next week.
However let’s move on and apply next time or choose other options.
Cheers
Did anybody received updates from anginfotech/ez2techonlogies about lottery results?
Infy guys is there a slightest hope anymore ???? or is it all done :`(
Update from GI team
“As soon as we get an update from the USCIS on your petition status, GI Team will update the AIMS status on priority. • If your petition is selected in the lottery, at least it will take 3-4 weeks to upload the scanned copy on AIMS. • If your petition is rejected in the lottery then AIMS will be updated on real time. Hence we request not to follow up with the GI team on the lottery status and AIMS system update. Note: GI team will not be able to speed up the USCIS ETA and have to wait until they provide an update. We appreciate your patience.”
Thanks :`),,hope to get a good news,,,really do

Hi ,
What should be the plan -B apart from marrying a USA Girl 🙂
oh my god… loser again … already got married.
Any Non-AD/RP/Vermont guys still waiting? No news on whether I got selected in the lottery or not. Should I still hope? 🙁
Yes, its over now. better luck next time
For me too its over. Was is US on H4. Planning to go back to India in next 2 months.
Hi All,
I have applied for H1b from a small consultancy in US. They are telling me that, they are receiving both selected and rejected petitions. Mine is not there in both list as of now. They are expecting few more selected and rejected list by tomorrow. I am eagerly waiting!
Anybody on the same boat applied through Indian consultancy?
Me…. !!!
May i know which consultancy?
Whats the update you are getting from them?
Kekarooong Mekaroong Company!!
Mine consultancy told that few cheques are encashed and they are waiting for the receipts and will update by june 1st week if mine is selected or not
In the same boat. Does anyone from Capgemini got any information?
Anyone Non-AD/RP/CA staying CA got selected?
No point waiting for rejection notice , it probably is on the way ..
Forget , applying for Phd . My working days are over , let the fun times begin 😀
Forget about H1B**
If you haven’t heard anything and aren’t from an MNC with a weird internal notification process, it’s over. I didn’t get selected, probably because I have a chode.
any updates?
I got picked in lottery, and got receipt num on may 12th.. so can anyone tell me how many days it take to approve my h1b
for me receipt date was 28th April, still waiting for approval.
This time total number of visas to Indian IT folks are less. Almost 90% results announced and very little hope left. Companies on an average got just 20% to 25% visa petitions as compared to 38% to 43% last year.
More visa applications for L1B and L1A are expected for fulfilling resource requirements.
65/213000 = 30.5%
What do you expect!!
Hi All,
I hardly see any updates from infy guys, I know couple of folks who have been picked up in lottery from Infy, but they are just 2 or 3 cases, This is second attempt for me, still no updates, I think it is over for me, Is there at least 1% hope for Infy People still left?? or it is over??

Shiva Plzz help me…
Hello
I’ve finally received an update from the team that my h1 is selected in lottery. This is my second attempt and got lucky this time around.
I’ve just been hearing update from TCS, Wipro, IBM, Accenture and so many other companies but no such update from capgemini.
This is for all the capgemini awaiting folks.
I hope this helps.
