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.

What happened to Infy. ..when r they planning to disclose the results
Are you saying that no one in infy knows whether they are through the lottery? Or are you just talking of the I-129 receipt?
Yes no one in Infy knows d result
Hi,
I made two petitions under Non AD/RP through two employers.
Both of them got picked in Lottery. I would like to withdraw one petition.
What will be consequences from USCIS and Employer?
Will there be any partial refund of fees?
Thanks,
if your file picked up no refund whether 1 or 2 or 3….
you only need to choose one employer at the end, make sure you choose right employer from both because end of the day you should not fall into queries.
I don’t know what your situation was but you took one person’s chance. I bet before you got picked you must be praying that no matter how much ever its costs I am ready to give but now when both are picked you are looking for an option to get the money back for the one you want to reject?? Such an opportunist person you could be.
True desi reflections in him!! Sick guys they are! He will be someone who will think to even visit BK or McD after going to the US! Until lottery results, people talk in different tone – once they get through, they show their true colors.

Hello Friends,
Mine was picked in Lottery but cheque doesn’t get enchashed.
Did you get your receipt number?
Guys,
Is it possible that a check is en cashed but the receipt is still not received by the attorney?
Non AD/RP
@admin Saurabh please answer the question from Non AD/RP.
I am also going through the same situation. Employer told that cheque was encashed on 4th May, still waiting for the receipt.
Could you please tell which center and when was your check cashed out ?
+1
By now you should have received the receipt, if not have your employer contact USCIS.
my cheque got cashed out on 28th April and i received the receipt on 13th May., So there is a two week difference.
Non AD/RP,
If the check was cashed but receipt notice not received, then employer should contact USCIS ASAP. Also, if they can access check copies online, then the receipt number should be mentioned on the back side of the check.

MRCC Pune?
They got office in pune as well? Wow…!
By the way, i had very bad experience with MRCC Thane Office last year. It got denied after RFE bcoz they were not having requested Client letters with them.
And don’t expect any visibility from HR ppls.
Good Luck…!
Hi ,
When they informed you lottery result last year and when you received RFE?
I received mail on 7th May about selection. That set then no further communication from MRCC until I informed them about RFE on 13th July. After extensive follow-up with them finally somewhere in Aug they told its abt client related letters and attorney will take care of it.
On 5th Oct. they responded to RFE & got denial notice on 27th Nov.
The End…!
Unfortunately your name is not there in the list in which attorney shared all receipt numbers. So please wait until we receive the package back to our office…..
…

Individually notified by Visa Cell or list sent to Managers only?
You r from which location.
how many got selected in first list? visa cell already sent notification to candidates?
Details sent to your RMs
Check with them.
Unfortunately I’m not in first list 🙁
This is final list.. who got notification mail , they are lucky.. who didn’t get, they have to wait for next year.. i m also unlucky among others.
AFAIK there will be 3 lists. Hoping best
This is confirmed boss. There will no more list. if you feel there will be another list then All the best for your hoping in that list.
Any Updates on Portal or any individuals mail too?
List is not released yet. somebody is creating the rumors don’t believe.
It’s not rumour.. I checked with a Team and came to know, that one guy selected there.
Guys we have waited for so long…Just a matter of days after which we will know the status. Please be patient! Don’t spread/believe rumors.
My gut feeling is that by June 10th all will know their status. All the best!!!
Stay calm and trust destiny!
This news confirmed from visa cell only. total 1500+ selected.. this is first and last list…. already published the letter to candidates… ping to visa cell and tell ur GID , they will tell the confirmation. even ur RM have the list …
Ok… I didn’t get any update. So i think its over for me. All the best for the guys who got selected.
Please update if anyone has received approval or RFE – Non-AD/ Regular. I wish all the best to all who are waiting for the lottery results.
i got RFE for in house employment :/
Is it for Nonad/regular?
Ad/PP/VT
Non-AD/RP adjudications would not come out until late June or so. You have to understand that PP has a higher priority due to $1.5k they paid. And by saying late June, there have never been any proof on the exact date or the order of results. So please be patient mate
My friend and I were approved this morning.
Non-AD, PP, CSS
I checked with my employer, they told they are expecting receipts till June 1st week and also told that the game is not over yet.
Can I still have hope?
They might be expecting them until June 1st week. Until and unless they get back all the packets, which is usually around the 1st week of June, they keep their hopes up. But the chances of getting them after this week are pretty slim. Now whether or not you want to hope that some miracle is going to happen is up to you.
Raised AHD , Got update from GI team that the receipts received at US office and There would be emails sent to those whose cases have made it to the lottery and receipts received by them. There on the updates will reflect on the individual GICS records.
Infosians please wait till the next season starts…
Don’t lose hope
Thanks,
Baba
Hi
I have not received any confirmation from the employer for selection of the case in the lottery till May 17, 2016.
Does it mean that now the chances are very less ? or Should I remain Hopeful for few moredays ?
Regards
Gaurav
Now the chances are very less and hence whoever have not received any news yet on lottery , should move ahead. If by any chance you are picked up and get the news in future it is like sone pe suhaga. So guys plz move ahead any surprise is most welcomed.
Guys,
Is it possible that a check is en cashed but the receipt is still not received by the attorney?
Non AD/RP

Any update from Capgemini???
No, waiting
Its month end
How much time it take to get petition approved once it is selected in lottery?
2 weeks to 8 months
Raised AHD , got below reply “The receipts have come in hoards and the team at onsite has been ratifying details and collating a list / report. We would update as soon as we have a clear list from these sorting or receipts received at our US office. There would be emails sent to those whose cases have made it to the lottery and receipts received by us. There on the updates will reflect on the individual GICS records.”
Did any of you got any update from infy GICS? Seems the same status remains same for me
Hi CTS,

Dear Admin,
While filing the petition i mentioned that i would liek to go for stamping in New Delhi, now i am on a long term project in another country and want to know if it is possible to go for stamping in the US Embassy here
Is it possible to change the Embassy for genuine reasons like employment/transfer etc
Please suggest
Hi, Yes you can attend for stamping at any place you want. It does not really matter what you filed in your petition. Same situation was faced by my friend and got stamped successfully.
Same here
To Admin/Mr. Saurabh,
Agree with other people’s replies that you can attend anywhere. However, if you go to a 3rd country, then you have to check w/ the embassy/consulate there about their policies on TCNs (Third Country Nationals). If they allow you to attend H-1 interview there, then go for it. Else you would have to return to home country for stamping.
Any receipts today??
No Updates, still waiting. Hoping for the best.
still any hope?
@ CTS Guys,
Any receipts today?
I checked with Global Mobility team today and got an update that there will not be any more batch of receipts. We can wait till month end. One or two receipts we may get before end of May
Hi all,
May I ask if there is still a possibility to get receipts to-date for Non-AD/PP? Thank you
When we can see the approval notice for Nonad/reg .
Dude , even you know its Fake, and juw becoz u wanted it to be true , God cant change it and stop asking questions on the genuineity coz nobody gonna prove as they dont work for u..
Try Netherlands, heard Strip clubs r better
Admin, pls lemme know if i am correct
Anyone from SYNTEL got any update from ODC??
No updates yet. Do you have any idea if some one in syntel received any update from ODC?
No updates from ODC, situation @ Syntel offshore is not good so they may postpone/hold the result for while.
I am also waiting for updates from ODC. Not sure where the communication is going to come from. ODC or through the EMs
No updates yet. may end of may or June first week .
Yaaay, guys i got the mail just now from my employer stating that your petition has been rejected.
Thanks USCIS for Ruined an year and a sincere thanks to Saurabh who wasted my 2 months by making me more active here even more than in FB and twitter
Anyway just wanted to reveal my avatars that i played since march 10th before i signoff

Pissed Off MNC guy
USCIS doesn’t ruin anyone’s year and Saurabh doesn’t waste anyone’s time. It is your personal choice, and yours alone in both situations – getting into the game thinking that there only is one outcome. USCIS did not ask you to apply for H1 and Saurabh sure as hell did not ask you to spend time here leaving FB and Twitter (sure you would have gotten a lot of info out of FB and Twitter regarding the progress of this year’s H1 lottery and processing). It is half ignorance but you proved that it is more than half by blaming USCIS for doing its job and Saurabh who is trying to pass on information and help people. Always look for a better opportunity and put in your effort, but stop holding another person responsible for the obstacles presented to you in your life. Not a healthy attitude to go by!
Ahhhh! I remember you stupid guy….
You are the one with all sort of wrong application counts which risen everyone’s hopes on the blog. Would like to see your analysis for H1B year 2018 again?.
Any one received update from capgemini FS BU ?
I have asked one of last year’s h1b applicant he said he got his h1b info on 29th May-2015 from capegemini HR.
Don’t know this year when capgemini immigration team shared the h1b status to us.
Anyone got any update from capgemini immigration team or HR.
Please update
No updates 🙁
No Update 🙁
Some of them employees form Capgemini/Igate got receipts details communicated ( not sure how accurate this information is – I have seen couple of people commenting on this website in the earlier pages). And also I know people who got receipts details communicated around 1st week of may for last year.
Not sure why we need have to wait till the month end for this year. Did anyone ask mobility team??
I asked mobility team, they said check status with business manager. I raised a ticket which is open since last 2days.
Asked my senior manager, but no reply from him.
These guys sucks, they are not at all transparent. Few people here are saying, they got the receipt, but how genuine that news is, I am not sure.
Cap process is slow, as i know one person from last year, he got his receipt details on 2nd Jun and he is US rt now….
IBMers, anyone else received receipt yesterday?
One of my Friend in IBM received last night, His is 3rd Attempt.
Mine also 3rd attempt still waiting
I received it at 2:00 AM this morning.
No..Still waiting NON AD/RP/VT
AD PP CA. Case approved on May 16. First time applicant.
So PP results are also coming out. Strange that people were ruling out the PP chances saying it was too laate.
Y do people suggest if they are not sure !!!

Hi Friends,
Did anyone applied through P3 Greek or P3 Technologies??? Is there any success? I have been following up with them and they said they got for others and not for my case. Please advise.
Thanks in advance and all the best for your case.
It means your application might not have been picked up in the lottery. It could also mean that your application was picked but the receipt has not been mailed yet.
@H1bhoping: Thanks for your response.
Did anyone in this Group applied through P3 Greek?
Any luck with your application guys?

Yes, he is a Fake Admin…. Original replies from Saurabh will be highlighted in Red’ish colour..
The name is fake. But not the content of the message.
What a joke !
Saurabh has been kicked out from admin role.
That is why he has to post in ordinary way, and not highlighted.

Saurabh is the admin 🙂 That comment is by an imposter !

Even me waiting for updates from niche…
None has got the mail today. Apparently they faked this “may 16th” thing.
The problem here is, they cannot let you know of a particular date and stick to it. USCIS does not promise a particular date where the result of an application will be announced. If you are PP, then the result should be in by the end of May. That is the only thing they promise. There is no solid date commitment in any other case. Your employer cannot tell you that you are not selected for sure until they get the packet back. Last year, I got my packet back on July the 24th. It takes around a month to get the package back from the date of posting, but USCIS does not tell you if it has posted your package back because it cannot be tracked. Until you receive your package, theoretically your chances are not over. Miracles happen and very very VERY less number of people get a positive response after this week. So your employer does not want to look like an idiot, saying that you are not selected and somehow because of hyper pure luck, your application gets picked. So you cannot decide some date is fake until the end of July. H1B is a game of waiting – you should wait. The only thing you can really talk about is whether or not you trust your employer.
Any Update from Infy ? Looks like they are intentionally delaying ?
Dont know the real cause but waiting is painful..
