When will the H1B visa 2017 season start ? Date ?
Short answer April 1st 2016. Typically, USCIS will start to accept petitions for the next fiscal year starting from April 1st of the previous fiscal year. USCIS fiscal year is from October 1st to September 30th. So, for H1B quota of fiscal year 2017, which starts from October 1st, 2017, USCIS would typically accept applications from April 1st, 2016. The H1B Visa 2016 season started on April 1st of 2015. Also, in the H1B Rejected Notices of 2016, USCIS mentioned that, the non-selected candidates can file H1B petitions for FY 2017 on or after April 1st, 2016.
USCIS announced on March 16th, 2016 that they will accept FY 2017 petitions from April 1st, 2016. Read Summary of USCIS press release FY 2017 .
Also, we have written an article summarizing on What to expect in H1B FY 2017 Season
What is H1B 2017 Cap ? What are the H1B 2017 Quota numbers ? Regular vs Masters ?
If you new to H1B, I suggest you read All about H1B Visa Cap- Regular vs Masters. In simple terms H1B cap is a congressional mandated maximum number of petitions that USCIS can accept in a year. As of now, below are the H1B cap number for fiscal year 2017. The below numbers are confirmed in press release by USCIS on Mar 16, 2016.
- Regular H1B Quota : 65,000
- H1B Master’s Degree Quota ( only US Master 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.
There have been many discussions around change in H1B cap numbers by Obama administration since 2013. The planned proposal was to increase the regular quota cap to 110,000 and Masters quota to 25,000. No changes for FY 2017, the above numbers of 65,000 and 20,000 are officially confirmed by USCIS in their press release.
What is H1B Visa 2017 Prediction? Will there be Lottery again for FY 2017
Update : USCIS Updated on April 12th, 2016 that they have received over 236,000 petitions for FY 2017 quota and the lottery was completed on April 9th.
Looking at the past trend of H1B season in the past three years, we could very likely have lottery for FY 2017. Last year for FY 2016 quota, there were 233,000 applications. We have done a detail analysis with the H4 Visa EAD rule in place considering the economy, students graduating, OPT news, etc. You should read article H1B Visa 2017 Lottery Prediction News, results, Date .
If H1B lottery, will there be any preference in lottery for Large companies ? Premium Processing
Well, no preference for anyone, all are treated equally, including premium processing. There are many such misconceptions about lottery process, we have compiled a list of such myths and criteria, you should read Myths of H1B Lottery, Criteria
When to plan for H1B visa 2017 Application ? How soon ? What should be the strategy ?
It is never too late to start planning for your H1B 2017 season. If you plan to work in US on H1B visa in the next coming fiscal year, below are some suggestions based on your situation.
- F1 Student in USA : If you are studying on F1 visa and about to graduate in next one year, you should seriously look at finding an internship or co-op at companies that can sponsor your H1B visa. You can search for H1B Sponsors in a particular area using our H1B Sponsors Search Tool and try to get an internship to work there on CPT or OPT after you graduate. This is a strategic move and will require sometime, so plan well.
- Professional from outside USA : If you are a working professional outside US, planning to work in US on H1B, your best bet is to find Multinational companies that have major US presence and secure a job there, so that you can position internally for applying to H1B visa, when the season starts. This is a very strategic decision, you need to carefully assess your options, speak to the company if such options exist and then only choose it.
- Other H4, L1 Visas : If you are on these visas, your best bet is to find companies just like I mentioned for F1 students that sponsor H1B visas and start interviewing and keeping the conversation going so that you can ask them to file H1B when the season starts.
We have put together a Step by Step Plan on How to apply for H1B 2017 Quota
How do I find a H1B Visa Sponsor – The most asked million dollar question ?
If you are student in the US, it is very straight forward, you find the list of H1B Sponsoring companies using the tool in an area as I mentioned above and get an internship in one of them so that they can sponsor your H1B visa. Unlike, if you are coming from outside US, it can be tricky. If you work for an Multinational company ( MNC), then they will have some internal process to pick the candidates and then process H1B visa for them…The other option that has been used and abused is the consulting companies route…Many a times, the H1B aspirants approach a body shop IT consulting company to file H1B for them and they apply for the same. It gets nasty with the body shop consulting companies. The comments on this H1B Companies Reviews article are quite eye opening. I advise, you beware of the consulting companies and avoid fraud. Also, WE as RedBus2US do NOT provide any guidance or assistance or sponsor anything. If someone claims that, it is pure fraud and they are trying to trick you, we are not responsible for that. Please be careful. Anyways, for various other options , You may read article How to find H1B 2017 Sponsors
What is the H1B visa 2017 filing fee ? Is it same or any changes ?
It changed slightly this year with the Omnibus Bill passed in December 2015, that will increase the H1B filing fee by $4000 for FY 2017, until 2025 for certain companies that have over 50 employees and have more than 50% of their employees as H1B or L1 visa holders in USA. Check USCIS Guidelines on H1B Fee increase. Depending on the size of the company, the H1B filing fee can vary anywhere from $1,600 USD to $7,400 USD + Attorney Fee. There are various fees components that make up this number range, for more details Read Summary of H1B Filing Fee 2017 – Who pays for What ? . Below is a high level summary. Also, one key change is that, there was $2000 USD additional filing fee as per Public Law 111-230, this law expired on Sep 30, 2015 and that is not included anymore.
| H1B Fee Component | Fee in USD |
| Base filing fee | $325 |
| AICWA Fee | $750 or $1,500 |
| Fraud prevent & detection fee | $500 |
| Fee based on Public Law 114-113 ( if applicable) | $4000 |
| Premium processing fee (Optional) | $1,225 |
| Immigration Attorney Fee | Varies from $500 to $3000 |
What about Comprehensive Immigration Reform(CIR) and Obama Executive Actions for H1B 2017 Quota Increase ?
There has been many articles and discussions since 2013 around immigration reform by President Obama and changes around and some like below have been discussed in the last couple of years, nothing moved significantly.
- 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 ( Part of this came up as the fee increase in Omnibus Bill )
- Additional H1B rules to avoid H1B Visa fraud by employers
- Mandatory LCA posting for 30 days before it is certified.
The current status on all of the above are basically “No updates”, there are no set deadlines for any of them and none of these are happening for FY 2017. You may read Summary of CIR Changes to H1B . Officially as per press release on March 16, 2016, the H1B cap is confirmed to be 65,000 for regular and 20,000 for masters…hence, no changes.
What is LCA for H1B Visa ? Processing times ?
LCA is a form that has to be filed with US Dept of Labor and get it certified before filing H1B petition with USCIS. It has to be sent along with H1B Package to USCIS. It has all the relevant information about the job position like wage, location, title, etc. It takes about 7 working days for processing of the LCA by US Dept of Labor (DOL). You can read complete details at Why is LCA Needed for H1B – Processing Time, Salary
USCIS Updated in their original press release on March 16, 2016 that the premium processing will begin no later than May 16, 2016. But, on April 22nd, they updated that the premium processing for FY 2017 will begin on May 12th, 2016. What it means is that the official 15 calendar day SLA for premium processing petitions will be starting from 12th. USCIS may process the petitions early as well, but officially their clock starts on that day.

A big Congrats for all who got selected….me applied 1st time for Non AD/RP, my consultant said that we can have hope till May end…but waiting that long kills me…anyway hoping for the best.
All RP/NON AD, AD guys can expect news from today onwards till end of next week, i got a call fom my employer saying 1 check got encashed yesterday (RP/AD) , But chances for PP guys are really slim,
Hi
My case got denied after RFE.so USICS maintaining database of denial case ????.
Is there will be any effect in future if i applyfor h1b or f1 ???
Please revert on this
WHICH consultancy and denial reason and RFE what they asked.
when did they deny
absolutely no problem will be there for applying H1 B AGAIN AND FI.
BUT why they have denied. u should check with them and
find out the mistakes and rectify it
There won’t be any effect in future if you apply again for h1b or f1. One of my friends application got denied after RFE in 2014, and he applied again last year, got approved. So no issues at all in your case. Also make sure your consultancy provides proper documentation during RFE and request them to provide you the letter regarding RFE. Good Luck!
You all suck. Fake consultancies and dumb candidates.
GTHOH!
Your RFE for this cycle got denied already??????
It’s last year situation. They didn’t started the process yet for this year.
Learn English Mishka. They did not start*. That’s why you are dumb!
Any regular processing received receipts?
Not yet Received
We can expect emails after Apr, 25th
Ok Thx
IBMers….too early too ask, but anyone, any updates??
Why is it so calm? Any success stories?
PP email : more than 90% done
PP hard copy without an email : a handful
RP snail mail : start
It’s just my assumption.
haha. exactly emily’s words
19-Apr-2016
AD/PP – 99% Game over
Non-AD/PP – 3% Checks clearing started
19-Apr-2016

Non-AD/RP – 3% Checks clearing started
Anyone got notification in CTS ?
i am from CTS and applied regular process still not yet any updates
Ask this question only after April 28th, start worrying after May 8th.
Consider game over after May 15th.
Is this for non AD/RP ??
Any news from Infoscions? Anybody got any receipts yet?
No Update yet…waiting eagerly.
Eagerly waiting … Still not update
Waiting. No update.
Anyone in here whose case is already approved? I was picked in the lottery and still waiting for the approval.
There’s still time for approvals. Right now the receipts are being generated for the picked one’s. Hang in there till next month.
I was picked in the lottery this year and I got below statement in the receipt notice email.
The California Service Center will adjudicate this case within
15 calendar days of the “received date” set forth above.
If approved, you will receive e-mail notification of such.
And the date received is 04/11/2016
Shall I expect the approval result before April 26 ？
Is it PP or RP ?
PP
Same question from my end as well. Let me know if you get any updates.
lucky guy this year,
For the new FY-17 petitions, official start date for PP petitions is May 16. So it will be done by May 31.
I hope all applicants with single application only, especially those who studied in US and invested their time and money get picked only.
Hope US government brings in a new bill, which gives higher preference to people who studied in US over people from Indian IT companies, many of whom have fraud degrees and fake work experience. I hope next year, h1b fees are increased further for foreign companies. Misuse of H1bs by Indian companies has to stop. There should be fixed quota for Indian companies every year – 5000- 8000 should be enough .
Bro, in that case US is going to loose talented work force. Most of the non MS students are very talented, USCIS is smart enough to find out fake degree and face exp candidates. There are lot of MS students who just complete B,Tech in India, come for MS, put 7-8 years of experience though they don’t have any exp and get H1B, so don’t think that just by spending money on MS will get special advantage. If money is the criteria to get H1 then america DO NOT encourage that. US law makers are smart enough to make laws
Wrong brother. Most of Non MS are talented ? And MS are less ? People who never studied in India also come here and finally end up studying and increasing knowledge to compete with so called talented people here. Sitting in India and/or a cubicle filled with people similar to you doesn’t help you get a perspective. Also, get your username spelled correctly. Good luck
Dear Vijay and Sandy, let’s not fight to proof who is talented and who is not. I think this is not the right forum to do so. I think if we can not help people then we should wish all the best to the people who waiting for something early. Talented and non talented both want opportunity to move forward. Lets not express our own frustration in public forum.God has given you talent and definitely will help you to prosper in your life.After reading this please don’t take it personally. Instead smile and wish yourself and others all the best. All the best you guys.
Bro, Will you start your career as fresher in US once you get Work Visa? Keep hoping on your hopes!!
Question to USCIS –
If you intend to allow H1b selection procedure based on ‘Random Lottery’ , then fine. But you need to find out ways and impose strict rules so that
Most important change is to prevent multiple petitions from same person.
No applicant can file more than 1 petition.
If selection is based on lottery , and it is just a luck , then why do you allow Loopholes in your procedure to have ‘more luck’ for few applicants.
Please take it seriously. Otherwise H1b lottery looks more like a gamble where players are free to cheat and win.
Everyone knows this , and only those who cheat and file multiple petitions favour the loophole.
Remember
Q : I hope all applicants with single application only, especially those who studied in US and invested their time and money get picked only.
Ans : Just ask anyone who you know, they will tell you multiple applications will be filed by MS applicants only. I’m sure you will be one amongst them.
Q: Hope US government brings in a new bill, which gives higher preference to people who studied in US over people from Indian IT companies, many of whom have fraud degrees and fake work experience.
Ans : Do you also think they should be very stringent on the MS applicants who show 7-8yrs exp immediately after completing MS, how is this possible ? I can tell you, most of the applicants from India will have real/genuine experience.
Q: I hope next year, h1b fees are increased further for foreign companies. Misuse of H1bs by Indian companies has to stop. There should be fixed quota for Indian companies every year – 5000- 8000 should be enough .
Ans : Misuse by Indian companies ? So person applying for jobs after MS and adding 7-8yrs exp in resume, wouldn’t it be mis-use ? If you are genuine, can you get a IT job as fresher in US with min $60K ?
USCIS has anyways given separate quota for MS and general quota…whereever you fall in, try your luck..
Don’t talk about mis-use/dis-honest/fake/fraud when you are on same boat….I’m not against on MS applications nor I support non-MS applications, it’s just luck boss on lottery part. Wish you all the best to you, all MS and non-MS(Both PP and non-PP) applicants…Be cool 🙂
Why don’t uscis inform abt rejection so late.atleast this wait will be over. Hate this wait.mind says it’s over but still heart says to wait.
USCIS follow theirs norms, let them do their work.
Looks like they are working very hard this season.
Accept what ever the result comes to us. Be patient and wait till you get your result, whether yes or no.
In short I can say, we should not be mad about US H1B visa.
Talented person always shines 🙂
Best of Luck
Is there still any last chance for Non Ad/PP/VT left ?This wait is really irritating.please somebody help in this
Our law firm confirmed they’re still receiving PP/VT today. The attorney said it will last for a few more days. But nobody knows how many~
For AD or Non-AD?
Cts any updates
CTS : Don’t apply for all the associates they promised. They Just apply for hundreds’ and share the FEDX details to rest of u guys, Unless u belong to horizontal. If not selected f_ck the SM get released or Switch Company and apply yourself.
Along with the FedEx details, they have shared I-129 form as well. Hopefully they have filed the case correctly.
what do you mean by “unless you belong to a horizontal”
LCA had 30 petitions and also the ship date was jan 30 and for some others its showing feb mid and delivery date as APR 1st. unless you get lottery rejection letter from CTS mobility team there is no way to find whether your petition is filed or not.
Instead of scanning 100 pages petition and uploading to portal , if they want prove that they genuine with visa processing they should scan and show lottery rejection to all associates who got nominated.. who needs fedex tracking and LCA copy. But to my knowledge none of Indian MNC do this.
So when we can expect the lottery results for non AD/RP ??
Most of the service based company uses H1B to hold resource.. Horizontal profitability is more when they are in US so to some extent they file the petition comparatively higher than vertical .
The best and the brightest still believes in gods? oh the irony
AD/PP
How many are still waiting? I am one of you who invested time and money with no fruitful results. Do you think we still have any chance??
Yes, we are still alive.
Waiting AD/PP/VT
I know two person who got receipt today.
Will get it, don’t lose hope.
It is over for you dude. Sorry to say that, but you have to start executing your plan B. PP is done
Chances are very less. Need to accept the truth
I still see some premium processing cases processed today from CA and VT:
WAC1614052121, WAC1614052117. PP guys still have some hope till the end of this week. Good luck and hope you get it. I am also waiting for mine.

EAC161405–5227 close to 5200 Case Receipts
WAC161395–4312 close to 4200 Case Receipts
19th
EAC161415–4525 close to 4500 Case Receipts
WAC161405–2090 close to 2050 Case Receipts, this may go another +1000 by EoD PST
The receipts getting generated very fast. in 2 days approximately 16000 ..
Fingers Crossed

Last count by now is
WAC1614052556
EAC1614154975
Still the count is going up, today VT – crossed 5000
My friend from hyd filed 3 Non AD/RP petitions, all got selected. He is now confused about which one to choose – Java Dev, Database Admin and Networking, he has 10+ yrs of cumulative experience. He is now going to live his dreams, buy Faded Glory merchandise in bulk from Walmart and $1 gifts from Dollar Store for relatives back home.
Ridiculous!!!
Most people from Andhra I know are scamsters … Not hardworking, just expecting everything..
Mind you words mate , We are indians
I agree with you..They spoil others career as well..
I do understand your concerns. few people are doing,
But u r after all
Yeah…. They scam their way through college …. Some Andhra people I have the misfortune to know, wouldn’t even know how to loop through an array …. And they are masters in computer science .. From some fake university…. And now are in some body shop consultancy …. Applying for more than 1 h1b application via these fake consultancies ….
Many of them are pathetic and just want the dowry …
No wonder the biggest scam in Indian IT …. Satyam scam … Happened in Andhra and we all know who the perpetrator was … Shiv Nadar … Another guy from Andhra ..
@No Andhra No USA.
May be you forgot that one of the top company in the world MICROSOFT CEO is from Andhra too.
if u are so talented then u shud be able to guess that its a fake news..this again proves ur statement is wrong .
100% fake news…. Regular Processing results are not yet out…. and u say that 3 out 3 picked.
Looser
You sir know more than anyone out here, infact you have reached the awareness level of yogis who have been meditating up somewhere in Himalayas for years. Now all you need to do is – Get a life!
Can you explain?? RP 3 out of 3?? No RP result is out?
Come on there is no way to get the result for NON AD/RP by now..please don’t post fake comments/info.

Appreciate it baby!
You faggot! Every girl is baby to you isn’t she? Should I call your sister baby? People like you just need an excuse to flirt! Idk how you guys get selected in the lottery when people who are much more deserving than you waiting hopelessly. Shame on you
Hahahahahahahahaha. GFY
It’s probably to use the term faggot in India. But you’d be wise to avoid it especially in CA.
True, but this Raj guy (or sorry, faggot) is amusing. All he knows is GFY… I’m sure he practices that every night after he comes back home unsuccessful in selling himself for 2 rupees!
Hahahahhahaha. FO!!
hahahahahahahahaha LOL @Raj someone is jealous right? He wanted to flirt and instead you did 1st haha nice one! LOL
@JJWatt- Mind your language!!
Thank you dear.
my employer says, they got the application returned with fees ( which means it is not selected ) DAMMM! lost all hope, I was PP AD CA.
It won’t happen that fast, check with your employer again!! After the lottery is completed only, they will return the applications which were not picked. You still got time..
I will check with my employer again, maybe I heard it wrong..!! let me see. still i broked up already listening to that news 🙁 will update you. and guys, I did receive that information from my employer and it is not FAKE. SO STOP saying all that. We are serious here, and we all hope to get select, I am sure if you were in my situation, you would have done the same thing.
Guys, correct me if I’m wrong on this.
You are right Swetha.
Yes, not that soon.
yes you are correct. All the un-selected petitions would be returned at least in mid June.
@Lost Hope
Either your employer is BSing, or you are !
No way, Non-Picked packets will return Between May & June.
First attorney will receive the Reject email. Then the package will be returned.
Yes.
Be original dude. Dont just copy paste others’ comments. Just like your name, you’re fake as well!
No way, Non-Picked packets will return Between May & June.
First attorney will receive the Reject email. Then the package will be returned.
They might be cheating u…
I think they not applied and returning the application to u
I guess your application did not reach USCIS by April 7 ( deadline) and hence was returned. DO check with your employer
As per immigration girl no updates for regular processing yet.. So non ad /rp guys pls don’t believe any fake news..
Tnx for the update!
Yes Non ad RP still have much time so relax, only PP people has to panic now.
for NON ad RP only 2-3% of game started , real game starts from today eveing or from tomorrow morning.
This is my 3rd time.
As per my experience non ad RP people can still hope until may 15
Dude, pls stop posting unnecessary things here, we are trying to have serious discussion.
I agree with you!
Me too.
Why they are posting unnecessary things like these!!
Bless you all to get H1’s.
God Bless AD Indian students.
God Bless America!

It’s California center util now
I got mine last year and the receipt notice came on the 20th, April. I was PP, VT, so please keep staying positive and believe it. It is too early to lost hope. PPs can wait till the last week of this month. Pray for you guys! Good luck!!

Is there still any last chance for Non Ad/PP/VT left ?This wait is really irritating
Hey I am NonAD/PP/CA, haven’t yet heard any update. Do you think, we still stand a chance.
Fingers crossed
Does the sevis record updates after lottery selection or after the application is processed??
I called my University and they said there is no update on my record.
Seems like the end for me this year.
Hey, you can give them the petition copy and mail receipt (Fedex,UPS etc) and ask them to provide you an interim ca-gap till June 1st.
I am in the same situation and tasking my DSO to give me the interim cap-gap.
Any one from PwC received any updates?
I am AD/RP. My lawyer just called me that he received my receipt in postal mail just half an hour ago. I am so excited right now will be enjoying with my buddies all night today. Wish you all the best for all who have been waiting anxiously
