If this is your first year of H1B visa filing, you must read What is H1B Visa, Requirements, Process . Not to scare you, Last year, there was lottery for H1B season and for FY 2017 USCIS received 236,000 applications .
When does H1B Visa 2018 Season Start ?
Update : USCIS accepted H1B Petitions for FY 2018 starting from April 3rd, 2017 until April 7th. They updated that H1B Cap was reached on April 7th, 2017.
Typically, USCIS accepts H1B petitions for next fiscal year starting from April 1st. So, for FY 2018, the start date for accepting applications would be April 1st, 2017. But, for FY 2018 season, April 1st falls on a Saturday, so USCIS will accept applications starting from Monday, April 3rd, 2017. If you were wondering why called 2018, when in 2017, it is the fiscal year dates that dictate that. USCIS fiscal year is from October 1st to March 30th. So, technically the fiscal year for 2018 starts from October 1st and they accept petitions for the same 6 months before the start date and it would be April 1st, 2017.

What is H1B 2018 Quota ? Regular Cap vs Master’s Cap Quota ?
Update : USCIS confirmed the below quota cap numbers in latest press release for FY 2018.
To get some background, read H1B Quota – Regular vs Masters . There have been many speculations on increasing the H1B Cap due to extremely high demand and bills proposed for the same in the past, nothing made it through. As of writing of this article, below is the H1B cap quota. We will keep this article updated as new changes come in. The total H1B Quota as of today is 85,000 and it is split like below.
| Regular H1B Quota | 65,000 |

Out of the above 85,000 quota, 6,800 are set aside for Singapore and Chile citizens as part of the free trade agreement between them. Also, check out the article with history of maximum H1B Cap from 1990 to 2017
H1B 2018 Lottery Predictions ?
It used to be a speculation whether we would have lottery in previous years, but in the past 4 years, lottery has become common. It is very likely that we would have lottery aka random selection for H1B 2018 season. We have been writing predictions over the years and all of them have been accurate so far.

When to plan for H1B 2018 Application – What should be your strategy ?
It is never too late to start planning…Depending on your situation, you may fall in one of the below categories and the suggestions are described below.
- 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.
- Working Professional from outside USA : If you are a working professional outside US, planning to work in US, especially on H1B visa, your best bet is to find Multinational companies ( MNCs) 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. There may be many people already in-line for these visas, you need to plan carefully so that you are given a slot in the company’s filing for your next season application.
- Other H4, L1 Visas : If you are on these visas living in USA, 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.
For FY 2017, we have put together a Step by Step Plan on How to apply for H1B 2017 Quota, it gives a guideline on the planning and what steps exists.
How to find H1B Visa Sponsor for FY 2018 quota ?
This is probably the most asked question by everyone. It can be a tricky decision, you need be very careful to avoid fraud.
- 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.
- If you are professional planning to arrive in US from outside America, it can be really 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
We have an article that we wrote for previous season, you may read article How to find H1B 2017 Sponsors to find out various options.
What is H1B Visa 2018 Fee ? How much does it cost for the company ?
The H1B fee varies by the size of the company..As of FY 2017 season, it can range anywhere from $1,600 USD to $7,400 USD + Attorney Fee. On December 23, 2016 , USCIS increased the H1B fee component of base filing fees, which was $325. The below table is updated with the latest fee updates from USCIS. 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 from FY 2017 quota. If any changes, we will update this accordingly.
| H1B Fee Component | Fee in USD |

| Immigration Attorney Fee | Varies from $500 to $3000 |
H1B 2018 Lottery Results – Checks Cashed, Receipts :
One of the most asked questions is when will I get to know the lottery result for my petition. Well, this depends on many factors and there is no set SLA or date. To put things in perspective, last year, USCIS did a news alert indicating that they have returned all the rejected H1B petitions on July 8th, 2017. So, you can expect the last date for receiving final lottery decision around mid July 2017. …As we had about same number of petitions filed for FY 2018, it may be slightly earlier or even later in July or even early August 2017… Few of the ways you would know, if you are selected in lottery is that, if the check that was filed with your H1B petition was cashed, or your employer gets the actual physical receipt notice in mail to them. If you filed under US masters quota, SEVIS update is another indication that you were selected in H1B lottery for FY 2018. Ideally, your receipt numbers should arrive within 1 to 2 months…but, you never know, until you get a reject notice to be sure !
H1B 2018 Case Tracker :
Did you apply for FY 2018 ? With premium processing suspended, it is quite hard for applicants to know the general status of everyone to understand their situation. We have put together a tracker along with good graphs for analysis. It is completely anonymous as we do not capture your case number or any personal information.

New President Trump Administration Impact on H1B Visa 2018 Quota?
We do not know, if this news release is directed by Trump administration or not…but, on April 3rd, 2017 the start date of H1B season, there were set of new announcements made by USCIS to report and prevent abuse of H1B program. Check out USCIS New measures to report, prevent H1B Fraud . Besides this, as of the today ( article updated date), nothing has been officially ordered or specifically implemented by New President Trump Administration. There are many speculations on how H1B program will become tougher with higher wages, quota limits, etc… but, nothing has been officially signed. We will update the article as new updates come in.
Various H1B Bills in US House and Senate – Will they be passed for FY 2018 ?
There are few bills that are introduced in 2017 and at various stages in both house and senate. There are many confusions regarding the same bills like the minimum wage will go up to $130,000 USD, etc. Fact is that nothing has passed and there are very slim chances for them to get passed before start of FY 2018 season. You can check H1B Bills Tracker to get more details on current status. We will keep the article updated as new things are passed.

Are you planning for FY 2018 quota ? What are your questions ? Add your thoughts.
Let’s hope for the best……
New day…New week…….best of luck for all candidates…….
Is it worth waiting till May end?
I am AD. Checks have not been encashed. No response from lawyer or employer. No Sevis change till Friday. Should I keep hopes? I am super anxious.
Give it another couple weeks.
My employer has filed H1b (non-AD) and I am yet to receive any update. Good number of my colleagues already received confirmation of their H1B. Any idea, Uscis is done with communication to ppl who received their H1’s
Non ad is not yet done. There’s a good week or two before losin hope. It’s too early for non ad.
My employer filed me for the second time. Still no update. Is it still worth to wait or look for another options ?
If your second option is running away in days… if you cant wait for even till may end..then sure..you should definetly go behind your second option…
Is it worth waiting till May end?
I am AD. Checks have not been encashed. No response from lawyer or employer. No Sevis change till Friday. Should I keep hopes? I am super anxious.
AD is close to the end, but there is still some hope, especially if you filed at CA service center. Give it another week or two.
My employer has filed H1b (non-AD) and I am yet to receive any update. Good number of my colleagues already received confirmation of their H1B. Any idea, Uscis is done with communication to ppl who received their H1’s
NonAd is just getting started. Give it until mid may before losing hope.
If you’re ad then there is still hope but not too much, especially if you filed at Vermont. If you’re non ad, then there’s a good week or two.
Still any chance for Non AD? I applied from 2 consultancies and 1 from my MNC company..My wife applied from 1 consultancy..total 4 chances..none of the check encashed till now..
please Reply ASAP
Next month Planning for IELTS for Cananda and Australia…
I am suffocating…
You shouldn’t get selected at all.. Suffocation should lead you to last breath…
Is it fair that it should be picked after you are ensuring that no one else gets picked because you are greedy with your applications? What’s the desperation about? Notice you said “I applied..” and not that it was filed on your behalf meaning you are the one pushing for multiple applications and not a merit based application. May you never get picked this year. It is evident there are no jobs for you to come and fill, you simply want to come into the US to transfer to someplace else. Please stop jamming the h1b for all others.
I hope Canada and Australia call out your bluff too. People like you don’t deserve to be in India forget about states/Australia/Canada.
I can help you here if you give me the names of the consultancies and MNC you applied through, I can follow up with USCIS on your behalf.
Hope they choose both petitions, cash the checks, and then deport your sorry soul back to your junkyard.
Good, suffocate. So far with a subprime junk college degree.
@Manyata ….becouse of u many genuine candidates are not selected in lottery…..
Wish you the worst buddy.
Both you and you wont ever get an H1B. fraudster
Any one rcvng receipts or any initimations of check encashments from janetha law firm ?
Hm
Hm
i dint get u hmm ?
BAL informed that they have started receiving receipts. They expect to continue to receive receipts for next few weeks….
Did you receive any update from Bal
Finally got my receipt no updated in Capgemini Assignment Portal…
congrats. you are from which account ?
Which BU ?
At what time as per IST you got the update. Portal was down or you received an email.
Check in the Assignment Portal Dashboard or My work permits and Visa tab..
I checked on Friday at 6:30 pm IST before leaving from office. No updates at that moment. Can you tell me when did you notice the change. At what time as per IST.
Your BU ?
I am from FS BU, Mumbai location.
None from FS BU have got any updates yet.
What is the rational behind not disclosing the result of FS BY.
My guess is , Its because the Immigration Team is different between the BUs.
It’s been a week and none of us got notice. My team is working for a company which just have been mentioned a lot recently and almost all of us are seniors with hardly below $180K. Even the lowest might be $130k+.
But guess what?
This sucks badly.
@Alexa,
When its lottery, doesnt matter who you are, what you earn, where are you from and what have you stadied… only and only luck works there… its like just imagine they have 200K chits and they throw all of them to ceiling and those who stick at ceiling..got the visa….
@Alexa I think I know the company, the stock of which is skyrocketing. Hang in there, I hope your H1b comes through.
My guess is , Its because the Immigration Team is different between the BUs.
Finally dream come true was in USA on H4 -2nd attempt , one application , regular cap -check cleared today confirmed by employer .
Yet to get receipt from USCIS mail.
can anyone tell when will I get receipt ????
All the best to everyone .
H4 to H1B,
The employer/attorney should receive it within 1-2 weeks (SLA is 30 days). At times, the receipt number is also mentioned on the back of the cashed check. If the employer has access to view check images online, then they can look at it.
Both my applications got picked up- different employers. Realistically speaking , will they receive rfe or is it possbile that they both can get approved without rfe. All documents are proper for non IT position. Or is it advisable to ask one employer to withdraw the application. I am just worried that what if i ask one to withdraw and then the other one gets rejected.

Popatlal,
If USCIS suspects that the employers are related and conspired to file multiple petitions, then RFE could be issued. If the employers are obviously independent, then both should be processed independently and you would end up with 2 approvals, 1 approval 1 denial or 2 denials. All options on the table.
Thank you. They are 2 completely different employers – what if I ask one of them to withdraw the application now? Will it still affect the other?
Popatlal,
It won’t affect the other. The employer has spent their own money on the petition. Why would they be willing to withdraw? No money is refunded once selected.
Hi Saurabh,
Otha is a bad word. Could you please remove all the above comments.
It’s Me!!,
I have removed the comments. Thanks for letting me know.
Okay,so one passport number and 1+ application ..I think USCIS should not allow such application …..they should be rejected immediately
Hi All,
I was informed by my company HR that check was encashed on 19th April and I have’nt received receipt yet. How long it would take to get the receipt ? ( Non AD)
Friday 3:12 PM 04/28 in CA SC
I think it’s time we disconnect for the weekend. I’ll come back Monday morning and keep tracking this thread to check if USCIS is still cashing checks. Enjoy your weekend guys.
Why disconnect? Let’s connect in private and have some fun 😉
Sure, gimme your private contact information and I’ll connect.
Called Sevis and they confirmed that status is still active.. No news from lawyers:(
Really need a miracle. AD/CA
me too. Called SAVIS and they said status active. AD/ CA 2nd attempt
game over for Non-Ad……
why you think so? IG saying that this is just 11 – 13% of non-ad who received receipts. and it should be up to 36%. but I believe that your chance is 0%
Yes ur right…
Lost all hope…….
Guys could you please share the link to IG?
Dudette that 11% is for the percentage of Non-AD applicants that IG filed H-1B for…. Please don’t ever be an organ donor. Your parts are useless!
[comment moderated]
I’m not from Andhra….
I’m from Maharashtra….n we never depend upon luck…… this whole H1b game is played on luck……this is my 2nd attempt (Non-Ad) and may be last attempt….if rules won’t change next year……….
Seems like no one from Infy this time!! No posts, no comments… Infy got the wind sucked out of its sails…
Very good!
I am AD/OPT/2ndAttempt/BigAmericanFirm/JournalPublications/100k+
This makes me soo happy …. Fck INFY/CTS/TCS whtever … i hope who are picked get denied left and right ….
Hopefully, this is the last time we see this bodyshopper/desi consultancy bullshit … last chance for slackers/dowry-gobblers … fck u ….
Next time onwards its SKILL SKILL SKILL and salary ….
Your writing skill suck big time….
AD guys should be barred. U have zero experience. Why do u need h1
What skill are u talking about? Skill with no experience… Haha….
hahaha… really.. skill skill… i read it as silk … silk… ( heroine) and salary. i guess some of the ADs seriously lack the real time exp.. and some of them really lack skill as well. Just coz you have spent money to go to US and studied, doesn’t really put in a priority list. Actually, it looks like , you guys are the one who wanted the american dream before Non-ADs in the 1st place, its quite funny ADs talk too much. 😀
No offence meant bro… But having an AD degree means nothing more than the fact that.. you were financially stable enough to afford it… and ground reality is and we all know US degree’ s are much easier to crack than Indian counterpart.. Peace to all.
@KannadStrikesBack,
I am a software professional working for a major Indian outsourcing company based out of “Namma Bengaluru” for the past 7 years. I have worked very hard to learn and increase my knowledge base in the field that I chose to master. I proudly say that I work for a major Indian outsourcing company.
Stop being self obsessed. Just because you have an American Degree it does not mean you are patented to have an intelligent brain. You were lucky to have the finances to support your education. For heaven sake stop generalizing your accusations by blaming these Indian companies. I know many of my own friends who just go to the US to get some random degree from a US university and portray themselves to be Einsteins and Newtons. Then they shamelessly brag about being superior to the equally hardworking Indians working here in India looking for a brighter future.
There are many here in the Indian Outsourcing companies who are full of intellect in their respective domains.These companies do not make billions of dollars just by chance or by luck. They just don’t land up with projects worth billions of dollars. There have to be some really smart people who make it happen and majority of such work gets stream lined to the ground level.Give them their due credit.
Period.
@IT Guy from Bengaluru,
Well said.
I agree and all your points are valid but what about people who invest in fields besides IT. Worked for 4 years to earn my degree 7 years of Indian and overseas experience. Got my H1 on the 4th attemp. With 15 years of experience I still had to loose against someone who had fake Indian experience no advance degree but was just lucky to get selected in the lottery.
The entire world does not only run on IT there are other fields and people who are experts should be given a fair chance.
Peace
@Peace non IT,
I completely understand your point. The whole lottery process is just not right. In my opinion visas should NOT be granted only on the basis of luck. All deserving candidates miss out because of this.
But when someone says that big outsourcing companies have illiterates and don’t deserve to get this visa, then I have a problem with this baseless statement of theirs.
What USCIS can do is to find out a way to filter out all false and duplicate applications;
may be manually – tedious and time consuming process,I agree. They can also include stringent eligibility criteria for applying. They will then be able to bring down the numbers. If the applications are still exceeding the congress mandated 65k, then there is no other option left than to conduct the lottery.
We all need to go through this as there is no other option.Every one [deserving candidate only] is on the same boat. This way we can at least make sure that these visas do not land in the hands of undeserving and false candidates.
@KannadStrikesBack,
DONT WORRY THE FLIGHT YOUR GOING TO FLY WILL CRASH. ..howz it ??
Half of the c2c jobs are becoz of Infy TCS wipro CTS…u say f** , I wish you should get in lottery selection but shouldnt do job on either of above company’s
Ha ha , keep.courage to deny there offers saying u slanged them over Internet
There are infosians, but they know very well when to react and when to expect.. cheers to all.
@InfyLegend – Infy started updating the results in the portal. There is a stage movement for me to petition status…
One of my colleague got receipt received mail from BAL today.
Non-AD / CA centre.
Reputed US company. Her salary will be above 110K+ for sure.
I am still waiting 🙁
Its my first time to apply. the company and the lawyers are both going to recieve notices right? both, if you got picked or not?
No,,, only 1 notice is sent as per my knowledge
They might share information with each other though like scanned copy .
Just one, most likely the attorney.
i’m itching to give my lawyer a call to ask her stuffs. hahaha. frustrating
How about ask her out 😉
🙂
Nothing has been finalized…please DO NOT have a feeling that today is the last day of receiving receipt notices…last year till May end very much people kept receiving receipt notices..No math No prediction works for receiving receipt notices as no one has the actual figure that how many total got the RN s till now
I know you all know all these but still feeling restless..Please eat healthy and stay healthy;you all genuine and deserving one going to get it..
I am still waiting for it too ??
exactly! 🙂
Hi All,
This was our 4th time & were waiting desperately.
My company informed that the check got encashed.
Sharing & reading on this blog was very helping.
All the bst to everyone. Hope every body can make it.
Congratulations! Was it CA AD by any chance?
Any update for Non Ad/CA today?
Still waiting!!! Do we have any chances left 🙁 It’s Friday & USCIS will announce data entry is completed by earlier next week.. One more year of struggle to maintain our status here.. My OPT will expire end of this year.. Not sure wat I’m going to do next 🙁
Same situation buddy. But I have hope for next year. I work in Research (AD/OPT), big American firm. Hopefully next year, consultancy Golti crowd is hit on the ass. Indian body shops and american desi consultants body shoppers will not reap as much benefits as they have this year.
Next year all deserving genuine, non-fake degree ppl. Who have the guts to speak about their domain and field of work to any immigration or USCIS person will def be at advantage.
Cheer up!
Like your name
Same here. I do not have any more shots at this. This is the last time for me. My first thought this morning was- ” Its either today or I’ll need to re-evaluate my family’s future”. Its almost lunch time here in CA and the CA SC would be closing for the week soon.
If they send out your receipt today, your attorney might not get it today..so there is still hope for next week.
Don’t forget USPS is slow…
I was actually thinking more about the check being cashed than receiving receipts today. Cashed check reflects immediately. If that doesn’t happen in the next 3-4 hours (CA SC work hours) then ……. I don’t know what then.
Yes there is still hope, especially for non-AD and AD/CA. And we don’t k ow when the data entry will be complete. USCIS never announced a timeline about that.
I suppose USCIS CA SC cashed a whole bunch of checks today. Mine wasn’t one of them. Really disappointed .
Has anyone got a receipt number for H4 to H1B application?
U mean your name is picked in the lottery and u just waiting for the receipt??
Still Waiting guys…..I am non-AD now i have 1:1000000000, chances…….
Got my reciept notice today.
So I finally decided to make peace with lottery results. I thought AD game is over and I was on my way. Although this was my 4th attempt, but honestly I was now less worried and concerned, and this was helping me feel better. But just received a call stating cheque was cashed today. So the game is still ON and I was told that we can continue to expect receipts until end of 1st week of May.
All we need is to feel better and relaxed. Luck will certainly favor you !
Wish you guys luck too !

Still waiting dude. Do you know anyone who has heard from them?
No Pramit, no one from my firm heard anything from them yet and reply to the emails as well 🙁

Sure will do, is your Lawyer initial’s CL by the way?
Hi Pramit/Mark, any update on your end? I’m still waiting…..
Hi Saurabh,
Apologies if someone has already asked this.
Will the SEVIS status change to pending only if you are in OPT extension or is it for all OPT students .
Mine says active and i am NOT in OPT Cap Gap extension yet.
its my 1st OPT.
Mark,
If petition was filed w/ COS from F-1 to H-1 and is selected, only then SEVIS status would be updated to cap-gap extension.
My SEVIS was just updated with receipt number WAC171435**** . AD/CA .
Does this mean I was picked in the lottery? From the what I’ve been reading here, I think I am! But wanted to make sure.
Same, I tracked my receipt number through the USCIS website and it says that my case was received. So pretty positive that we are in.
Yes, you are in. I got a note that my SEVIS was updated yesterday and today I got an email from Fragomen with my receipt notice. Congrats!
Thanks to the God
Hi All,

Yes, don’t lose hope. My check was cashed 10 days ago, today, I just got the physical receipt from the HR. They are soooooooooooo slow, I strongly believe MORE ARE COMING!
Good luck on yours, guys!
Any checks cleared/sevis updates today?
Once selected in the lottery, is there a chance for the petition to be rejected? How likely is that? This for a Tier 1 company based out of Seattle. Just wondering if I should start planning to relacate.
It will go for approval. If everything is order, you will be approved.
I am non-AD and my DSO just mentioned that there was no update with my SEVIS record. My lawyer and company didn’t mention whether check was cashed or not. Does that mean I am not selected?
Just got my receipt a moment ago. My petition was filed in Vermont and having seen so many VT petitions come back over the past 2 weeks I was losing hope but if anything this has taught me that there is absolutely no identifiable methodical process in how these receipts get sent.
Literally all you can do is wait for that email. I never asked my lawyer or DSO (that would have stressed me a little too much if they gave me an answer that wasn’t clear).
1st time applicant, finance field and currently on OPT. Not sure if I got selected AD or non AD since I have a B.A and M.A from the US.
Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
Anyone applied from vejars technologies?

When did you get the mail about your application has been sent to USCIS. I received it on 6th April just suspecting if my application reached in time or not.
Check in “My Work Permits and Visa”
Congrats to you too! You are from which bu ?
Forget it. Saw your comments.

This s an open forum…
