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.

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 ?

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 |
| Base filing fee | $460 |
| 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 |
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. It is community contributed data, the more you add, the better for everyone, including You !

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.
Hahaha nice going Admin. You deleted my comment but didn’t delete @CTS or @CTC’s comments about spreading the fake news. Seems like you got hurt by the bitter truth of my comments. Maybe you are also a part of those fake resumes that float around stealing jobs from well deserving candidates.
Stop being such a hypocrite and stand up once for what’s right. If you really wanna show your “power” of deleting comments then delete the ones that are spreading rumors and panic among those who are eagerly waiting for any kind of news from USCIS.
What are you talking about dude? Stay calm! Your comments are still there. Sometimes the website doesn’t update the page so may or may not see your comments sometimes. Just relax and hope all genuine candidates get picked.
First of all, I have not kept fake experiences in resume .. so you need not judge me..
But we should learn to respect all people and all kinds of work… Even though they might get jobs by submitting fake resume… most of them are building their career by learning and working ..not just by sitting idle… it’s just for entering they might fake…
All the best for all the hard working guys out there….
Dude I did not say anything to you. Why are you taking my comment so personally? But it is very frustrating what these body shops do. I have no issues with people getting a job. I have also struggled a lot to land a job. So don’t tell me “most of them are building their career by learning and working”. Do the ethical thing my friend.
Keep watching IPL dont miss, have fun….. and check the updates in redbus2us……have fun in challenges and in work……..keep rocking aspirants……..nothing is permanent………. 🙂
Delhi Daredevils are the best
I might be completely wrong. But it seems like this site is used majorly by body shoppers and was designed or is atleast used at this time to promote how to get h1b by hook or crook.
Again, I can be completely wrong. But if true I hope you site goes down with the fake consulting business. Not sure how Infy/ other body shopping companies can live with this..
Cheers and happy weekend guys atleast till the time this comment gets deleted 😛
nana karte pyaar,
It is neither used nor run by body shoppers. Check About RedBus2US. Long time ago, we went through the US education and immigration journey… This blog is an attempt to help everyone going through the same and let it be a platform for others to help one another…
He did the right thing. You should be put in jail just for the fact you’re sulking – look at you. You’ve made a fool of yourself. Do one thing – lie on the bed and keep staring at the ceiling and cry.
What is USCIS up to?
If there is already a lottery what can be the possible reason USCIS is not disclosing it?
“If there is a lottery” ??
We don’t know..
There is no mention of lottery from USCIS this year when compared to previous years communication. What does this mean
https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-reaches-fy-2018-h-1b-cap
https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-reaches-fy-2017-h-1b-cap
You’re right!
We all missed that slight difference!
What do people think?
No one missed it. There is a huge ongoing discussion/debate going on about this.
Oh wow, you’re a genius. How did you find that link?
My school informed me that my status is changed to “Pending” and gave me the receipt number, but not able to check status on USCIS website. My H1 application was for Master Cap-2018.
May I ask: are you on OPT currently?
Thanks!
@h1b2018
Yes
Chill maaro bhailog, hua to hua nahi to bhains ki aankh.
This year no lottery. Petitions are selected based on merit based

Hi CTC,
I guess u need some sleep.
Please stop posting these fake stuffs !
This URL Does not exist, it is created by one of the user to mislead people…Take it easy, no need to check it !
It’s NOT funny at all to share non-verified news. Could everybody afterwards kindly include more details when trying to shock the world?
@CTSWaiting & @CTC,
Stop spreading fake news. Jokes are fine. But a lot of people’s careers are at stake here. Do not fool around. Stupid consulting company employees on contracts with fake resumes. You are the real reason why Americans blame us for stealing their jobs. Go learn something properly and make better use of your lives.
That is what those ppl are doing everyday, building their careers on their fake resume fake background / talk about fake news and say bulls**t to clients.
It’s their lives, so hard to change. pathetic.
It’s high time that we see some changes in the H-1B selection criteria so that we can filter out dumb f@cks like them!
Survival of the Fittest.
Consider they are also humans, Your projecting urself as if your the only one person on earth who is Genuine.
They fake themselves for survival, Project themselves Better.
Now say – What is your Problem ????
CTS,
I can understand your situation. I was the same when I was a teen when I used to derive happiness by playing such non-consequential pranks. But then I came off age and developed an understanding to differentiate between good and bad and realized that these pranks could only make me happy for a few minutes maybe seconds. I’m confident that just like others you’ll mature and outgrow yourself. May peace be with you. All the best!
Total applications received this year are 95000
Source please?
Souce?
souce？ sweet sour sauce
CTSWaiting guy its 95993 actually, u missed some numbers.
Maybe in your dreams…
These numbers looks BELIEVABLE (based on the recent impact on IT companies (Indian and US based – Mark my words the impact here is massive. its only who are a part of the system are aware of it )! would you mind publishing the details of the same and the source.
In case you are kidding, then YOU can Just CHILL ! 😉
CTS Nostradamus.
4/14/17 UPDATE – We are continuing to see checks cashed, now for both service centers. They are all Advanced Degree. Also, someone is spreading around a FAKE screenshot from what looks like the USCIS website saying how many petitions were filed. Check the bottom right of the picture and you’ll see they copied the old info from 2015. Please don’t share it unless you verify it!
Looks like they started with AD’s first…
Which is perfectly logical. They will process 20k ADs based on some internal merit/lottery system, throw the remaining ADs into the Regular pool, and process the same merit/lottery again.
This is still very good news. Skill, education and experience finally matter.
What is an ETA case number ? can it be used to track status of filing /progress ?
4/14/17 UPDATE – We are continuing to see checks cashed, now for both service centers. They are all Advanced Degree.
This time even uscis doesn’t know what to do with application and they are waiting on trump and trump like Modi doesn’t even know shit about H1b management lol
Oh shit ..
Only 106,031 applications recieved
All the best guys
Where did you get the number?
Hi,
Weird thing happened. I was informed by my school that my student status is extended to 9/30. They also gave me a receipt number. I tried the receipt number on USCIS website, and it shows” not valid”.
Does anyone know what happened?
Hi,
Weird thing happened. I was informed by my school that my student status is extended to 9/30. They also gave me a receipt number. I tried the receipt number on USCIS website, and it shows” not valid”.
Does anyone know what happened?
what do you mean status extended?
Are you on post completion OPT ? and you EAD end date was extended?
Yes. My original I-20 had an end date of 5/17. That is my graduation date.
I’m not qualified for an OPT because I used it up in 2014.
My school told me my SEVIS record was automatically extended to 9/30/2017 on 4/13/2017 11am, but the receipt number is not even valid.
What happened…..
Wow ! that’s definitely some good news.
“My guess” is that they are manually checking all Masters applications and hence may need time for the same.
And hence extending the end of EAD to buy time
I think I can say: congratulations
Oh really? ? The receipt number is not valid. Don’t know what happened.
I hope it’s not false “good news”.
I have a strong feeling that that’s a good news… Are you currently in F1-OPT status?
I’m currently on F1. My status ends on 5/17/2017.
Are you on OPT or not? Thanks!
No, I’m not.
I haven’t graduated.
SchoolKid,
This would be case when you become eligible for cap-gap. Happens when petition is selected and it was filed with COS from F-1 to H-1.
Thank you.
I think I’d better wait for another few days to verify if my case is selected. It’s really weird the receipt number is not valid on USCIS’s website.
Hi Saurabh,
This cap-gap can be applicable for L1 to H1 also???
SK,
No. Cap-gap online applies to F-1 to H-1 cases.
Which school? Galgotias?
I am an opponent of random lottery and waited patiently till now.
Now I am getting restless. With the information we have at our hands I now have a strong feeling that random lottery is completed now.
The reason USCIS may not be announcing it is to avoid hue and cry in the media. They will silently inform the select candidates.
US MNC. 4th attempt. Leaving USA next week. 🙁
Dont lose your hope
Guys lets be hopeful and be patient , What I know from speculation is 100065 is the count of application filed this year. Please dont quote me on this as this can be wrong and just speculation. Nothing is confirmed till we hear from USCIS.
Lets hope numbers are less so that our chances are good.
Hoping for best.
What is your speculation based on? Any assumptions/data?
Buddy I don’t know whom to babel I’ve and what to bekive there are so much of false information floating .
Just trying to stay positive right now
It’s people like you that create so much speculation with baseless claim which creates panic among people that have no idea that its just BS that you just made up. STOP !
If you would have reached my message with completely it says it’s is just speculation and don’t trust it.
I am keeping myself calm and positive and not abusing people like you are doing.
I just shared what I heard not sure right or wrong and mentioned can nearly as well wait for us is to announce and don’t believe in it
It is more than likely that USCIS has started H1B processing. At least ~11,000 ‘Petitions for a Non-immigrant Workers’ have been updated in their website as recieved between April 11th-13th.
(From- WAC1713350001 till WAC1713354712; From WAC1713450001 till WAC1713454825; From WAC1713550001 – WAC1713550547; From WAC1713250090 – WAC1713250986)
Like admin told it could be for all types of Visas (H1B, H2A, H3, L1, O1, P1,P1S, P2, P2S, P3S, Q1, R1, E1, E2,E3, H1B1 or TN), but I don’t think 10,000+ cases were filed during the H1B processing time. There could have been more I-129 petitions which I haven’t looked at.
All the best for everyone who applied for H1B this year.
Good going dude… let’s hope for the best….
Hello Guys,
I am curious to know how many Master’s cap petition were filed in the last couple of years? I understand USCIS does not give out this information but anybody with any sort of estimates / inside info?
Thanks
We don’t know that exactly but according to Immigration Girl’s fb video last night, Masters applications are way higher this year for their firm…..
More than USCIS it’s wonder to see Saurabh or admin being silent .. Probabily don’t have much in their tank
Nobody knows anything. Probably its sensible to keep quite than to unnecessarily speculate.
H1bPredictionRi8,
2 words for this – Spring Break.
Haven’t heard anything as of now. My bold guess would be something other than random lottery happened this year. Otherwise they should have issued the routine announcement like they have done for years.
Any uptade Kumar?
Nothing official. As you all know, ImmigrationGirl Blog did report that one of their Masters Quota petition check was cashed… Which means that the particular petition was picked in lottery. Speculation : Even if the full lottery process was not done by yesterday, at least Master’s quota first round lottery seems to be done by yesterday, otherwise the check would not be cashed….Maybe the lottery for regular quota was not done as of yesterday…Last year we had the H1B 2017 Lottery 236000 petitions news by April 13th, this year we are past that date…we can expect news anytime…All we can do is wait for USCIS.
If you randomly check WAC171335XXXX or WAC171345XXXX statuses you’ll see thousands of receipted I-129s on 11th April. I corroborated my observation by randomly checking numbers in increments of hundreds and thousands. It is highly unlikely that such a large number of cases were Non-cap or transfer cases only. It most likely means that petitions were selected randomly or otherwise and those finally selected would have 11th April as the Case received date.
You mean to say, selection is completed .?
It’s probably complete or substantially complete.
Good Obeservation
Dude , you are bang on . the selection process seems to be completed or at-least it’s on verge of getting completed . Hope all the genuine candidates get selected and all those who filed multiple applications get rejected .
Well, I-129 can be filed for all these visa types : H1B, H2A, H3, L1, O1, P1,P1S, P2, P2S, P3S, Q1, R1, E1, E2,E3, H1B1 or TN…The receipt numbers can correspond to any of these visa types…
Of course you’re right. But is it normal for the service center to process >3000 non-cap I-129s across categories you just stated on a single day?
Why USCIS is not disclosing anything ?
I guess they are doing something behind scenes (like merit based selection, eliminating computer programmer level 1 titles, etc) and cannot explicitly say it. They will silently say process complete and send receipt numbers
Saurabh/Kumar,
Please make sign-in using facebook mandatory for posting comments. Even though the number of comments might reduce, you will have a reliable/valuable comments. With the current approach, people are behaving like mob.
We are not concerned about number of comments…Our goal is to have a good platform for anyone to exchange views and get questions clarified…adding an extra login or registration will not help that and we do not want to manage any of the login details of users…There are always few people who cross community guidelines…we just hope it does not go out of hand…
A very valid point. I think a little bit of humor here and there is fine in stressful times like these.
All participants should make sure that you do not target any body on racial and religious aspects.
According to the lawyer Chen
As 13Apr17, several H1B applicats’s check has been cashed by USCIS vermont
Great!!!
Finally waiting for a good news. This is my second time. Guys be relaxed. Stay happy.. God bless you all h1b aspirants…
Guys this is official, 10 check’s of my employer got cashed this morning.
Hopefully USCIS will officially announce the process and petitioners will start receiving receipt numbers by next week.
It’s a good news that checks are getting cashed, I am more curious to know which method they used this time to select the petitions.
Already big companies filed very less petitions and USCIS might hv eliminated entry level programmers and computer programmers(as per LCA). So it would hv been easy for USCIS to select petitions.
What is mean by entry level? Thats very true..Petition filled is very less from top companies.
Entry Level Programmers or entire Computer Programmers eliminated this year???? Can any one confirm.. I am having 5+ years of exp and title as COMPUTER PROGRAMMER 🙁
It’s the official announcement from uscis on 3/31.
Entry level ‘computer programmer’ is not eligible for h1b anymore.
They USCIS hasn’t revealed it clearly. The spokesperson just said, entry level computer programmers aren’t eligible.
What is the wage level in your LCA ? 1 or 2 ?
I’ve 6 years of experience and my job title is WEB DEVELOPER and level 2.
No where it was mentioned as all computer programmers are ineligible ..
@ predictor
Please mention if all of them were masters h1b or regular cap h1b.. india based company usa or US employee…please answer
Hello,
All AD’s , US Employer
Hey… Predictor..
How many AD did your employer filed this year?
You have any idea how many were filed by your employer in the AD cap?
Most recent update from my employer – U.S. Big Four in NY
1. USCIS has indicated this year there will be LESS petitions than last year’s record number. However the exact number has not been released.
2. However there WILL BE lottery, for both AD and Regular Degrees.
3. Firm is expecting to receive receipt from USCIS in Late May / Early June. I see people in the forum said they start to receive receipt, which I’m not saying they are lying, but is unlikely to be cap-subject petitions.
I am AD from accredited US universities. Employer is US based. my job is management consulting.
Good luck everyone
Thanks, we have similar background.
My firm will hold conference calls today and on Monday to talk about this. It’s kind of hard to believe your firm said there will be a lottery since the processing had started already. But nothing from USCIS yet…
Good luck!
That’s wat my employer too said…
Guys I speculate count will be around 230000 this year … But its my guess
Hi Saurabh/ Kumar,
I believe there is enough of nonsense being written in your forum in the name of “BEING FUNNY”. In the act of making the moment lighter a few of the Commentators are crossing the lines of indiscriminately using abusive verses with regards to each other’s place of origin.
And just because of these stupid comments, a lot of people who rely on your website to get some valuable information on H1B, will be mislead.
I don’t think so, this was the reason for having the forum. I guess it is getting too much now. Kindly treat this as a request to please STOP it !
For everyone in the Forum, please keep your comments in line with H1b & kindly read the following lines, before COMMENTING:

Need to focus only on H1B related discussions of information.

Some Jerk is commenting on Hyderabad and also appears to be Fake guy who always make senseless comments on Telugu people.
Completely Agree..

When lotttery date and number of applications received will be announced..?
So curious to know as my H1B filed by my employer.
It will be announced today. I saw Trump in California service center picking out chits with petition number. I overheard terms like “H1B”, “Lottery” and 2018.
I guess he is doing the lottery personally this time around so that he could get the right people in to America.
God bless you all!
Well said
I just spoke with my husband and can confirm this news indeed is true. This year the H1B selection process is assigned to Secret Service, they are provided with all the tools to pick only the highly skilled H1B applications.
First let them get a definition for high skilled, all skills are same it only boils down to the availability and demand.
Wish this is real! I have friends from Carnegie Mellon, Purdue who were not able to make it through the lottery in last two years and this year is their last chance, I sincerely hope this turns out to be true. Side note, what is the criteria “good” vs “bad” university?
What’s your source?
Where this info comes from?
How to prove this?

No news for today. A joke to chill out. We are all stressed:)
In a poor zoo of India, a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg meat a day. The lion thought its prayers were answered when one U. S. Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to the U. S. Zoo under H1b visa. The lion was selected (he was a genuine applicant non AD) and was so happy! He started thinking of a central A/c environment, a goat or two every day and a U. S. Green Card also. On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained few bananas. Then the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India.
The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered. The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him,’Don’t you know I am the lion… king of the Jungle…, what’s wrong with your management?, what nonsense is this?, why are you delivering bananas to me?’ The delivery boy politely said,’ Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle but. . did you know that you have been brought here on a monkey’s visa!!! Moral of the story: Better to be a Lion in India than a Monkey elsewhere:)
Thank you the genuine lion for bringing us relax and laughs out of stress.
Buhahahahaah..This is so hilarious..Oh dear that was funny…
Hahahaha
