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.

It’s f***** over guys… Second time, no luck. I got a full-time offer in a private equity fund in NYC last year and I will have to go back to Europe… Life sucks sometimes but I think God (Life) has a plan for everyone. If it’s not NYC it will be London I guess…
@ sadmartin
Same here man….offer from hedge fund in NYC…and now its cleaning the toilets at McD;)
What I have to say thought that it would be best to auction the H1B slots. This way all the dodge applications will be eliminated and it should be in the US tax payers interest too to maximize their income tax.
Auction would be a great idea!
Also a way to ward off the cheap labors.
Personally I know quite a few guys with offer of 140k but couldn’t get the lottery, but someone with 70k offer but won the lottery! Really unfair.
Very valid points. If someone is being offered 140k I am pretty sure they will contribute to my country. I would welcome them.
Frankly our congress needs to fix this. Its so sad good talent like this is being passed up for the WITCH chop shops from India.

BU : FS
Location : USA: No update till date…..I have asked Mayur(HR) but he said ” he did not get any update from visa department “
Only very few have got updates. I guess only 5%. Based on the number of visa filings done for my team, I can clearly say that bulk updates is pending by Mobility. None from my team have got any updates so far. We are one of the largest teams in iGate.
Are you from metlife?
No. GE.
Any chances left?
Any updates from WIPRO? Did anyone receive notification from GIMS?
Many people got mail from GIMS today .
Mine picked up in Wipro, got mail from Gims today.?

??

Is any one from ACI infotech ?
There is no update from HR side, and they are not responding to my email.

Is it game over for Capgemini\Igate guys ?
no, it just started.please wait for your turn with hope.
Have many people got their receipt numbers ? Any idea ?
Mobility team will update status batch wise. I think by end of May, all selected candidates should receive receipt numbers or else it’s game over.
Last year by 15th May mobility confirmed that H1B wasn’t picked in the lottery…
This time also it might be similar…
All the best guys…
Thanks to redbus2us.com for providing this platform to H1B aspirants and it’s very useful…

Dont faith on stupid Nirmal Baba and all…believe in your self and you will get it.
Please comment to share some information which would be helpful…
Lottery is done, and what’s pending is the information to reach you…Either positive or negative, it is just the delay in the company’s/USCIS process…
No one is going to re run the lottery when you add Nirmal Baba … It’s sad to see how frustration drives people to superstition.
Yeah True… Totally Agree… who is that stupid Nirmalababaa ??? Samosa Stuff !!! *Complete Nonsense *
Have Red samosa with green chutney. Also donate 10% of your filing fees with Nirmal baba along with a bottle of Blue Label Scotch. Kripa aani start ho jaayegi.
my friend don’t be dishartened by negative thoughts given to you by some people;they are as ignorant as the people who crucified christ
Have unwavering faith in Nirmal Baba and see the results within no time
Any receipt numbers received from CTS mobility today?
Me, Second attempt … No luck till now…
Is there any specific timing the Mobility is releasing the receipts?
Why is this process so opaque? Can’t USCIS provide a site where sent all applications can be displayed whether selected or not… with status like Exam result….
u are right bro.
CTS Just started giving receipts.
Hardly 50% of selected candidates were informed, wait till May 3rd week
H1B CTS Data,
50% of selected candidates were informed – Do you mean that CTS got the complete list and they are in the process of sharing it?
I believe like CTS itself gets the mail randomly and they update the associate now and then as and when they get..
I may be wrong..
Anyways just curious about the source of the information…
You are right. when contacted with Mobility team , they told like almost 3000 go through and they are not holding any receipts they got. Candidates are informed as they are receiving the receipts
3000 is already done ? Please clarify. If already 3000 is done, chances are less for others.
CTS CBE,
I guess, Mobility has replied to ‘Stay +ve’ like on an average 3000 people go through, they haven’t said like 3000 has gone through. Then I guess Stay +ve has been updated that 1500 people has got their receipt numbers…
where did you get this no. of 3000. Does it mean 3000 were selected from CTS this year or 3000 have already been notified.
guys there are around 15000+ applied from CTS, so if we consider 3000 petitions are selected then its only ~20%. We can only hope to be in that 20% but 80% of us are anyways going to lose.
Tough luck guys!!!
I have applied, but till now I did not get any mail, I heard something like, if we are not getting any mail by May 2nd, its almost like…loooooooosssing…! let me know if I have to keep hopes
Any update from IBM this week?
Wipro H1b is sending mail to wiproite. i have seen my friend mail. Its true.when i called to GIMS they are saying they are not shared to any one. at lease they should inform properly not the false information

Hey Guys from Cap-G,
I have a question about VRF status. Most of colleges who i know have status “Docs obtained for validation” .
Was this case for other guys as well. or your status changed to “Case filed” or ” Pending with attorney” anything like that.
Just want to confirm whats the logic or some dark hidden fact here.
Regards,
2nd timer!!
For me its Case filed Case Filed with Immigration and Pending with Immigration
MY is docs obtained, pendng with immigration.. when cehcekd with mobility, they asked to not to refer the website as they dont update that at all…
Mine shows:-
Processing Status : Case Filed with Immigration
Pending With: Immigration
Am not sure what this exactly means!!!
For me it is saying Doc obtained for validation and Pending with Immigration.
Now really its frustrating as some one is saying it should be Case filed with immigration.. now ques is whether really they had filed or not..
Coz I got mail from H1 cap filing team on 8th april that We have filed your H-1B application for this 2017 FY CAP with USCIS..
Wondering whom to trust now ??? 🙁 Keeping fingers crossed.
If they have filed with USCIS, your status should be “Case Filed with Immigration”. Surprising to hear that status is “Docs obtained for validation”. Better to check with Mobility if they filed the case or not.
Mine has been like this from day one.. Docs obtained for validation and pending with immigration.. When asked mobility team they said don’t look into the vrf website as thr y don’t update it…
If your VRF status is still showing “Documents obtained for validation” that means, it’s game over. Mobility team haven’t filled your case with USCIS & they will not update status to cancelled on purpose. They will deliberately update it very late may be by end of June. I had similar kind of experience last year. It’s very frustrating, there is no transparency at all with IGATE’s mobility team.
Is the game over for capgemini fs?
But why would they do that???
Are you telling that if the status is docs obtained and pending with immigration, case was not filed??
Guys i have got update from immegration team that it might take by Mid of may to start sending the results to us, last year one of my friend got receipt number and details on 2nd Jun
…hope and fingers crossed
Capgemini (from TS – BU) Any update?
My friend’s receipt status –
Request for Initial Evidence Was Mailed
On April 29, 2016, we mailed a request for initial evidence for your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number EAC1614xxxxxx. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for evidence by May 29, 2016
Hi Guys I received a receipt number/notice, does this mean my case was selected in the lottery?
There are indications that California results are coming slow and VT is much faster, this is so evident from the Immigration girl’s report too. I hear some of my friends whose petition was filled in VT has got receipts but no news from CA so far (only from my friends !). Do you guys see same pattern ?
Seems only few people have got receipts from 1c yesterday, not as much of what they have sent on Monday. Expecting that most of the selected associates will receive mail within this week.
Yes, my entire project has around 32 CA applicants, no response yet.
But Infy as a whole has not yet revealed the result, so I too am not sure if that logic holds good.
Hey man..Infy will start sending the receipts only after May 2nd week.
EX infy???
and you toking about current infy gisc status???
😀
ur entire project or account??

and which dc?
