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.

Thanks for the update, but you still havent got the receipt number from employer or attorney right??
No…

Looking at comments apparently Non AD/RP hasn’t even started yet?
A lawyer emailed me just for that she got my receipt for h1b. Advanced Degree & Regular Processing. A small company’s private lawyer, I will update the receipt number once I see it.
Which service center?
Congrats.. I am AD/RP too, so far have not received anything yet. I am nervous. Are you California or Vermont?
VT Center
Any one from Capgemini US got update?
My Company filed my H-1B AD/PP/VSC through Fragomen and didn’t hear anything from them yet. I called to my DSO and she told me that there is “Change in Status Request”. Also, she told me that she will send my EAC number through e-mail as she can’t disclose it on phone. AD/PP/VSC and Fragomen Guys Lot of hope and stay calm. Update is at 4/22/2015 10:30 AM from my DSO.
This helps.. Congrats and thanks a lot!
Fragomen is not updating anything, I’m non AD/PP/VT and nothing yet, they should receive a receipt and forward it right away, correct?
Could you let us know when Fragomen let you know that you were selected?
Fragomen didnt update anything yet..
VT/AD/PP
Got my reciept number from school.. the problem is VT is sending mail reciepts even for PP, and that is causing the delay for some folks..
No receipt yet..My DSO provided me a receipt number, but when I track it it says that no info available at this time. All the receipts around me (before and after) show case recieved
Congratss..!!
My friend just received her receipt from attorney AD/PP/VT.. i think there is still some hopoe
Called up Sevis to check my status and they said its active. My CPT is ending on December 2015 and I had applied in Regular process/ non AD degree/ VT.
Should I give up or should I wait until they start processsing NON AD/ Regular process applications?
Give it til May 15 or June man.
You know how I can check my sevis information? Do i have to call school or is there online website where i could check my sevis information for h1b. Please advice!
Call on this number and ask can you please tell me my Sevis Status. They will ask you couple of ?s and will let you know. All the best.
I called and my status is pending but I have applied in regular process, so I am not sure if I should call them back after they start regular process or should I take that as a final answer?
sorry here is the number
18008924829
Called on this Number,and told them my Sevis number and they informed that my status is active.Does it mean my application is not picked in the lottery.
Or should i still wait, i have applied for AD/RP/VT
I just emailed to my international office about my status. They emailed me back with receipt number shown on my I-20. My expiration date is December. I don’t know if this means I was selected in the lottery or not. Hope this helps.
Guys, stay calm, what ever it comes lets take it +vely.
wish you all the very best 🙂
IMPORTANT NEWS
I just emailed to my international office for my I-20 update a couple of minutes ago. They replied me back with receipt number, which I used to check online:
On April 13, 2015, we received your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number WAC151375xxxx, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by May 13, 2015, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
I don’t know if it means I was selected in the lottery. If so, guys, go to ask your international office no matter your expiration date is before or after October.
My status: AD/RP, and OPT will expire in December this year.
Hope it can relieve your anxiety and good luck to everyone.
AD/RP/VT just got it. Confirmed school first then lawyer did. Happy and wish you all the best.
Did your lawer get the reciept by email or by post
Congratulations! Do you have any clue if your check was en-cashed? If so can you please let me know when it was. I am AD/RP/VSC (same as yours)
I received i-20 from school with cap -gap extension, with a receipt. I sent the notice to lawyer and said u have been picked and money en cashed today
Awesome! Congratulations once again! Thanks for the information!
I got the receipt number from my SEVIS number, it states status pending,EAC…., and i checked the number on USCIS, it states on April 20, we received ……
but i haven’t heard anything from my attorney. It is kind of wired.
Two employers have filed h1b for me and both of them got picked. Not sure what to do. please advise.
You are SCREWED! Why would you file 2. You would work for only 1 employer and screwed other person’s chance of working here. You should get screwed! Amen!
Wait till which one gets approved, because just because the number got picked does not mean they are approved. If both get approved you can choose the company you want to work with
Absolutely right reply by Anamika ^ above, good luck…:)
You have nothing to worry until these applications weren’t files for same position or by same employer. Do not withdraw any of the petition and let both process parallel. Once both get approved, you can decide which one to go with.
can i ask the employer to withdraw one?
Hey Even I have applied from two different employers, both are legit offers I havent paid anything. Just wanted to know will the sevis record show both the receipt numbers, if both the petitions are picked up??
Beach like u ruin our chance by applying 2 ,3 apps.
Friends, Non-AD/PP i have seen only few people getting through. can we still hope till 27th or is it all over? My attorney told to wait till 27th. Mine is second attempt and its very hard to digest the fact that chances are slim now…
@h1bslaughteragain… How are you buddy. I hope you heard the good news
Nothing yet, are you on your last attempt friend? Did you check with your school
Same boat…. Some more patience and faith and it will be alright
Last attempt for you as well?feeling hopeless as of now.
Keep the faith.. the entire forum is praying for you… Hang in tight and it will be fine..
Are you on the east coast?
@h1bslaughteragain: Buddy, you don’t have to worry.. I honestly and wholeheartedly believe that your application was picked in the lottery. It is just a matter of time. You will get it and you’ll make this forum wet with your happy tears. Keep faith.
Lastly, as i always say “Stay calm and watch IPL :D”
Reposting as I forgot to add something… Anyways this is the message I received this morning when I contacted my school”
Because your employer has filed for H-1B you were granted a cap-gap extension while the USCIS makes there decision. Your cap-gap extends you to 09/30/15″
I was not provided a receipt number. Does this mean I was granted a cap gap because my h1 was filed, while USCIS decides if I am picked in the lottery and then processed.
Sorry really confused as I haven’t heard anything from my attorney.
I would say congrats! I think extension is only provided to those who are picked in the lottery. My DSO checked mt sevis record yesterday and it hasn’t been changed… Congrats!
Is your opt expiring soon that is prior to October 1st???
It will expire in 28 days
Just got a mail from my employer that my check got cashed.
All the best to rest of you guys !
Stay hopeful !
FYI – Do not have a receipt yet.
Congrats. I am waiting for mine AD/RP/CSC
From USCIS website VSC started sending few other PP receipts today
My application was picked 🙂 AD/PP/VT
Heard from my lawyer yesterday. Good luck for the guys waiting. Hang in there.
Congrats! Would you please provide your case number and mask the last 4 digits?
EAC151375XXXX
Hi all,
I’m currently on my CPT and have exceeded a year, so I don’t have OPT anymore. I’m suppose to graduate in May, but potentially I can fail a class and extend it to Aug. I finally get selected under PP this year after 3 years.
My questions is. Is there a way I can work between Aug to Oct 1st? If not, Do I have to leave the country and come back?
Thank you!!!

My heart ticking very fast when I open this website. Any regular processing receipts? Hope everyone here should get selected in lottery….
I don’t see any regular receipts yet. I am waiting for mine as well AD/RP/CA. Good Luck !!
mid may rp non ad
This is the not the website that tells you that you got your lottery picked or not. Then why you are worried about opening this website. Take a chill pill and see what happens.
Are the cheques cashed after the receipts are generated? or receipts are sent first and cheques are cashed ?
guys i filed h1 from india through 4 employers and 3 got picked up, i am confused now which one i need to choose, better pay or better working environment. suggest me .
Are you AD/PP ?
are you mad, i clearly told you h1 from india, how could it becomes AD/PP, you even dont know knowledge of visas and keep asking questions.
Do you now anything about degree evaluation?
Your degree can be evaluated as advanced.
I wish you have such degree. haha 🙂
HA HA HA.
Hey BDM.. Why do you have to over react buddy.. People can apply from India in AD/PP category. Lets say a guy did his masters, then went back to India and trying to come to US again. Don’t take out your stress on people here, they come here to get information just like anybody else. Stay calm and watch IPL 😀

@BDM , who said that you cant apply AD/PP from india, those who completed AD last year, and now in India can apply…. i think you dont have knowledge i suppose
if you are applied from india .. did u applied through premium or regular processing …
Regular processing dint yet started sending receipts..
@BDM– you join 4th company which is not selected in lottery.
P.S. – don’t mis lead the people by putting fake comments.
I am with you on this……
Guys,
I very much appreciate all opinions, advice and encouraging posts on this forum; they provide insight that you cannot find easily anywhere else.
I need to know you all opinion: I applied for PP/AD in VT and haven’t heard back from USCIS. I sent an email to my school asking about the status of my SEVIS record and here is what they said:
“Your SEVIS Record has been given the cap gap extension, which means that your F1 status has been extended until September 30, 2015. I have a new I-20 with the cap gap extension on the third page to send you. What address should I sent it?”
Does this mean that I was picked in the lottery? Or could this status change be simply a result of H1B filing.
My message to all of you waiting: stay positive and be prepared for any outcome of the lottery. When one door closes, God opens thousands more.
Congrats. you got selected.
Same case with me..
No receipt yet..My DSO provided me a receipt number, but when I track it it says that no info available at this time. All the receipts around me (before and after) show case recieved..
AD/PP/VT
According to immigration girl blog,as of 21st morning only 33% of non -ad/PP receipts from CA center were sent…. So still there is some hope 🙂
Wow. How did immigration girl blog get this % ?
so you are saying 77% of applications are yet to be released ?
Yeah, But mathematically it’s 67 😉
I dont mean to discourage , I just wanted to give my opinion on that… for non AD the pick probability is 28% and the blog claims to receive 33% applications reply (close to the pick probability) so if you are PP (irrespective of AD or non AD) and did not get receipt by today I would suggest to prepare for plan B
It is good to be hopeful but not at cost of being unrealistic… Again I dont mean to be rude.. I dint get through last year aswell I kn the pain
Guys, guys !! Immigration girl posted the percentage based on the total number of application they have sent NOT the total number of applications received by USCIS. Lets say immigration girl filed 100 AD/PP applications to California, they received 33 receipts. That is what they meant, and not the total number. At least that is what i construed.
It is very depressing movements of my life.
1. Last year lottery killed my hope
2. This L1 is denied
3. This year still, I am hanging for H1B.
@mahi–Last year in which month you filed your nomination
L1 in Jan
May I know the reason for L1 getting denied ? Have you studied in US before?
Just wanted to know what your lawyers are saying… When is the estimated deadline for getting receipts for PP, I am non AD PP and would like to know your views and info… It’s stressful just to curb my anxiety… I wish you all the very best
Update from Immigrationgirl blog:
***UPDATE 4/21/15 – As of this morning, we have received receipts for:
54% of California AD PP
33% of California Bach PP
No receipts for Regular Processing cases filed at the California Service Center
71% of Vermont AD PP (major increase from yesterday)
36% of Vermont Bach PP (also increased from yesterday)
No receipts for Regular Processing cases filed in Vermont
***
From same blog: on 4/20/15
For Masters cap cases filed in Premium Processing in California, we have receipts for only 50%. And for the Bachelors cap we have receipts for only 30%.
It shows from 20th to 21st number of receipts has slowed down from California. But, still receiving.
Any new receipts this morning??
People, this morning I called my school and they told me because my employer has filed my h1b, I have been granted a cap gap extension upto 9/30 while USCIS makes a decision. What does that mean? Really confused 🙁
My current opt expires late June… Did this happen to everyone whose opt expires before October 1st?
If there is a change in your SEVIS, it means USCIS started processing your application.
I’m pretty sure your applications is picked.
Congrats!
RP or PP?
Hope below link helps you (add https in begining)
immigrationgirl.com/opt-cap-gap-extension-explained/
that means you are not selected.. you are totally unlucky this year and not eleigible to apply for any visa of any country…. JK.
But I have not been provided a receipt number. Can it just be a temporary cap gap when my H1 is filed…. I mean does everyone’s SEVIS automatically get updated to 9/30… Pending a decision… Or only those who get selected… I am super confused and nervous
If your F1 expires before October 1st of the year, your sevis will be updated sooner when compared to the others.
Hi Guys,
I checked with SEVIS and they said there is a ‘change of status’ showing on my account. After that, I checked with my school, but advisor said there is no ‘change of status’. I’m really confusing about this. Does anybody know why?
Would you please share the SEVIS contact number?
Do they really tell you?
AD/PP/CSC… still waiting.. 🙁
last chance on my OPT
@Sri – I am exactly in the same wonderful boat…
Well, this is my second chance. I wasn’t picked up last year and this year I am still waiting on decision.
Anyone getting any results for this category ? (NON AD/PP)
#ThereIsStillHope
PP receipts are processed completely. If anyone who has not received any receipt by the end of this week should focus on plan b. Some people have also started getting RP receipts.
Dude stop giving fake news. no one with RP received anything yet.
Sorry to say this But Tony is right … I have 2 of my friends who got reply yest… they are from Chicago (Calif center)
Forgot to mention they are AD/RP
I concur Broken Immigration…
Toni my boy…are you from Aaj Tak?
Hey guyz, whats cooking?
My brain…
Does it smell good ???
Miyabhai cooking hyderabadi biryani.. hope this helps
Dum ka biryani…wah…everyones going crazy i see on this page…probably the wait…
Biryani to all from my side–
If the filed application ( non / rp) is picked in this lottery
PS: I am from Delhi and love biryani
There is a way to find out if it’s PP or RP. If it says ’emailed receipt’ in case status page, it’s PP and if it says ‘sent receipt’ it will mean RP.
Keep hope amigos.
Remember we are all in mid 20’s and there is lot of life ahead.
That has absolutely nothing to do with whether the case was filed with RP or PP. If the receipt was sent via email, it probably just means the attorney / petitioner submitted a Form G-1145 (which requests that USCIS communicates any updates via email) along with other documents. If a case were filed under PP, USCIS would make it explicit in the very first sentence of the case status.
Anyone still waiting AD/PP/VT ? 🙁 🙁
Yeah bro. Don’t worry
All is well. All is well
+1 Same here….
Me too. Anxious
Guys, I think PP receipts would continue for some more time as we did not see any RP receipts yet.. PP folks(including me) don’t loose hope yet …
I think I have a better chance at Super ball and Mega ball lotteries than the H1B lottery this time…

Well, Powerball it is then! You can easily sponsor yourself with EB-5 visa with the winnings 🙂

Oh Yeah. Definitely… :)… this wait kills man !!! Just having some fun…

every one talking about they are getting PP receipt numbers. but we would get them after 27th april right since PP processing starts on this day?
Processing for PP applicants will begin from April 27 and it will be completed in 15 calendar days as per USCIS. Now only receipt numbers are delivered through email whoever selected in the lottery process.
Guys,
Don’t get mislead by a few people on the forum. There is no way to tell from the receipt number if its a RP or PP case. PP receipts are still being generated. Unless people who have applied in RP comment on this forum that they have received their notice please please don’t get mislead.
Thanks
Mr PK
Looks like the PP is completed for the CSC. Lets keep some hope till 25th April otherwise the PP chances are very slim.
What is your thought ?
Yes.. and even if they have stoped generating pp receipts they haven’t sent all pp receipts for VT yet… so still all pp has chance for VT center…
Be positive and keep the faith…
