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.

I got the receipt on friday. TechM people don’t loose hope. Tech Mahindra visa cell people is very lazy so we can expect delay in getting the receipts. we will get the receipts through out this month.
Hi, you were on regular non AD right? How they notify you. PLease provide the details.
Hey Bro… Does TechM use to update on portal or use to send mail?
Which location and and which processing center
Have you received mail from S R K Prasad Imadabathuni techm visa cell or you personally enquired with them?. Please advise on this..
Hi All.. Got an email from GIMS wipro – Reciept copy recieved. Does this means that my petition is selected/accepted?
Email content:
=================
Dear Employee
Greetings from GIMS..!
We are glad to inform you that your H1B CAP application is accepted by USCIS in the lottery process.Based on the current processing timelines at the USCIS, it may take anywhere between 3 to 5 months to decide on your application and to receive intimation from USCIS. GIMS team will keep you posted once we have further updates. If USCIS would issue an RFE (request for evidence) on your application, GIMS will contact you for information/documentation.
Regards
GIMS
==================
What kind of engineer are you if you can’t even understand what is written in the email.
Seriously…!! You got to be a big time idiot to not understand this email. U have brought disgrace to your employer. Shouldnt have mentioned your employer name
Take a chill pill dude.
This was my 4th attempt so could n’t believe anymore that i got selected in lottery . Still thank you for showing my face in the mirror for what kind of engineer i am… I will try to improve.
Yes your app is selected in lottery
You want USCIS guy come to personally meet you and tell your petition is picked in lottery.
The words from the guy… I think US should do point based system threshold for H1B, so that they can filter candidates….
In USA too, there are jobs which no good engineer would like to do. And these kind of people fill those gaps. So if people come through point based systems, those slave jobs will be vacant.
[Admin update: content removed]
Dude.. As I said earlier.. Please don’t put you employer name.. Its a good MNC. There must be a training which you would have taken on “Conduct and Social responsibility”. You are pathetic and an idiot we all know with the words you use in your comments. Don’t put your employer name to shame.
I got the receipt on friday..for CTS people don’t loose hope…my guess is receipts are expected to flow in for another 2 weeks..so keep your fingers crossed.
Not sure buddy about that. I heard people getting receipts for the past two weeks and it is reducing and following week, it would be very minimum I guess…
Second attempt for H1B… Desperately waiting, trying hard not to worry about it.
Hi,
To day I have got an email from my employer that “Attorney has received an acknowledgement from the Immigration authority” . Does this mean I have got selected in lottery? and my application is been acknowledged with receipt number.
Any comments will be of great help. Thanks in advance.
Clife,
Why don’t you ask the employer this? They know what they have received. My guess is that you have made through the lottery, but this is based on my translation of what your employer has said.
Tried asking them, but no reply ?
Clife,
That’s all I can say. It’s a waiting game.
I think all receipts are issued from USCIS for this year, what we are witnessing now is the communication lag along the chain from attorney to employer to applicants
Even this should be over within next few days
Let me know if there is any ecomnets applicant got selected in lottery
USA govt. filed case against Ecomnets, search google with Ecomnets h1b visa fraud, you will see complete details.

Guys my lawyer said its not yet done for AD/RP/CA. We can still expect 3-4 days more.
His predictions were always up to the marks so still chances are alive.
Hope to hear a good news.
My lawyer said the same thing last week & the week before. So you get the idea
Hi everyone,
I applied under Non-AD/RP/VT/CA. I have one legitimate employer and 4 consultancy (All of them i paid for from my own pocket except for the one actual employer). The irony is my genuine employer’s petition has not been picked in the lottery but 3 of the 4 consultancy that applied for me got picked in the lottery. Do i wait for at least one of them to be approved and then transfer it to my real job? is it possible to do that before oct 1st?
P.S I know many of you will hate my post but to be honest i was smart enough to abuse this shitty lottery system for my benefit.
Thanks,
Hari
lol so pathetic
Some one please answer my query
Hey what did you do re… you have taken others opportunity. if you could have applied only one …others could have got the chance… still that’s ok…. don’t worry your problem will get solve…
nobody cares you little crook. hope karma bites your smelly ass.
I would certainly wait. Who knows whether the USCIS will reject petitions from those fake consultancies? Better to stay on the safe side.
No grudge against you. I would probably have done the same if I were from India and were desperate to move to a developed country
You should wait until approval of at least one petition and withdraw rest if you want so that it would benefit others.
Please let me know your consultancies name .
Hari Kumar Ramakrishnaswami,
Only after at least 1 petition has been approved, can another employer apply for H-1 transfer. I have seen mixed responses about filing H-1 transfers prior to Oct 1. When the time arrives, discuss w/ your employer and attorney and then go w/ it.
This year the labor brokers and body shops are going to have mass denials of the H1B. wait and watch and then confirm when you come here. A little birdie tells me that !!
The recent crackdowns on H1B fraud, and the University fraud, folks from 3rd world countries will be scrutinised very much.
Total Light Weight… no prominence to your Comments… Total Idiotic Mannn
Silly Comments.. No prominence
I really doubt you would be able to do that. Now you are in the situation called ‘ damned if you are not picked…but further damned if you are picked’ …. Lets hope that you do manage to get an approval without RFE. Since you have 3-4 picked applications mostly you would be RFeD…. In the case you manage to be approved after the RFE , you will have to quit your genuine employer and work for the consultancy atleast 3 weeks before you can transfer.trying transfer before that will be very risky
Wat abt US army entering Iraq? They gave you visas?? Or ur govt. applied H1b over there??? Atleast Indians are trying in polite way. 😛
Any1 RP/VT/Non AD…..whose check got encased but still waiting for receipt…
My employer told the same this monday. No receipt yet
I submitted 2 petitions and 1 got picked..i finally received the long awaited email today from my attorney at 11.30..this is my 2nd attempt non AD/RP/Vermont..thank you nirmal baba!!
Hi guys,
I am currently on cap-exempt H1 and i got two other job opportunities (guys don’t curse me, i did not go through any consultancy) and both the companies filed for cap subject H1 and both of them were picked in the lottery. So do i just go ahead and ask one of the employer whom i don’t wanna work for to withdraw the application right now or should i just wait. Suggestions?
simple! just withdraw one application right now..i was in the exact same situation last year! and don’t worry about the dogs barking in this forum..most of ’em have no skills and are desperate to leave their country..they don;t deserve to come to the US
Don’t be arrogant in your words. One day u will have to think back what u said now and feel sorry for it.
There are millionaires who come to street a day. Time will decide everything.
Wait for approval. You can also withdraw after being approved also. To be on the safer side wait until both gets approved. You get more time to select the offer too.
DavidWarner,
If the employer is willing to withdraw it, then ask them to do it. If not, then let both get processed and pick one of the approved ones and join them.
Dude Saurabh,
I don’t know how you do this answering every single question. You are just awesome man 🙂 I am pretty sure you have helped a ton of people with your responses. Kudos to you and keep up the great work. I’ll try to help out by answering the questions i know 🙂
Thanks DavidWarner. I appreciate all the help community members can provide in knocking off some of the questions.
Please share your consultancies name with me
Like i said those are not consultancies. I got FTE positions 🙂
Waiting…Waiting…Waiting…
Waiting continues…….
Cant digest ..This is such a long wait for me but still struggling to go thru this lottery process.. How my petition was not selected for the past three years? Is this pure luck or these organizations are sending the petitions with any priorities? I still have hope but its reduced to less than 10%.. In case if i get the mail from my employer in next 2-3 days, i will be the happiest person in the world..
Anyone from HTC Global Services, Chennai here, this is my third attempt for h1b and out of which I have tried with HTC Global Services twice this year and last year.
Have sent mail to HTC no one has replied to it . Did anyone from HTC got any updates from them.
Looks like even my third attempt is going unlucky 🙁
hmm…I can understand it…I got picked in 4th attempt….I got email on 3rd May from my employer that got picked in lottery…But still they are receving the cases it seems..So hope for the best …
I applied from HTC did not get any response..share your number or mobile will be in touch
Game Over Guys.. USCIS is done with sending receipt numbers.. If you haven’t got update on VRF yet, it is over. Happy Weekend. Have fun, watch some movies and reduce your stress
hey IGATE/Capgemini …i have seen you posting false or wrong information over here. Before makiing any such statements please check with GX team internally properly, i doubt tht you even know about them. As no one from capgemini APPS One BU of any location has not got any update at all.
Also this VRF tool if of IGATE, so information on this for CG people will be updated late.
All CG guys donot loose hope..next week onwards things should start.

Guys i have a query.
I have got picked in the lottery.
But my employer’s contract with the client is getting over in July.
So if this happens before my visa is approved than what will happen ??
Please reply..
Your Getting visa on behalf of your Employee rite, Why worry if ur employee contract with the client. You can check with ur employer, will he support ahead for your petition.
Guys please respond if you get any update from immigration or in fragomen portal
Not sure if anyone already got
you should stick on to your employer when you step-in, not necessary your employer should stick on to his customer. the second one is not so important.
Your petition will probably go into RFE, and USCIS would ask for a signed SOW. Ideally, in this condition your organization should take care of the RFE, by sending an SOW for another client, along with LCA if needed.
Kindly update if one H1 B petition is approved for premium. My petition picked on April 13th awaiting for approval. Any clue when the approvals will be received?
Before May 30
Any1 received receipts ? Please share
Anyone heard from Tringapps? ?
I am still waiting….. No updates at all!!!!!!
I am eagerly waiting for myreceipt still no updates no check cashed no updates from my attroney NON AD/RP vermont service center.
Waheguru !! Pls help

IBM gurgaon.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa.. Waheguru ji ki fateh ..!!
Hey..congrats. What time you got the receipt? Please share..it will be helpful.
I got mail today at 10.27pm.
Mine was Non Ad-RP-Vermont
applied through 5 employers. got selected from 3. pondering over which one to go with….
ur really stupid & messing others by posting comments here. It will create anger for those who are still waiting genuinely.
Kutte insaan
Dude, just say it aloud in a room full of people waiting for H1B lottery results instead of posting here , I am sure people will be giving you suggestions about which one to pick very kindly.
This is sure for irritating others and upset .
Can you please share your consultancies name with me.
You’re the Game changer… Playing and eating someone’s life
Finally,
How you managed 5 employers?
My friend works for uscis update for CA: on Monday 5/2/16 was the last day all checks have been cashed it will still take time to send receipts for np non advanced degree all premium processingredients is complete and all have been notified. My friend applied for advanced degree regular processing his check was picked April 11 check cashed April 20 he was notified that check was cashed by his hrs on 22 he recieved his official receipt April 29 he got picked in non advanced regular processing
So you say no more pp receipts will be coming?
Yes
Yes for CA pp is done the last rounds of receipts for rp should be coming out. There is a huge possibility that rp advanced degree is done all is left is rp non advanced. If you know you have a chance in rp non advanced please speak to your school or hr to see if the check has been cashed
My case is advanced degree regular processing, I haven’t receive any notice. And I think the check did not cashed either. Is that mean I am not picked?
No not necessarily even though you are advanced degree regular processing you still have a chance in the regular processing non advanced degree and those checks we last cashed on Monday it could take a while to process so just wait till the last day which I believe is the 11th
I think your application would be the last one to get picked
Thank God…
This is my first post in the last two years…
Mine is Regular/Non AD/Vermont, picked up last week and got the receipt today from my consultancy.
Thanks for all ur support and all the best for all those are waiting.
Can u pls share ur consultancy name with me
i am non ad/RP got receipt and check enchased, so what next when will be the visa interview in embassy?

Interview will be at your home. Whenever you are free, let the embassy know
Wait till it gets approved. Interview some time in september.
Just got update from my employer… Logic soft Inc.
“We haven’t got anything after last week. There are slim or no chance going forward. But we will be able to confirm only when we get either reject/receipt. Lets keep the fingers crossed! ”
?
Logic soft is a well known fraud consultancy. Think twice before joining them
? how do you say that Lucky ??
I am a silent viewer of this forum for past few years.
I am Non-AD/Reg/VT. I was lucky to get selected in H1B lottery this year (my third time). And I understand the stress and confusion of lottery result wait and experienced multiple times.
I know how crazy this process is. It is shame to have a lottery system to choose STEM candidates in a developed nation. As you all know it is due to political reasons and we can’t do much to address this.
I personally appreciate and thank this site and its admins for their effort to help us.
Best of luck and always have a 2nd or 3rd plan ready.
Guys!!! got my receipt today at around 7 PM
got a mail from one communicator, I am from EAS-IPM banglore
Congrats!!! Do we have any hope left for one more week? I haven’t received any communication from my employer.
I have not got it either. And my employer clearly told me that if there is no confirmation by today then its Game over.
Any applicant here through ecomnets
Hey Guys,
I got a mail from my attorney today telling me that they haven’t received any information on my petition yet but they have received a mail from USCICS stating that they have completed data entry as on 02-MAY. So according to them my petition is not selected in all likelihood. Do i have any hopes?
Anon,
It’s a beautiful thing called Love. If you want more, keep asking him
Hello Everyone,
Is the game over for Non-AD/RP category? Now more updates are from people who are working in Infy, IBM etc.
So no more hopes for people who had applied through external consultancy??
what is an external consultancy? get the hell out of this forum filthy swine!
External means Fraud
Ho all..Are all results out for Wipro?/Or still we can expect !!
No..keep waiting moron..and please eat samosa with chutney 🙂
Hello,
Is there any chance for non AD/RP ?
Yes. There is chance till you received an official notification.
USCIS is the only source.
So keep waiting , but at the same time be prepared for either scenarios.
GICS team will start updating the status for every petition from May 16.
That how do you know ?? Any update from gics stating the same ???
I am from Infy Trivandrum and I already got the updates in GICS 😛
Am also from TVM. May i know when did u get the update?
I got it on May 5th night..

Hello CTS, it seems people have received mails from GM for receipts issued only till 26th April. Considering the last date as May 2nd, i guess you can expect considerable number of notifications from GM till mid of next week at least. After which, only on rare occasions it may be possible. So, keep your hope high and enjoy the weekend. After all, the world is not going to end if you dont get selected, enjoy ur day. All the best !
Caution: This analysis (guess ! ) is based on the limited data I have collected.
Yes exactly.. I received the notification and my receipt notice date 26/Apr/2016. am NonAD/RP/CA. First attempt 🙂 .. Dont loose any one your hope.. You will get it ..
Thank god ! Finally waiting period over. I received my receipt number 7.20PM IST from GM team. This is happened because of my lucky kid. 🙂 Thanks to everyone to keep on updating current status. I wish to everyone for waiting there receipt. Thanks all 🙂

Niche soft guys pls respond if u get any update
Not sure if anyone already got still in this red bus forum
No update from niche. And i dont see any positive update now
I am surprised that just one person got selected from nichesoft is in this forum…!!
Either all selected candidate are not looking into forum…or thy are nor replying here… Or there is just one selection ?
Don’t know….loosing hope ?
But the statistics of num of prople who got selected in lottery needs to be validated if it is true!!!!!
I meant number of people frm nichesoft
You are still keeping hopes….I didn’t called them nor keeping hopes
Called niche..and I got info that they will send out the emails for whom got selected in the lottery only on May 15th.
Then how come that pravin got informed?
yesterday I asked for updated status to Niche soft solutions but didn’t get any reply from them..
Now, loosing all positive hopes…
!Hope atleast they reply by 15th instead of draggin
any one received rejected mail from lottery?
not yet James.. You have to wait some more time to receive your Rejection Mail from USCIS.
You are not real. The real Ashok Kumar is dead. Here is the proof : timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Bollywood-mourns-the-death-of-Ashok-Kumar/articleshow/789364771.cms
My lawyer just replied me: At this point, it would be rare, but not impossible to still receive a notice. It is highly likely you were not selected in the lottery…
Anybody from igate got any updates from mobility today ?
Received notification. Vermont center.
which location?
Got the receipt just now 🙂
Non-AD/RP/VT
I got selected in h1b lottety ☺
Lotte*t*y :p
So much excitement for you, and hence the typos. Happy for you 😀
Congrats buddy !!
Can you tell when your cheque was encashed?
Non-AD / RP / CA any more hope left ???
I am also on the same boat buddy. Looks like that the chances are very low now. Check with your attorney to confirm whether the check was earlier cashed or not.
If till date the cheque is not encashed than it means one is not selected??
@CTS guys,
One of my friend in EAS got receipt today around 5:00 PM IST. We still have a hope.
Still waiting.
