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.

Really this waiting is killing me…..

dont worry …game is still not over…You will get too 🙂
Are you already in the US? PwC applied for me too but didn’t hear anything back yet
Hopelessly waiting 🙁
FOLLOWING WRITING COPIED FROM THE USCIS WEBSITE.
What is Premium Processing Service?
Premium Processing Service provides expedited processing for certain employment-based petitions and applications. Specifically, USCIS guarantees15 calendar day processing to those petitioners or applicants who choose to use this service or USCIS will refund the Premium Processing Service fee. If the fee is refunded, the relating case will continue to receive expedited processing.
The 15 calendar day period will begin when USCIS receives the current version of Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, at the correct filing address noted on the form. USCIS will issue an approval notice, A DENIAL NOTICE, A NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY, a request for evidence or open an investigation for fraud or misrepresentation within the 15 calendar day period. If the petition or application requires the submission of additional evidence or a response to a notice of intent to deny, a new 15 calendar day period will begin upon receipt by USCIS of a complete response to the request for evidence or notice of intent to deny.
This means USCIS should notify for non-selected candidates also. AM I right?
Hanuman,
USCIS doesn’t charge any PP fees for the petitions not selected in the lottery. What’s the financial incentive for them to inform rejected petitions quickly?
Got receipt notice today – AD/PP/VT. All the best guys!!
What????
Never think it’s still possible for PP. Did you get the email notification today? Or this was from previous days? Do you know what your SEVIS status is now?
Congrat and very happly for you!

You know what? Do not spend lot of time in this forum :). Pls don’t get me wrong. The forum gives a good understanding about what is going on. But sometimes we end up spending way too much time here which makes things only worse! This is my second time trying for h1b. This year I am limiting my time to check the H1B status to 5 mins a day. 2 mins for redbus, 1 mins for immigration girl, 2 mins to check my lawyer’s portal. You not being on top of the current h1b news is not going to affect your chance any which way!
I am still waiting for confirmation from my employer. I’m using this nickname for some good luck. Hope it works for me too…
I got call from my employer saying that my check has been encashed for Non adv degree/Regular. Receipts yet to receive. Thanks god. I was filing for h1b for last 2 years. This was the 3rd one. Finally got through the first step. I cared very less this time for the results, and only concentrated on work.
Following this group from April 1 St

Hi..

Looks like receipt was generated a few days back (WAC16141xxxxx), but the lawyers informed me today.
So all the people waiting.. Hang in there.. All the best..
I got confirmation from our management that my application got picked.
Last year I kept all my hopes and it’s not selected and this time, I was just concentrated on my work and didn’t give much importance 🙂
Hi Raghu..
Can you please post a video of what’s next for those who got selected.? Greatly appreciated.
Which company you are from Kant?
Any updates from CTS
Strange..
Did you see very few receipts generated in CSC
Also less than 1800 in VT so far…
Does this mean USCIS will soon announce that they are done with data entry….!!!!
I wish this should not be but cannot control with the curiosity of why the number is such a low today !!!!!
USCIS Innovation Award :
uscis.gov/news/uscis-wins-igniting-innovation-award
Congrats USCIS. You have done a great job!

Non-AD/RP/VT

Not much receipts today. This is consistent with friday’s.
NON-AD /REGULAR PROCESSING????
My company got 4 picked in lottery out of 30 yesterday.. they updated my friends today.
More to come.
Also Firdays are good.. only Mondays seems to be dull.. Last Monday no updates at all..
Even IG received 0 receipts.. I don’t know if it is with the floods in Texas..
Good or Bad I want the wait to end soon..
I think the wait does not end.. instead it transforms from selection to approval..
or to implement plan B
Wait Sucks!!!!
Hope All is Well…
Checked with my DSO on Monday, no updates.. Guess I missed the lottery pick.. :/
AD/RP/VT
Just to let you know one of my friend was picked in lottery and his sevis status has not changed till today. So be patient and be hopefull. May god will gives us H1b this year…..
Just received confirmation from my lawyer that my petition was picked. I am Non-AD/PP/CA. I almost lost hope since this was one and only attempt. I guess we really have time till May 11th.
Congrats!!did you ur lawyer got the mail today?
Thanks! Yes. Just few minutes back.
Great Hope for PP
Can you please share ur reciept number???
Somebody criticized me yesterday when I said I see the PP receipts are generated in VT and more in CA.
If this is true.. what I saw is true.. Good for more PP in AD and Non-AD
I saw a bunch of PP in WAC just playing around the case status portal… 🙂
Good luck folks.
Is this a reliable news. Request not to play with emotions of others.
Can you please tell me when your reciept was generated
Sorry for the delay. I dint see the messages. Its WAC161485XXXX.
Fantastic, this makes us believe that we may wait..
Congratulations!
Anyone from Experis got any updates?
Friends, if you have been linked with INZSOOM or any other commutation with your attorney , just check them also regularly to see the updates. I have been crazily waiting for an email, and have been so frustrated over last week or so. I did not check my INZSOOM profile for a few days and decided to do few minutes back. Here is my receipt was uploaded there. I am so happy now that feeling like running all over

I got my receipt from my attorney just now. He has received it yesterday evening and forwarded to me now. Can’t explain my happiness. Was waiting anxiously for 4 weeks. I can feel the people who are still waiting. He said he has received a lot of receipts and it will take some time to let the winners know. I am AD/RP/California

Just got a call with Employer that my H1B picked in lottery!!!! NON AD/RP/VT.
Only cash has been encashed yet, he is still waiting for the receipt notice. Planning to enroll in MS in this Fall semester, will use the H1B later.
Anyone from Smartplay (aricent) got picked on lottery.
Any update from Balglobal..Havent heard anything from past two days in my company.
Any update is appreciated.
I emailed them they say, they are still receiving receipts till date, but they did not mention the category.. Am non-ad/pp. Lost hopes
I am non-AD/RP/VT..I too mailed them and they said we already circulate an alert please look to that. This alert says that they will keep on updating till June end.
I too have lost all hope…
Even I sent them an email yesterday. They confirmed that they haven’t received any receipt for me.
Told me to stop sending them emails and wait for the confirmation email from them.
They prefer not to answer anything about checks being cashed. This is my second time that I applied through them. I am already getting a feeling that they might be unlucky for me.
I am from CSC.
Hi Saurabh
I applied last year for H1B and my notice got approved but unfortunately the project could not start at that time . So I could not come in USA . Now I find new project through another employer and is going to start on 23 of may .
Now my question is , my visa stamping is pending , first I’ll transfer my H1b after that I can get the stamping ,
How much time it all process will take ?
Will I be able to join the project on time?
please suggest its very urgent.
Any one applied through Logic Planet
New employer needs to transfer your H1B and once it is approved, you have to go to US consulate for stamping by carrying the approved I-797 (hard copy) of the new employer.
Yes I did.
Have you heard anything from them?
Any1 from Logic Planet and got picked in lottery?
H1B transfer takes less than 15 days if done in Premium processing. Add the number of days for you to get the hard copy of I-797. Then add the wait times for appointment. So 23rd May looks a little tight.
I agree w/ fellow commentor’s response about suggested timelines and that May 23 looks tight.
I have just received mail today around 5:25 PM…
It says, USCIS issued confirmation (receipt) notice for H1B new CAP-2016 petition filed on your behalf. The receipt number is “EAC **********”.
is everyone rom cognizant got such mails or I just got selected in H1B lottery. I asked GSD folks, They told me to wait until they receive further document.
hey,
We didn’t get such a mailer. You got it from GIS team?
Regards,
Your colleague.
Hey I got it like a notification from 1c
2016 not 2017
I think you got selected in the lottery, per my question before, go to the USCIS page and check your number is says it’s been received so that means you were selected and they are going to work on it. I guess
Yes, I check uscis site with the case receipt number….. it says “Case was received on April 11, 2016.”
My colleague got it around 8.15 pm. QEA. non AD/RP. VT Center.
Is it from CSC or Vermont ?
Really… How come USCIS knows your email id?
Isn’t it 2017 cap!!!!!
Not criticizing.. Just to keep myself on track.
I don’t get why people say RP is over. If you look at IG’s data, across all categories, RP is barely over halfway point. Yes, I knew IG’s may not be accurate. But it’s the only consistent indicator you can find now.
I’m AD/PP/VT. My SEVIS status still “active” today. Even I think I still have some chance till 5/12, very slim chance…
Anyone from Deloitte whose H1 got applied this year?
AD/RP/CA
Yes me. Do you know any AD/RPs who got it yet?
Iam from infy….waiting for the result. This is my 3rd attempt. Today I have called GI team and asked for the status . They told that that haven’t received any updates on lottery process. Let’s have a whasapp group to know the I dividing status from each DC. My no is 9581221166. And the group name is H1BFROMINFY2017
How many guys are there in Group ??
My number is 9618616661 please add me in group…
Just now i got call from company that my caheck encashed…so happy…thanks god..and good luck who are waiting…..
congrats buddy…
My employer received a form I-797C, notice of action, I have no idea what does that mean can you guys please help? you all have way more knowledge than I do.
Thank you
You have been selected in the lottery. Congrats !!
That means u have selected in lottery ..
Brainless fellow
What’s the chance of approval after being picked in the lottery?
AD/RP/VT
Receipt date: Apr 11
Notice date: Apr 19
Good luck to all!
People still are waiting to know whether their fate has been decided in the lottery. You moron wants to know about approval. Come in 2 months !
god is great… check encashed yesterday…NONAD/VT/RP
HR informed me last Friday when I asked if checks had been en-cashed, that money for the filing fees for my petition has indeed come out of their account. But they also said that this does not tell them whether my petition got picked or not. I have still not received a receipt. What do you guys think, am I picked or not? If so, when can I expect the receipt?
Non ad/RP/VT
don’t worry. If the cheques associated with your case have been encashed, that means you have been selected in the lottery. You will receive your receipt any time
Thank you for your response. I finally got it today! Good luck to everyone else!
This is the email I received from the lawyer few minutes back.
“We just started receiving receipt notices for regular processed cases; however, we have not received a receipt notice for your case. We have submitted a request to our bookkeeper, to see if any of the checks submitted with your petition were cashed. Your petition was filed with the Vermont Service Center. ”
3rd timer. Probably unlucky for life.
govinda govinda !!
What is govinda govinda….?
game is over !!
I don’t think so especially for non-ad/rp which just started. It is only 0951 central time.
Good luck to all of us.
Data entry is almost over.No new case entered in VT centre today and no new case entered in CA centre since yesterday.Checked on Visa case tracker on uscis website.
Dear all,
Anyone from Logic Planet received receipts for regular processing. I am waiting and waiting but it’s really frustrating.
No news at all….frustrating 🙁
Same here 🙁
Fridays have seen very few updates since last three weeks
