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.

AD/PP/VSC
Guys,
I don’t know if y’all remember me from last H1B ordeal but just wanted to let y’all know that i got my receipt yesterday from my lawyer via email. I had to come back home last year but i was fortunate enough that my company stood by me and allowed me to work from home. I sincerely wish that all you genuine guys get it this time and continue your work like it’s nobody’s business. Always remember somebody’s out there somewhere watching your back.
All the very best.
Congrats!
I am in the same situation. Came back and working from home!
waiting for mine..
I am AD/PP/VT waiting for receipt from Seyfarth Shaw.
have been waited to painfully and lost most of my hope.
Anyone received good news from seyfarth shaw yet??
Call you university international service center and ask if there is any update on Sevis. If it is updated to pending status then that means your application got picked in lottery.
Good Luck !!
does it works for those people whose opt is going to be expired after Oct 1st 2015?
Yes !
Vsc receipts solludaa…
Vsc. Receipts kaab ayegaa iskii maakiii kirkirii…
They are coming man. Stay calm
No change. ……. I guess I am done for this game….
Any update for NON AD/PP/VSC today?
Anybody got in RP yet now…I want to know the countdown for RP is started or not..
Seems like.. RP will bite the dust in front of AD this year.. I havent seen a lot from RP yet.. Most are PP for either RQ or AD…
RP will take some time bro. You can expect the receipt until mid May. I have seen my friends receiving receipts until end of May last year.
common.. Regular processing seems like .. None… AD you the champ guys.. you did a really good home work on filing..
Hello all,
I’m losing hopes day by day now. This is just painful. Mine is Non AD, PP…I’m working with a big automotive company as an Engineer at Michigan.
Can you guys reply here about the updates
1) Did you get the receipt number?
2) Please reply even if you haven’t received receipt number. This will help me stay calm :'(
Thanks much and good luck to you all. I understand what you all and I’m going through and this is just brutal
Please reply all Non AD, PP, California.
hey, i am an AD/PP/CSC living my dream working in my dream firm and yet no sign of an H-1b. Almost given up hope and will continue to question God for his decision.
How is detroit and the weather?
@h1bslaughteragain ..Weather is really nice. Last winter was really bad.
Good luck to you. I understand your pain. I hope you get it. Best wishes
Don’t worry. You have time until 25th. If you don’t get until then I think you’re in trouble, but stay calm.
@OMG
Thank you so much. I (and a lot of people ) need your prayers. This is a real struggle. I have not finished paying off loans from my bachelors degree (since I did it from US and was expensive) and now I’ve to take more loans if I want to do masters (well, that’s the only option left)…
Thank you
Just call your university international student center and ask them if there is any update on your Sevis. If your sevis got updated to pending that means your application got picked. It’s just that there is a delay in sending the receipt.
Hope this helps.
I am also waiting for Non AD/PP/CSC.. I have not received any notification.. There are a lot of talks happening..
Some say.. This week will be last – That means we can still receive our receipts number.. HOPE is not all lost..
Some say.. They received receipts today.. but the receipt dates are 1 week old.. so that means they are still sending old receipts… HOPE is not all lost..
Some say.. Still ADs are coming out and Non AD will be soon.. HOPE is not all lost..
Some also say.. Its all over.. we should give up..
Lets see.. I think still there is some hope left.. we can still make it..
BTW.. I’m also in US.. 😛
@h1bslaughteragain: I have been reading comments since yesterday.. but I really feel for u dude.. I hope u get it this time.. 🙂
Thanks for the update.
The only thing we can do is wait and pray.
I’ll pray for you all and me.
Best wishes
Thanks dude..
Best of luck.. 🙂
I have some hopes left too. I am in the same category as you.
NON AD/PP.
Lets wait and see.. 🙂
I am hoping for it too. My application is AD/PP/CSC.
@h1bslaughteragain: I hope you get it dude.
Hang in there.
I got mine 4 days back. AD PP CA
Hopefully you get it too..
Cognizant- they said, they will receive a bulk updates start 1st may and one at end of the month.. They don’t receive petition by petition
Stop filing under those desi shitty companies like TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant, Syntel etc.They are BS. You’ll never come to the USA
Dude. mine is filled with top notch US bank…
it doesnt matter if you work for apple, google, nasa or federal govt. its always bull shit to have a desi implementing partner.
learn english.its “filed” not “filled”.Thats why you are still hanging with that desi shitty companies, rather than directly working for your “top notch US bank” LFMAO
dude.. I am not here to show my English literature, if you consider yourself so bright why don’t you file in cap exempt category, it will help you.. making a typo mistake don’t hurt anyone knowledge, we all are working hard regardless of which company you belong its desi or someone ELSE, in fact everyone shares same sort of story. Work hard, working hard or worked hard.. so pay respect to every individual skill.
Well Said ad
I do have a lot of respect towards Indian employees but not towards those shitty companies. DO you atleast know what is CAP exempt? look it up. get some life and peace. Stop saying DUDEEEEE!
well.DUDE…..you seems so frustrated.. go and educate yourself
Now everyone knows who is educated! got get life
H1B picked 🙂

Jab jab pade hai dharm par haani
Jab badhe hai asur abhimani

Whenever there is injustice and corrupt system
When there are people who exploit the system
Then at those times the Devine has come and will come in different forms.
And free, listen to, and reward the gentleman of their pain.
HANG IN THERE. IT’S NEVER OVER. TRUST BELIEVE LIVE
Thank you…well said, but seems like so far lot of people are getting it and I being an AD and a single applicant aint. So maybe God isnt listening or wanting to help.
I don’t think so. Two of my friends( AD/PP/CSC) got it yesterday.
Just now I received a call from my employer, I got selected Non- AD/ PP/VSC.
I hope u all will get.
did u get ur receipt number as well?
I don’t think so. I got it today morning man.
Any receipts for Oracle ??
Not yet!
Attorney did not respond to my email I sent through their portal.
Hi frnds,
i agree, we all are very curious to know about lot result.
I am getting very much worried to know , we are so dependent on US lot , the reason we are so much concerned about this to get :
1. Money
2. Tourism
3. Pride
4. Luxury life.
Incase, if we dont get dont feel sad/broken, for what we have not got.
Feel happy that we are blessed to live with our family,frnds, and got much more time to live with them , than abandoning them.
My Small suggestion is, dont give wrong impression to world and to our juniors that H1B is super special.
It just creates publicity and it will fade in some time soon..
It has potential to provide lots of depression and restlessness, especially this year H1B2016.
“Never forget to prepare for the Worst outcome, bcos only brave ppl would prepare for worst,
Cowards prepare only for best outcome, bcos they will not be able to digest failures.”
Well said bro….even I have also applied for RP/Non AD and not yet received any update. Yes I am also worried but on the other side what you have said is true… Thumbs up bro….
Hey Guys,
My co-worker, the only one who applied for h1b except me in this company, got his receipt via email at 3:00 pm 04/20/2015. He is Non-AD/PP/VT and his receipt showed it was received on 04/13/2015. Receipt # EAC15137xxxxx. This is his first attempt and he was so lucky. Happy for him.
I am AD/PP/VT and still have not heard anything. This is my second and will be the last h1b attempt if policy don’t change. Hate to say that I am never the lucky one.
Everybody sit tight. As you could see, they sent email notification a week later for cases received on 04/13. Yours are on the way. Good luck.
ZY
I am also ad/pp/vt and have not heard anything back for attorney yet. It is also my second time…………
Same same. I am not gonna say don’t panic, because everyone is on panic mode right now. Another note about my co-worker’s case. My employer received his receipt in mail today, which really means that VT’s email system was broken and they sent mail notifications because of that. As soon as the system was repaired yesterday, they started sending email notifications. That’s why my co-worker got an email yesterday and a mail today for his receipt.
And also too. His checks were never cashed, which is weird. But I guess you really couldn’t say you are not picked in the lottery if you don’t see your check cashed.
Be positive! Good Luck!
Asked my attorney if there was any update, he replied he will know in week or so. Can we expect PP receipts coming next week, as USCIS will start to process premium from April 27th? ?
Anyone from Capgemini got updates on the lottery results?
Can someone tell me if anyone with Regular processing AD had thier Seivis account updated with H1-B info??
Just saw on Fragomen tracker “H-1B:Received email notification of H-1B receipt notice from USCIS Premium Processing Unit”.
My second attempt guys, hopefully it goes through from here. All the best to everybody who is still waiting, I dont have the receipt number yet, will update once I have more info. Thanks to all the ppl who are sharing valuable info.
Asked my attorney if there was any update, he replied he will know in week or so. Can we expect PP receipts coming next week, as USCIS will start to process premium from April 27th?
To be honest very less chance after this week. VSC give large number of receipts yesterday. And they will continue to do so until Friday. After that I don’t think PP should depend a lot on lottery. Best of luck!

You should be getting soon
Is it ok to apply fr 3-4 H1B. my boss apply fr 3 h1 for me 2 RP nd 1PP
as per information , i have read through online and various blogs .
uscis system currently allows multiple petitions for same passport(remember its unique).
But, i am not able to assure you that. but, i think most of the companies would not encourage duplicate filings. It is upto them, i think it is legal.
ppl any comment on this ?
au mala. more H1B higher chances
I work in Sairam Consultancy in georgia. everybody apply 3-4 visa frm my cmpny
If you filed multiple applications with the same employer,all H1 B applications will be rejected and will not return the filing fee.You can’t file multiple application with same employer, you can file multiple cases with different employers!
You probably gonna be rejected by USCIS. They said they will reject the person that applied multiple applications!

Mr. Vamshi how r u… Non-Ad/PP waitin … hyderabd
Do they send receipts alphabetically (first name), definitely based on category PP/AD/NONAD/RP. but is it alphabetical???ny guess…
as per Immigration_Girl blogs , its untrue..
Are there any hopes left for AD/PP/Vermont ?
Called my employer yesterday but none of the checks for my application have cashed.
I am losing hopes, this is my second attempt.
Same here….. Lets stay hopeful.. People are still receiving receipts. Where are you located?
My employer is in Texas, while my Client locations upstate New York.
Good luck my friend.. It is very hard, but patience is all what we got now… Keep praying
And when I say checks I meant (H1 Petetion Fee + Premium Processing Fee) and not multiple applications.
Still a more days left…Last year, I got mine 8 days after the lottery done. So just be patient and wait.
Thanks man … I really hope I get it this year.
Any one got receipt for AD/RP/California?
Enti nee lolli Non-Ad/PP/CSC waiting ikkada … loll!!

lolli aapu saaruu
Hi All,
I am Non-Ad/PP/CSC. Is there any chance ?.
Btw this entire process is stressing me out.I haven’t been like this before. This process makes us feel like this is the only chance to live .
🙁 ;'( God Help Us.
Are you in USA now?
No.I am in India.
one more.. non-AD/PP/CSC waiting . Do we see any RP/CSC receipts ?.. that can help us conclude a bit of whats in store for us….!! My employer said he did not hear anything about my case so far..
But According to Immigration girl blog. As of yesterday , they have sent 50 % of AD and 30 % non AD .And only premium processing were sent .So we still have a chance. Lets wait for a day.
Why do you want H1B so badly that you arent able to sleep? You dont have invested money on education like us, what makes you think that you are more qualified than many of us here? It is because of people like you that the competition spikes up and most of the people eligible for H1-B are denied the visa. Work in your own country. Make in India.
Hi Bleh,
Let me first answer for the qualification.What made u think u r more qualified than me .U may have spent more money for your college than me. That does not mean u r more qualified than me .
Please respect every one !
The H1B is not only for the AD but for the RP candidates as well.
We should have to respect AD & RP candidates.
The education always teach us to respect every one. It never educate that to become selfish.
Gill and respect every candidate 😀
@ bleh. what makes you think you are more qualified. he is not doing anything iilegal. you are also taking jobs from US citizens who are born here and has spend much more than you in college and schools. There parents have paid taxes for generations
Hi H1BWaiting,
No one is more qualified than you. When are you filing for US president candidacy?
Bleh,
Even after so called more qualification , seems like you didn’t understand 1 small thing
Qualification ( Criteria) Required for H1b is 4 years bachelor : Fine ? That’s qualification and all are qualified
Yes, for some it take one more masters to become confident about them self or worthy enough to have some options to do some useful thing in life or else better do farming and serve the mankind .
and to all those so called Masters ( with respect) , donot feel that you have become some hyper human — you took some decision few years ago to reach here and people with bachelors made a decision to reach here at their will
and if you feel that you invested money and so and so : That’s your personal financial decision and nobody else is responsible for your luck
so you are already in india from 25+ years , what makes you say its only the chance to live.. ?
You are not in usa like from 5 years did masters and worried we will be kicked out if we dont get visa…..
I’m also Non AD/PP/CSC.. Waiting.. Not sure if I should just give up or not.. Let’s see..
Look dude,
you are just angling for a shortcut. thats the problem.
Has Vermont center started sending Non AD/RP receipts yet? Anyone?
i feel VSC would be bit late for sending RP results when compared to CSC.
Yeah, I have the same gut feeling.probably they will be sending it late this week and next week I guess
I am also waiting for NONAD/PP/VT 🙁 , i think we have less chance.
I guess they started sending the receipts for Non-AD/PP/VT yesterday afternoon. So I think you still have chance to get. Good luck!
Thank you , i hope i will get .
@wipro_guy : Congrats !!, did you got RP receipt number ?
if not,what is your application type..
I think wipro wont share recepit number , atleast he can confirm us from which center.
i agree..
just want to know , whether it is PP or RP and VSC or CSC..
FINALLY!!! I got selected in lottery. 2nd attempt, but also last attempt. Single application applied with my current employer. My attorney got an email yesterday at 2:46 pm. However, when I check the status online, it does not say that they emailed the receipt number. Moreover, online status check says they received my request on April 17, but the email says date received on April 13, so it could be a little confusing.
Anyway hope you guys get yours soon!
Receipt number: EAC1513852XXX
My husband and I got yesterday ours.
AD/PP/VT – i know we were extremely lucky since we both got it. We both got an email. (well our lawyer got the email..)
My coworker got the letter for her NON AD/PP/VT, she called her lawyers and they didnt know anything… so I guess emails and mails are still getting… I would not loose the hope.
I have 4 friends still waiting for news…. 3 of them AD… I truly think they still have chances of getting it.
Good luck to everybody. and thank you for this website, it really helped me when I was super stressed out…
THIS VISA PROCESS SUCK!!!!!!! we all people with education, good jobs… and we are in this situation where we dont know what its going to happen with our life… NO FAIR..
GOOD LUCK AGAIn
