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.

My attorney finally informed me that she received my rejection package today. At least I don’t need to wait any longer. Good luck to you all.
Guys,
Its seems all the MNC’s in India is not revealing the facts about H1B since past 4 weeks….i don’t think much options left now..except show them our importance…so be prepared with backup plan and show them as soon as you get any update…All the best!
there is a lot of workforce in INDIA. Even if you leave , another cheap labour joins ur place. don’t worry and better leave now
Don’t worry, big company would have dealed with thousands of employee like u from many years
Y can’t you start a company dude.
Rejection packet received .
All the best to everyone else .
Not sure if any one has got receipt or rejection information from 8kmiles
No bro
I think no one got selected in 8kmiles…so please start demanding the money now its already too late..
I remember they said , in case not selected.. money refund will be initiated from mid of Aug..
No update. They said they will reveal on jun30th
Hi Can anyone plz advise me on below USCIS comments:
Request for Additional Evidence Notice Was Mailed
It means that USCIS needs more information to adjudicate your petition. They would have send what they require to your employer or the attorney. Please check with them.
:{}}}}}
I just wrote a app to monitor, case status, on my recipt number and send me notification if case status gets changed.. but i was sending too many request to uscis site for data extraction, they blocked my IP.. will it be a problem for me..
Yes, they will take your data using IP, then they will sell for million dollars..
Gr8 idea & you proved that you deserve H1B :-)….
I guess why don’t you reduce the frequency of checking the status to 1 hrs…or check with uscis if they have any rest api exposed already..
You can download for free this kind of app on Play Store or Apple Store. They keep tracking your Receipt number every hour.
Why do you need any app in first place. Login to USCIS site, add your case and register your e-mail and mobile number and you will get the status on your mobile & email whenever it is approved.
Kudos! I hope I was lucky enough to get motivated for writing such an app.?
I am worried about admin processing at consulate in Delhi . What are the main reasons they put application under admin processing ????
Waiting for receipt still no update….How many days in worst case will it take to know the result . Please suggest.
I heard (and i’m not sure about how true this is) that it might be as long as end of july before they complete this process.
H1 picked in lottery. Got the receipt notice on 23rd April but still waiting for the approval. Wondering if we should upgrade the case to Premium. This wait is so tiring. Hope it gets approved soon.
When USCIS will complete the returning the unselected petitions, any idea ?.
Hi Jacks,
How are you guys, Its been a month or more long that I checked this website considering the rejection as a result, coz its too late to hear a fruitful news 😉
I received a reject notice today from the USCIS, which was dated 19-june 2015. So see you guys next year. All the ones who cleared this pressure, congrats and all the best. The ones in waiting period, hold patience if you can or work on your alternatives, coz its already late. The ones like me who aren’t picked up in the lottery, “easy! we’ll kill it next year” 😉 okay!
Thumps up for now!! bye! 🙂
Got receipt number on 18th May and approved on 24th June.
Receipt# EAC151475****
Congrats buddy!!!!..enjoy..I got my receipt number on 15th May,Still waiting..
do you realize what you and your uncle are doing is hurting the chances for a proper immigration reform. Its because of people like you Indians have a bad name. Stop feeling proud for being a fraud!
Mine is premium processing. Got RFE on May 7th, got approved on June 17th.
Y did it took so long if its was PP
Hi Vicky,
your from Neumeric Technologies.Please let me know.
can u pls share why the RFE is for and how its resolved
Mine was PP/ CA / Non adv but up till now no communication from USCIS. Also the checks have not been cashed. What is the probability? Please advise. I have a strong gut feeling that it’s a rejection but at the same time why didn’t we receive the package yet……….
Sorry. You are not selected in the lottery. This is the only option I can assume now.
H1/RP – Approved on 06/24
Today I got my Case Status update as
“On June 24, 2015, we approved your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number EAC15143XXXXX. We will mail your approval notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice.”
Hey,
Can you tell us your series no which is approved yesterday ?
Congrats..Please share receipt received date
Just got my returning package. 2nd attempt, no luck. Non-AD / CA.
Any approvals for H1B recently?plz do update..its been under review since 2 months
Haven’t Received anything yet about H1B,and got accepted for Masters for fall.Now Going to request new I-20!
People are saying that without receiving lottery receipt,they find out they recently got approved.I am not sure if USCIS is still entering data.
Hope I will get approval notice too.
I never received any receipt notice, neither my employer nor attorney. So was totally in an assumption that my petition is rejected, and was waiting for rejection packet. But received the approval notice today. Very surprising. My case number is WAC-15-140-XXXXX. Receipt Date 21st April, Notice Date 18th June. Got notice by email on 22nd June.
PP?
do you know when your check has been cased?
Please provide some more info so it would be helpful for others.
was it under Premium Processing or Regular Processing
I don’t have any idea when check encached. I was RD/rp.
did your checks got cashed? same situation here but checks not cashed to date.
For those of you didn’t get picked or the check still hasn’t be en cashed yet, try to go for the back-up plan now. Its never say never, you might be still get the receipt soon, but the chance is getting smaller and smaller as days gone by. The lottery system is totally random, it’s not going to be end of the world if you hasn’t get selected. You have went through a lot to get to this stage, you must have some kind of talent to move on the second plan. I personally still waiting on the receipt, but waiting doesn’t help anything. I moved on and feel way better now than just sit here and wait. For those of you get selected, congrats! For those of you that still waiting on the receipt, good luck and keep moving on.
What does the below status mean on the USCIS site
“Case Was Approved And My Decision Was Emailed”
You are rejected and u need to try next year.. they have sent you email.. plz read it..
Well said Admin!
Oh really … did that reply impress you so much 🙂
Cool baby … it is not mine. I was checking the receipts randomly and saw this status which I did not see before for any of the other approved ones. So calm down…
Only for PP, USCIS will mail the approval document. So the status.
My Receipt Number EAC151485xxx , Any one Receipt Approved with this sequence ?
Pls update
Latest status in USCIS site shows as –
On April 20, 2015, we received your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number EAC1513****** , and emailed you a receipt notice. It is being processed at our Vermont Service Center location. The notice describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
It’s been more than 2 months, no update in site nor from the employer. This is submitted with premium request.
Very confused.
Any fellows on same boat??
@SPM,
I am in same boat, who is your employer.
Mine is SplendTek.
If yours is premium, your employer can submit a case inquiry on uscic site.. Of course, if they r willing to do that…
This is from Immigration Girl’s Blog : A very very small ray of hope …

Hi Emily,
An update… I got receipt number. It says: “on April 13 we received your I-129 and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. If you don’t receive your receipt notice by May 13….” Well looks like I have to call.
Emily, does it mean I was selected? Maybe it is slow because I chose regular processing but I should receive this receipt anyway…

For others checking their H1B visa… There is still a chance! I found out today morning and it is almost end of June! My center was Vermont and regular processing.
Filing a petition to ban Infosys, TCS and Fake Indian Consultants in India who sends and petition for mass indians with zero qualification.
Most Students from India only who studies here in USA and invest time and money here and work on work permit are thrown in the same pool of people in india– who are doing nothing just finding these consulting companies and getting their h1b filled. This is the most unfair to students studying in America on work permit from all over the world. 60% who comes on h1 b visa from India are not qualified enough. Though 40% is the intelligent but still there are some free riders who take the privilege of other intelligent person in America. Petitioning to set aside 65000 Visa for Students in America as everyone would be surprised to know there is heck lots of students from india coming to study. USCIS need to increase this upper limit for students and then 20,000 for rest of the world and it should limit by countries. Making broken h1b visa fixed!
Very generic comment you have made dude. World is being run by IT Professionals in India and they deserve the H1B more than anything.
What if I say that only 20% intelligent people go for masters from India, rest all mediocre people manage to reach their on the basis of money? But I am not narrow minded like you.
Think before you post something and don’t generalize things with you biased views.
Majority of IT consultants are brought to US to work as “cheap labor”. Google Infosys+TCS+Edison Power, you would know. They laid off all their american workers because they had to pay them $90K per year and benefits (shares, health insurance, 401 K) on top of that. For IT consultants from India, they pay $60k or $65k without no benefits.
I work in a signal processing firms which outsources a lot of IT specialist from India. I know couple of them who are in US for past 3-5 years. All of them get $85,000-$87,000 annually after 2-3 years of experience in India and 3-4 years of onsite experience in US. Whereas our company provides starting pay of at least $80,000 to a fresh MS graduate with no industrial experience and annual hike varies from 4-6 %.
Moreover they have applied for Green Card for only 1-2 people from the group of contractors who have been here for 3-4 years. Whereas in our case, they apply for Green Card as soon as you move to H-1B, given you have spent 1 year in company.
PS: I am not an IT Engineer, I specialize in Antenna Design and Signal Processing.
Sorry to say this bro….You are unfit for h1b as well as AD..
just because you studied in a US university, does it mean u are above average ? i know the quality of students who get admission in US universities.. most of them have IQ at very average level.. and most of them do BE only through money, not on merit.. a guy studied in IIT/REC has much better knowledge than these guys… still, u get 20K special Quota.. if u cant survive outside US even after studying so much, im so pity on you…
Do you know how many IIT toppers go to US? This was a popular question at Quora, google it. Almost all IIT JEE entrance topper from 2000-2012ish are in US.
What you must realize is just like India has IIT and at the same time 2-3 year old local colleges, US is similar. There are top universities as well as mediocre universities. Recently one of my friend from IIT-Delhi, CGPA 9.6, IIT-JEE AIR- 134 joined Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) for direct PhD. He left a job offer of 28 Lacs Indian Rupees/PA in Bangalore just for his passion.
How can you be sadistic about Indian students going to US? How many IIT/NIT toppers you personally know? All of them don’t go to fake colleges. I worked in Amazon India for 1 year, I had good pay but came here because i wanted to learn more about cloud computing and computer vision. I have done some cloud computing stuff at Amazon but computer vision and machine learning is not much studied areas in India.
AND I came here full funded! And yes, I met a lot of fellow NIT and also IIT students at Purdue.
If quality of students in US university is low, why US is far technically advanced than India? Why India triumphs over HAL Tejas, technology with countries like US and Russia/Former Soviet Union had for decades.
Do you know all old IIT, were opened with support from mostly Soviet Union and also American support.
I am not saying IIT are bad, they are very good institutions. But being in a deep pit does not give you the right to make conjectures about the outside world.
About me: NIT Surathkal CS 2011 Graduate, Master’s from Purdue University West Lafayette, working at Qualcomm-San Diego, H-1B approved.
Except 8kmiles every one else published the results. These guys claim that we will release the result only they get return package for all the candidates. Not sure when they will reveal the result.
When the filing cycle started, I asked the genius people that applied through this fake consultancy if their company conducts Marathon running for 8k miles. The extraordinarily skilled applicants responded to me saying this is a Top notch company and asked me to shut up. Now that their true colors are revealed, where will those geniuses go now? You guys can run 8k miles by foot from your city of Hyderabad to reach the US . 8k miles is the exact distance from India to US and they run a company by that name.
## Theses fake companies and people from that one state that is split to two to be banned from H1B programme##
I am no genius and not from 8kmiles. But I know how to use google search and read. I am sure no fake company would have stocks being traded and being featured on NDTV Profit. Read people, read. Search and read.
8K miles a listed company on Indian stock markets with market cap of 800 crores. Note : I am not an employee of 8K. I invest in stocks and that how I know this company.
TCS guys,
People from other companies are waiting for approval.
From TCS, we are waiting to know the lottery results?
Sometime back, I had phone with FDFU team. They said, lottery result will be updated to respective ISU RMG. Lottery status you will get to know from ISU RMG. But we have no clue at what stage it is pending.
If you drop a mail to FDFU contact for respective location with VTS ID. They might update you with lottery status. Please try to send mail to your base branch FDFU contact.
The below mail from FDFU.
Dear Associates,
Yet to receive any status after 29-May-15.
Once received, Will confirm the status to you.
No follow up’s is required from your end.
Then we left with no option. We have to wait for status from FDFU.
God the wait for approval is torturous . 🙁
Its been more than a month since selection now
Hi Accenture Guys,
Any update on the H1-B Cap results to be declared by Accenture.
Thanks
Mahesh Kumar Marda
Hi Guys,
I just had a word with my DM and he has confirmed that the selection results have been declared 3 weeks back and there is no hope for further selection outcomes and asked me to accept the fact.
So its time to move…
Not entirely true
The chances are 1 % ..which is nothing i agree ..but there can be a couple of ppl who can still make it
Hope the couple of people will be you and me 🙂
No DM will tell you that. Why unnecessarily spreading false news.
You need to have a good rapo with your DM to know this… if you feel its false then dont buy it..
Anybody received rejection or receipt mail from 8KMiles ?
Nopes :(( waiting for some update from them either of the case
Hi guys,
My case got approved on june 3,2015. Still haven’t receive approval notice hard copy. Any idea how much time does it take? Mine is ad/rg/vt. Did anyone receive approval notice hard copy.
Thanks
It seems that I have not picked up. And I told my manager and we decided to apply O1-A visa, first I filled out all documents to the lawyer for consultation. And she reviewed and emailed that I am not recommended to apply. Is there any other options left? I have got Ph.D.
Just got my application packet back. AD/VT/RG. Final attempt and single application. Leaving back home by the end of the year. Will play the luck game again for FY2017. Good luck people. Cheers!
Hi,
I applied for past 2 years but no luck, now this time my H1B application picked in lottery and it got approved on Jun 22nd ie., Yesterday, mine is RP Vermont center. Thanks.
Congrats. Can you share first 6 digits of ur receipt number.
Hey sree, congratulations… 🙂
I guess , Its almost 40% cases were approved. I have checked the 50 RFE’s in EAC151495XXXX series. Almost 50% (25)cases got changed the status like Fee Waived , Approved, Card Dispatched, Additional Docs Requested…,,,, etc. Hopefully Waiting for little faster…,,,,,,,,,, 🙂
I am still waiting for approval. my series is EAC151425****
I am also waiting for my case to move. My series is EAC151395XXXX… Any one with me still??
Hi.. I received RFE on my case status today. So if my employer responds back on my RFE by this week. Any idea as how long RFE cases take for approval?Any information on this will be helpful. Thanks.
It varies from a few days to more than 60 days
Thank you for your response
You meant you got receipt number today?
At 7:30 pm ist it was received but changed to approved around 10 pm..
Case status was updated to RFE 2 days back. I am waiting for the RFE mail from USCIS now.
once USCIS sent mail, how many days will it come to employer and employer can respond immediately and how many days it will take time to reach response to USCIS.
My assumption is it would take 1 week for your employer to receive the RFE notice. Based on RFE, drafting a response might take 2-3 weeks (review with attorney etc). And once the employer sends the RFE response, in 3-4 days we can see in the website that RFE is received. T
This is the information that i have.
thank you
@Anju Thank you for valuable information
Got approved today..nad rp eac1514752**.
can u plse tell, what time of the day these approvals come , plse mention IST, EST whatever u want, thanks.

H1b notice date: April 24, 2015
Approval date: June 22, 2015
Got h1b approved yesterday. Never got lottery selected email.!
What was you “Case was received” date?
And what was your EAC15 next 3 digits ?
Regular Processing, is it ?
Thats really great news.. All the best for your career.God bless you
When you never got lottery update then how you came to know about the approval update. how you were tracking
Could you help me to understand please. My package for H1B was sent to Vermont for Regular processing. Still waiting but today my sponsor told me that the check was cashed on May 5th. Does it mean I was approved or at least selected?
You are selected because money is not in your sponsor’s bank account it is now in immigration account. You need to wait. Seems like they have their own plan to process all cases which is causing delay.
let me know when you get your receipt number. Our check was cashed on the same day like you. 🙂
So do you mean you all got updates that your cheque encashed in May, but never receive any receipt notice?
h1b approved… on june 22nd.. wac15146***** regular/california

I recived my recipe 29th april but when I enter my recipe no on case status site there is a msg that I cant provide any information now call the number….. what that means I don’t understand?

GI team informed that rejection updates have not started yet…but as per your confirmation for one person AIMS is updated as rejected. Is it true?
Yes its true 🙂
My friend got rejected status
Oh ok then they have started with rejection updates as well….Still for most of them it is “Filed with USCIS” as the status in AIMS..GI team also not sure as to when they will get an update from USCIS…Not sure how long do we need to wait as the selections might be over by now
I called GI today also. Yet they are saying no updates for ur case.
They are saying to wait till 15th July and if not any updated till this date then they said me to call back.
They said last week they received some selected list.
With the strategy of newer technology, Infosys is looking at a visa-independent delivery system. “We are getting to a point where we need to get less dependent on visas and more dependent on innovation,” as said by Vishal Sikka
