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.

Starting from Jun and goes till Oct..
IBM Folks,
People who are selected in lottery., do you know which email address they are receiving the notification from. I talked to my case manager and he said there will be a separate team who sends the notifications about receipt number.
From the personal email ID of someone(@us.ibm.com) in your case management team. I received from someone whose name is not showing in any of the “updated by” names in INSZOOM, neither my case manager.
Any Update from Infy today
No Updates
TCS Pune folks, any update ? Haven’t heard anyone got any mail/notification from fdfu. Is it only Chennai guys who are getting notified via mail ?
no updates in pune ,it is just showing awaiting for lottery in VTS
People say it is over but my friend got it on Monday
he is AD/PP/VT
Is it true?
Wait till 16 th may. After that it is unofficially over and once you received return packet its officially over. 🙂
Lottery is over long back – its all the employers and consultancies notifying late..
Awesome bad things happen to bad people.
I dont really understand why mnc enployees r asked to wait till end of may, i mean whats happening now ??? Is it really the left out receipts are in transit now or they have decided to update in a stretch ??? Coz nothing much from anyone after last friday
Anyway am waiting for my notice , it doesnt matter what kind it is ? and this wud be first and last try but really hats off to those who wasted more than 1000 days avoiding in other words sacrificing all golden oppertunities for this bullshit program
Is it possible for any employer filing this year (Apr 2016) with offer letter issued in Mar 2015?
Say a candidate didn’t get in lottery last year .Can same employer file this year with same old set of docs including offer letter ?
Thx
Rahul,
It would be better to get updated letters to show that offer still stands, updated resume with new dates etc. LCA needs to applied again as well. If client/project letter was submitted then those dates will be outdated now.
Hi, My Name is Aminul Islam lived in Dhaka Bangladesh. I am a graduate but i want to be going to USA for Studies and green card. How kind of does well i will go there ?
There are only 2 ways 1st you can come here and take education or get a job in US based MNC and tell them to file your H1 next year.
best option would be – go and get graduate there in the US – that adds lot of value and post the studies you are allowed to work for couple of years – in the mean time you can process H1
any one from kellton tech there
I’m also waiting,
Did you contacted kellton tech? I am also waiting for result.
Did you got any updates ?
Waiting for news… Has anyone ever heard about Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI program)?

My receipt status is showing as case received, can anybody tell how when it will change to approve/rfe etc status?.. Usually how much time does it takes ?
2 to 6 months …sometimes it is more with multiple RFEs
Hi,
I just have a query. If we submit the resignation with current employer , would the employer can reject the receipt number (suppose if any luck on the coming days/notice period)received by attorney or assign to some one else? !just wud lyk to understand how it works?
I think they can withdraw your petition,but, cannot transfer to someone. I wish you should continue your employment and go to us.
Thanks!!I still didn’t receive any receipt number so far.Can they withdraw the petition as we are not sure whether the petition is picked?
Plan B,
If it is not selected in lottery then it will be automatically rejected. No withdrawal required.
if it is selected in lottery, employer can decide not to tell you and instead ask USCIS to withdraw it.
Both scenarios are possible. It depends how much you trust your employer.
Hi everyone,
I am AD/RP from Deloitte US (not USI).
I understand the AD receipts are done now, but was wondering if you have any insight re: the chances/timing for the non-AD candidate pool.
Fragomen lawyers are very frugal and cryptic, let alone unresponsive.
Thank you
My receipt status is showing as case received, can anybody tell me when it will change to next status like approve/ rfe etc???.. How much time usually it takes?
Hi Admin,
Could you please delete the abusing comments in your blog? They seem to be very disturbing for the ppl like us who follow the blog regularly for any updates. Is there a way you could block some of the words like “F*ck, Fcuk etc.”
Thank you.
Priya,
I have removed few of the offending ones and updated the filters. Thanks for the feedback.
Saurabh,
Thank You 🙂
Hi, I got the receipt from employer in may 1st week. When I checked the status it’s showing right now as case received. Can anybody tell me when it will change to approve status? Usually how much time does it takes??..
Please read couple of posts above – quite informative 🙂
… and possibly please stop asking the repeated questions – it really annoys ‘Admin;s’ answering it 🙂
Looks like the game is over for Wipro… is there a hope still?
Just Got my notification, Awesome. first timer, non-AD/RP , VT office. NC DENR as an employer.
Congrats Mega.
Hi Mega,
Can you please tell, if your check got encashed today.
Hi Mega,
Congrats! When did your cheque got encashed? This could help moving forward for those waiting.
Thanks.
I hear some of the ppl are already getting rejected notices in lottery? Is it true?
It is too early to hear that news…
Hopefully it’s a rumor .. I haven’t heard about getting rejected packets so early from last 3 years.
Mostly we can expect that to happen in June
i am on non ad/rp , applied from 2 companies, selected from one as if now, got receipt.
i dont want to select from other employer,atleast i can save money.
Hi Arjun,
When was your check encashed .
check enchased two weeks back and receipt received last friday.
Hi, my employer sent me the receipt number last week. But when I requested him to share the receipt notice, he said my case is pending and he did not share anything else. Could someone please let me know I am selected and and everything is fine.
could you pls let me know who is ur employer .. becoz my employer did the same
Appreciate your response on this please…
Kumaran,
Receipt numbers => selected in lottery.
Unless you have reasons to not trust the employer, it is ok not to have the receipt notice. You need receipt notice only when you want to be 100% sure that the receipt number given belongs to you.
Thank you saurab. I trust my employer. Let me hope for the best.
Applied through 3 companies , got selected in 2 …… Hurray
Congrats!!!!
When did your cheque get encashed?
Can you share details NOn-AD/AD RP/PP CA/VT?
When was your check encashed.
It is people like you who try to beat the system that causes countless others to lose out on opportunities. Shame on you!
Sorry if you are a fool not to try the same
Anyone from Deloitte found out if they have been selected?
there are some people who got receipts. less than 5 percent though. how come you are in AD?
I do not understand. What do you mean by how come I’m in AD?
I still haven’t heard back or seen an update on the immigration portal. If immigration girl website is true, it makes sense to give up within the next 2 days.
How do you know only less than 5 percent? Where are you getting these numbers from?
nvm. out of 20 people i know only one got selected and got the details under milestones in Fragomen site.
these numbers are based on very small data set though.
When you mean milestones, Where exactly is it in the fragomen connect portal? are you pointing to important dates?
No I think they are pointing to the steps when u open your case
I know 2 guys who got receipts, both are from VT center
How did you came to know of the center ??
As per their receipt numbers
Anyone applied from Pegaframe Infotech Inc?
Hi
I have applied through Pegaframe and was told that it is selected in lottery. But no updates since then. What’s the status of ur case.
Dream come true…this moment is called happiness… I have recevied the receipt number from my employer just now… thank you all… all the best
Congrats buddy… Me too second attempt…
waiting for good news…
Congrats Buddy.
Even my self waiting for the good news, 2nd attempt.
Crossing my fingers…
Why is Acceligent not sharing details anymore?
Atleast they should send an email every 2 days regardless
of receipts received or not. Already the lottery system is frustrating.
Moreover, the employer is also frustrating. If anyone has any updates please share.
Any Cisco India guys got the confirmation through Fragomen ?
Anyone from Value Momentum??
I got my receipt notice today from my employer.
I have been waiting for 3 years and finally got my number today!!!
Third time lucky
I am in bliss
Receipt notice or receipt number?. My employer shared the receipt number with me UT not the receipt notice. And he said my case is pending. Any ideas please?
Better to get Receipt notice and see. Because so that you can confirm this receipt no belongs to you.
Dear Kramer,
Who is your employer? MNC or consultancy? The reason why I’m asking this question is, MNC tells the lottery results after sometime where as consultancy ppl share the results immediately and I would like to know when your receipt was generated actually?
Hi Everybody,
If you are getting this email, then the below applies to you:
The chase of getting selected in the lottery was 20% and we filed 93 cases and we got a total of 19 selected, almost exactly at 20%.
We only got 3 additional Receipt number last week and based on last year where we got a few receipt numbers each week for almost 2 months, it does not seem like that will happen this year, since we got so many receipt numbers a few weeks back.
I would say that you were not selected in the lottery and the chance of being selected and getting a receipt number at this point would be 5% or less.
We will start getting files back soon. Last year it took almost 2-3 months to get all the files back. I am not sure when we will get files back, but once we get the files back there is a cover letter that the USCIS sends back showing that you were not selected in the lottery.
Once we get you file back we will send you a copy of the cover letter from the USCIS and then you have a few choices.
You can file your H1B again for 2017. The cost for the Initial cases is as below:
Scrappp… Employer is in 2017h1b Mood Already

Yikes.. come to my country and steal all our jobs. Get 61k from TCS, sleep in a shanty and don’t even get good food.
Shame on y’all. Guess what all the Indian chop shops will soon be debarred from applying H1B when the new law comes into effect, oh yea, this year we will be denying a lot of chop shop petitions..
Shameless indian outsourcing business.. !!
@USApatriot
LOL, McDonalds are there, there people like you can flip the burgers.
Is it game over for Igate ? Only 1 % of people have got receipt numbers in my BU. The count is too low. I believe it is fair to assume that iGate have provided receipt numbers to all the selected candidates.
Igate will send all receipts by 12th of May..as per information received from Immigration team….Mine BU is I&D and waiting for receipt …hope will get by tomorrow morning….
Any update from Capgemini? I haven’t heard anything yet, should I keep hopes or get moving ? Please Capgemini ppl update with your status .
I don’t even know if Capgemini has applied visa for me as the status still says, docs obtained pending with immigration..
I have lost all hopes..
Same here! You are from which BU?
There is no communication from Mobility
Im from FSGBU.. currently in the US on L1B
Did anyone from Capgemini ( not Igate) receive receipt details from mobility??
I am from Capgemini FSBU,I did not get any update yet.
Initially my HR said they will do Premium Process for our team but I don’t know weather my h1b filed with PP/RP?
Any once received response from FSBU-US account
Capgemini TS- BU – Havenot received any email or update from Mobility. However, as per the info i received from mobility for CG TS and other BU notification will be sent next week.
For IGATE and CG FS BU its already shared. But still you can keep some hopes.
For CG ppl its still a long wait 🙁

As already informed, GICS team will update the petition status from May 16th onwards. There are some false updates below stating that the results are being published in GICS for few DCs. Please understand that infosys has not yet started to update the status in any branch as this is not DC specific.
The guy in Pune DC shared his desktop and showed me.
May i know what was his status in GICS after got through the lottery?
Petition Status
Okay. But even i checked with GICS team. They said the team will start update only from May 16. Lets see.
That’s not entirely true
Did anybody from CTS Bangalore recieved receipt yesterday?
Update for CTS guys: – Today, I had a chat with one of the GM teammate and I asked if the process has over and Cognizant has received expected from USCIS. Is there any hope?
The answer I got is “Still expected until this month end”.
“Keeping fingers crossed”
CTSH1bEnthusiast,
did GM provided this update Buddy?
Yes. GM team said we can expect till May 15th and then the chances are very slim 🙂
So far no new receipts this week. Hence we can expect some good news from tomorrow. Keep your hopes guys until you see the rejection letters from GM team. Last year one of my buddy got it on June 1st week. Anything can happen 🙂
Every day passes like this… every morning gives a hope which fades away even before reaching office 😛
@ CTS Folks,
Heard of any new receipts today?
Anybody from TechM got receipt today? Still no update by Visa Cell…
