What is the H1B Visa 2019 season start date ?
Update : USCIS will start accepting H1B Petitions starting from April 2nd, 2018 as per their official update on their website. In general, USCIS starts accepting applications for the next fiscal year exactly 6 months before the start of the next fiscal year. USCIS fiscal year for 2019 starts from 1st October 2018, which means they should accept applications for FY 2019 from April 1st, 2018. As April 1st is a Sunday, USCIS should accept applications for H1B 2019 season from April 2nd, 2019.
What is H1B visa 2019 Quota for Regular and Masters filings ?
As of the date of writing of article, the H1B quota is as below. This is also called the H1B Visa Cap. You can read more at What is H1B Cap ? Regular vs Masters quota ?
- H1B Regular Quota : 65,000 visas
- H1B Master’s Quota : 20,000 visas. ( only US Masters eligible)
Also, of the overall 85,000 visa cap, every year 6,800 visas are set aside for the citizens of Singapore and Chile as part of the Free Trade Agreement with them. There were few bills part of Comprehensive Immigration Reform that are not active in Senate that were proposed from Obama administration days to change the cap count to 110,000 and Masters to 25,000, including potential to make H1B cap extend up to 180,000. But nothing has moved and all are dormant. Nothing new has been proposed by the new Trump Administration regarding changing cap count. To get a glimpse of historical cap count changes, you may check H1B visa cap count history from 1990 to 2017
Will there be Lottery for H1B 2019 season ? Lottery Predictions ? Filing Numbers ?
Update : USCIS had lottery for FY 2019 quota and received 190,098 petitions.
Looking at the historical trend of H1B filings, cap reach dates, it is quite possible that we would have lottery for FY 2019 quota. We have written a detail article looking at historical data, Trump administration new policies like ‘Buy American, Hire American’, students on OPT, H4 EAD removal rule, etc. factors. To know the prediction numbers and details, read the article: H1B Visa 2019 Lottery Predictions – Analysis, Graphs .
When is H1B Visa 2019 Lottery Date ?
Update : USCIS Conducted Lottery for FY 2019 on April 11, 2018.
There are two things, one is when the H1B petitions are accepted for the lottery and second is when the actual lottery is done. H1B visa petitions for next fiscal year would be accepted by USCIS from April 2nd, 2018 for 5 working days until April 6th, 2018 to be part of the lottery. Now, the actual lottery date depends on various factors depending the volume of petitions and USCIS load. It can be anywhere in second week of April. For FY 2018, the actual H1B Lottery was done on April 11th, 2017 . We can expect anywhere around the same date like April 11th or April 13th.
How to find H1B visa 2019 Sponsors ?
It can be very hard to find a good employer and convince them to sponsor H1B to work in US with major unknown like H1B Visa lottery. Anyways, you would be in one of the three scenarios, if you are seeking a H1B Sponsor.
- F1 Student in US : You can find an internship or co-op at an employer who can sponsor H1B visa and ask them to sponsor your H1B. You can continue to work on OPT once you graduate as well. You find the list of H1B Sponsoring companies using the tool
- International Professionals : If you are outside of US, it can be tricky with all the latest rules by Trump administration. Your best bet is to find an multi-national company ( MNC) and work through them to sponsor H1B visa. You may have hurdles inside the company with all the internal process, many waiting, etc. But, it is up to you to negotiate and ask them to take a chance. Many try the IT body shop route, where they ask them to file H1B. Rules have changed in the last few years and it is very risky move and can jeopardize your US hopes. Read comments on this H1B Companies Reviews article to get an idea and beware of such consulting companies to avoid fraud.
- Important Note : We, as RedBu2US, DO NOT Provide any H1B sponsorship or guide anyone using professional services or fee. If anyone approaches you by saying our name, it is pure FRAUD…beware !

Do you have any questions on next H1B 2019 season ?
Has anybody experienced this, i got my receipt yesterday bu the sevp portal is not updated?
What is your current OPT end date?
TCS people, do you get any update from manager ? I am from BOFA account, no update yet. Any other accounts getting status update means please share it in some common place. Thanks in advance for your help
This is so bad. We live in year od 2018, and AI is about to take human position. But we have to depend on this ridiculus system.
Why can’t USCIS post who won the lottery or at least let us seach by the name and birthday? Why does everyone suffer for many weeks. So bad
So true. The waiting game is even more ridiculous than the lottery system.
Amen, bro or sis, sooo ridiculous. They know already who got picked since the same day they conducted the lottery. Let the people know so they can go to sleep in peace, ffs…!
This is ma man with day 1 cpt from harrisburg university with ISEM as his/her major 🙂 Cheers mate 😛
If it’s first master degree that’s fine , second master degree that sucks it’s only for once cpt or opt and it’s related field.. second master then hunger games over. pack up
Do you guys believe that the data entry for ADs is done?
I am AD and haven’t heard of anything yet. Do I still have chance???
I think the next week will be all Non-AD receipts.
Hi Guys,
Today (04.26.18) my employer told me that my check was deposited. This was my 2nd year but 3rd attempt of trying my luck for H1B. My petition was filed under Master’s quota. Last year, my H1B cap exempt was denied from same employer (I work for a consultancy but there is no vendor). Reason for denial was that they did not recognized Client as cap exempt eligible organization. Do you think if I will get any trouble for previous denial? I am working for the same client for a over an year now.
My other question is- do they process picked petitions based on Last name or First name? Is there any this kind of criteria at all?
Thank you in advance!
Also, I am working on Day 1 CPT from May ’17.
Anyone who got the receipt , where you able to check the status online, which website and did it recognize the number and give a status?
You got a receipt? Are you non-AD? Cali? haha #imlosingit
Still no concrete NON AD news, right?
This sucks.
It does suck!! I’m non-AD too, no news here, and in my circle no one has heard anything yet either (all people I know who are applying are working for different startups in California, so I guess that is processing center for all of us). I guess the fact no one has said much about non-ADs yet is good, there’s still hope. 🙂
Maybe today is the day, or tomorrow, or next week… haha.
Last year I got my rejection in June… but by mid May I was kinda hopeless already. There’s still time.
But yeah, we’re all going a bit crazy with the waiting… xD
Hi
Can I change to day 1 cpt during my 60 day grace period? My cap gap expires on 01 june and university has a start date of july 13. Plz advise.
Bro if you already know that your petiton is picked stay away from CPT because cpt has always faced added scrutiny.
If you are non AD you still have a fair chance of getting selected in the lottery. Its totally your decision and What you said is right. You can always go for july 13th with 1st day CPT. Your call brother, just choose wisely.
Till the time your employer/attorney doesn’t come back with an answer… hold on to your hopes…
After all its a bloody manual process in this 21st century…
Given that it’s a lottery there is a probability that your receipt is being sent in the very very last batch….
Its a game of poker… stay in the game till the last card opens….
Best luck everyone!!
I am on stem opt extension and valid till jan 2019.
There was no update in sevp portol and also not heard from employer about the check .
checked with DSO, she confirmed my h1b is selected in lottery and gave me the receipt number.
Good luck to everyone waiting for the results.
My Opt ends in Jan-2019 & DSO informed that they wouldn’t know any information about H1-B status unless Opt expires before 10/01.
Can you tell me how your DSO checked it ? Thanks
Hi,
I am currently on cap gap till 1stJune. But if I don’t hear back or get a receipt stating I didn’t get selected in lottery. will my cap gap extend till July 28? Please advise.
Nah bro it won’t because everyone will receive a notice by June 1st (Either approval or rejection). Its highly unlikely that you won’t get a rejection notice by June 1st.
@Leo @Just Asking @Another applicant – Nagpur aur Pune se aathey hain saare BSDK tum jaise….
Hi All,
Received receipt number from employer, the same has been confirmed by DSO.

>OPT Ending Oct 2018

Thanks,
SEVP updated on 04/22. AD, First time. Most of my AD friends got their SEVP updated last week. I think USCIS is processing the AD cases now and once it is done, they will start with Non-AD cases. So Non-AD guys, please be patient.
When was your STEM-OPT expiring?
I’m in Initial OPT and it is expiring on 06/15. I have also applied for STEM extension.
Can these TCS and CTS or wipro or wheatever guys stop commenting – First of all your question are repetitive , second of all your portals insync or zoom or whatever that is, it works totally different from people in US. The kind of question you ask and increase the crowd with stupid question makes me feel like you will die if you guys don’t get H1b.
This is not about deserving or not, its just plain stupid. Instead of positing things you should just review 3-4 pages of comment on this forum.
Common guys you know how things in India work. You guys are also well aware of the fact that Indian companies don’t even apply for half of these candidates and they just say they did. That money is showed up in their business transaction to they management but in the end all the money gets pocketed by middle persons who are involved in the filling procedure.
Wake up, Its about time.
Anyone from CTS / IBM / Wipro hear back ? I am specialized but unable to scroll down or read
[something about praying]
I can scroll down but i am too lazy…. i am even too lazy to finish this se
Got my receipt today from the lawyer! Finally I was waiting for this day for last three years! The most weird thing is I want to be super excited and jump out of my chair thinking I do not have to think about the backups but I just don’t feel like that. Haha just like okay what’s next! But definitely glad that its done and I wish all the genuine candidates best luck and hopefully you all will get it.
Oh and my INSZoom auto generated my email receipt I believe.
AD or Non AD?
AD
Did your stem opt date change on sevp portal ?
Yes it changed on 04/13/2018. And my I-20 shows the Cap-Gap with the H1B pending status along with receipt number.
Got the same feeling here
so u guys think all AD’s are genuine. bull shit
Does any Non-AD applied through BAL Global ?
Did any non-AD apply, or Has any non-AD applied? Does is not a universal starting word for questioons in any tense
Another waiting day!!!
Hi IBMers,
Any one got update from Immigration team?
No update from My Project.
Not yet
No Update..still waiting !!!!
Any non-ADs got notification today??… Thanks.
non-ADs must wait till Monday to get first notification, because not even 50% of AD receipt have arrived.
Are you from USCIS?
Let’s say the online receipt notice has date 4/12 then after adding that case to USCIS portal, it says last updated 4/17. How long does it take to get the physical copy of the notice?
10 minute silence for everyone who thought SEVP end date update was lottery selection.
#ripYourH1bDreams
Is it not the case then?
No. Cap gap happens by default for all eligible. Unless you receive receipt, you are fhhcuuked !
its not happened for all. go through the rules
ignore that sadist fu$#…i got my sevis update to 9/30 on 16th and my receipt on 23rd. So bottomline, if you are on cap gap and your sevis is updated to 9/30, it means you are picked up in lottery
I would agree with SEVIS updated to 9/30, that if you got the date extended you are most probably picked up in the lottery.
Cap gap extension gets extended to June 1st for all Candidates whose OPT is expiring between April 1st to September 30th. It applies to all candidates irrespective of First OPT or extension. They say June 1st because that is when the data entry is almost over. If they get picked in the lottery then the cap gap extends to Sep 30th. if not, it reverts to previous expiry date.
Hi I have created whatsapp group for CTS guys …please we will share updates in that ..share this to your h1b nominated friends
https://chat.whatsapp.com/BZe0Bgfi8HtEgB53VjUHzN
Pls join https://chat.whatsapp.com/BZe0Bgfi8HtEgB53VjUHzN
Man Don’t put hopes with CTS man, these are not providing proper documentation.
My case was 2 times denied, because of GM team with bull shit people.
AD, my OPT expiration date on SEVP was updated on Apr 20th and today received a notice email from my attorney, fragomen.
Good luck to all~
congrats!. what time did you get the email from fragomen?
It’s Today 5:00PM.
Can i expect 20 percent chances for non-AD , i think we almost have it this week ..
I am not from shit consult like T cs or I nfo or indian giving them selfs like level 5 4 or desi shit.. but from direct us client
Any one whose sevp portal got updated on the 20th get their notice?. I am still waiting.
SJ,
Can you can you please tell me what SEVP update look like? How did you chek it?
Hello Friends.
How do you check your Sevis ? Where should we see our active status is updated?!
Thank you.
When you got your OPT you should have received an email from SEVP containing a link to sign up for your SEVIS portal.
Let’s say the online receipt notice has date 4/12 then after adding that case to USCIS portal, it says last updated 4/17. How long does it take to get the physical copy of the notice?
LMAO
Check not en-chased yet. game over for AD ?
Bro change or user name or your question. Btw wait until the announcement from USCIS about completion of data entry then pretty much its over for AD.
Naam likha hai ‘Life is not about H1b’, to saale idhar kya maraa raha hai be, hypocrite ki jhaant.
bhai Leo – From nagpur by any chance ?
naw dude, although I’ve been there and I love that place.
BC lottery mein pick bhi sale aise chutiye hi hote hain.
Anyone’s attorney is Green & Spiegel?
If yes, did anyone under them get H1 yet?
Anyone received update from Seyfarth Shaw Law LLP for AD or Non-AD petitions ?
Yes i called the primary attorney and she confirmed my check got encashe
@USI : Are you AD or non- AD?
May I know who you are referring as primary Attorney.Can you give the name ?
I did not receive any. No updates on the website too.
Any Non-AD got news from CA center?
Just got Sevp updated to 9/30. VT, AD, 12:28 pm, 4/25.
My first time. Good luck to all, do not lose hope.
Thanks to all the people in this group, you guys have been a stress reliever in this anxious times.
Hi Roman,
Congratulations…when was your original OPT end date?
6/30
May I know your good name please because we are in confusion how there are doing whether it’s with alphabetical order
Last name starts with “D”, so I think they just update it randomly.
Hi Roman. How did you check your SEVIS? Online? Which website?
Thanks.
This is my 2nd chance, no SEVP or Attorney update yet, I am AD and loosing hopes now. My wife has H1B, This is far-fetched but if next time my H1 still doesn’t get picked then what are my options ? Ofcourse I can stay in US transferring to H4 and ask my employer to file again (4th time) for me, but would they do it as I wont be employed to them anymore…?
Depends on who you work with. Very difficult if it is a big brand/reputed firm. Very easy if it is a desi consultancy. It would also depend on some other factos including has your team already filled your position with another hire while you are out of work on H4.
Makes sense, thanks! My OPT ends in 2020 Feb, so I can work until then and there would be a small window of 2 months after which H1Bs will be filed…anyway who knows. This is assuming my H1 hasn’t got picked this time and next time the fate might repeat. But its better to think about the worst thats what they say.
You will be out of status in Feb. so you will have to wait till October 1st in that case before you start working again. you will get Cap Gap ONLY IF you are on OPT/STEM and your case is filed and pending.
You are right, I am aware of that. I dont mind not working until October 1st but it’d be great if at least someone files my H1B although I am on H4.
For California center applicants who have had your SEVP changed, what time of the day did SEVIS change your OPT end date? Thanks.
For all the people who have got the SEVP updates I have good news. So somehow I managed to get my DSO to print me a new I-20 and it clearly shows the H1B pending status and Receipt number. I got my SEVP update on 04/13/2018 and I just now got my I-20. So if you have the update on SEVP, I am 100% sure you have got picked up in the lottery. So far I don’t any update from the lawyer regarding the receipt. Also upon checking my receipt number, I can see the status of the case as received. Have been waiting for this for three years. Too close to packing my bags. At least one step done!
Hey Raj , was your opt end date after 9/30 or before and what update was done in sevp ?
It was before 9/30. It was 08/31. And now it reflects on my OPT as well that the date has been changed to 09/30.
Anyone got updates or picked from California laguna niguel center
Hello everyone,
My attorney filed for my change of status to H1B under the Masters Cap. I am an Advanced (AD) degree holder, working in the US on my OPT, which is due to expire on June 30. Neither my attorney nor have I (I work for a start-up) received an update on the application. My application is filed at the Vermont Service Center. I am concerned with the future of my career in the United States, as this process of the lottery is apparently out of my control. I have three questions for people who can speculate for me.
1) How hopeful should I still be about expecting a SEVP update/ receipt for my H1b application?
2) Is the Vermont Service Center sending out receipts, or is it only the CA one? Also, what about updates for Non-AD applicants?
3) (This is a tough question to answer) By when would one recommend, that I plan to leave the US (the idea is to minimize costs of moving, flights, selling furniture, etc.), without knowing the status of my application?
Sincerely
Tough situation.
1) No one really knows, but once the “data entry has been completed” notice goes out (usually 1st week of May), SEVP should be updated.
2) Both are, check immigration girl for updates. Non-AD receipts are few and far between at this point though, but that could change today/tmrw
3) If you have no SEVP update or notice by 2nd week of May, I would think seriously about relocating – my opinion, i’m sure others will differ.
1. very possible. it is still early for receipt notice. so hang in there.
2. Both service centers have started issuing notices.
3. tough Q, but keep hopes till mid to end of may.
I tried calling Caldwell hall but didn’t get any update on my case. you can try your luck. they get to know receipt no if your case is selected.
All the best! GoBigRed!!
Hey there.. this process sucks and my good wishes are with every deserving candidate going through the process in ethical fashion.
To answer your question –
1. SEVP updates are in process and frankly USCIS has been very proactive about updating status of those on OPT ending before 1st Oct 18, since they launched the portal this year. I think based on that chances are already slim and by end of the next week it will almost be certain for OPT cases which way they are going.
2. Its both. It always is both.
3. People while waiting for the result can extend their OPT until June 1st even if they havent heard anything on the lottery result. Unfortunately since your OPT is already until June 30th, you may not be able to get this benefit. Consider your biggest financial constraint (rent, lease term, or other contracts such as phone, tablets, internet, cable etc) for making the decision. You can always sell your stuff within 15 days or so and find a decently priced flight. You will also have around 60 days to leave the country after OPT expiration – so there is no rush to sell your stuff or buy flight tickets as of now.
So my advise – wait until mid may for sure and then start making plans for your next step.
Some data about the progress of case processing:
This year, I submitted 25 petitions, out of which 5 has been picked. Assuming USCIS takes 15k buffer (10k for reg, 5k for AD), this means they should have processed ~30% of cases at this time.
There’s still hope and don’t give up yet!
Bro put down the damn joint and sober up. Reality will hit you like never before 😛
You are one unlucky dude.. first of all 6th time.. second only 5 selected out of 25.. you, sir, are the most unlucky dude i have ever seen…
and i agree with previous comment… put that damn joint down
hahaha yeh H1b lottery process ne ab logo ko poora bhookha nanga bana diya hai.
Dude, you are so lucky. I filed 19 petitions but didn’t hear anything back yet.
How much did it cost you to file that many??? My lawyer gave me a batch discount but it’s still really expensive.
any one received H1B CAP status update from GICS Team in INFY .
I am from ACSD team. I received my receipt. I think it happened alphabetically.
Receipt number got updated in GICS site or you received via mail in infy
can I have your infy id ??
My OPT expires after 9/30. Still my SEVP got updated on 20th with the employer details. I have not heard anything from the lawyer yet . Is Anyone on the same boat ?
My employer details were updated on 9th april and 13th april. The history says it was updated by SEVIS. The lottery was on 12th April. My opt also expires after 9/30. I don’t think employer details update has anything got to do with lottery selection
I’m in H4 right now and seems like trump will revoke the H4 EAD soon, if I don’t get h1b then I have to sit at home and wait for green card which we will not get in next 10 years.
You can still enroll in a masters program, get OPT and try for H1 in future. For most of the others, that is not even an option. The only option for them is to leave before that ‘decade’ even starts.
Stress buster!
Who has the saddest H1b story and is not afraid to share and laugh at it 😉
4th timers? 5th timers? love of your life married someone else because he had green card? 😛
PS: Trolling is ok..name calling is not!
Got Picked in 2016 and 2017, got denied both the times !! Please don’t Troll on this, it’s just a story of My life.
You mean you went through the lottery but your case was rejected in the end? Why? 🙁 That is really sad.
Oh man..that is cruel..
I find it hard to believe you are a legitimate applicant if your petitions are denied twice. I wish people like you refrained from applying and making it hard for the real applicants, just to get denied again if picked.
i think I know you, did that got picked this time.,
I filed a single petition in FY2017 and it wasn’t selected. Then I filed 3 petitions in FY2018, NONE of them were selected. This year, I filed 4 petitions. No updates yet.
going by this trend you’ll beat number of petitions by infy/CTS in a few years 😛
My girlfriend dumped me for a H1b guy when we were dating in India. After 4 years, his H1b is denied and they are returning to India now.
I just finished 3 years OPT with my employer and My H1b has been picked now. Joke is on that b!t(h !!
ha ha… could have been the winning entry….but it has a happy ending 😉
Applied one last time – not picked, applied one again this time – no news yet. . I am a masters student.
Such a tragedy!
whcih scale should i use
5th timer here. Kinda use to it now. Lost the craze for h1b years ago, now i just do this to see how unlucky i can be 😛 (don’t get triggered and say why you wasting your time or increasing the number of petition).
tryng to live upto my dad’s words “sala hai hi manus “:(
Dad’s words were right on the money! 😉
I am a 4th timer too with AD.. so i am allowed to laugh at you without being mean 😛
Dude- You have not heard from your lawyer or DSO or anyone yet ? I mean honestly the chances for AD looks kinda slim but i hope you get it. Going through such a horrible experinece for the 4th time sucks. I hope you are one of those guys who gets the approval soon. i heard there were few AD cases last year who got their receipt around may end even 1st week of june. Good Luck.
Appreciate it bro. knock on the wood, this will be the lucky year for us.
4th attempt. Only filed one application every year hoping that the system will get better. 3rd Masters. No SEVIS update yet. Ab boriya bistar bandhne ka samay aa gaya hai!!!
3rd masters..boy.. you have patience.. and someone up there has been testing that patience..
hopefully you and I and other 4th timers should have mercy now..
That’s right!!! Someone has been testing my patience badly. I hope so too – we should get it this time. If not then its not meant for us.
A friend of mine fell in love with a girl in the US… he had GC/Citizenship in his mind so not sure if it was true love… turned out that the girl was on an F1 visa…
They are HAPPILY engaged now.
😀
Lol… this one had me rolling on the floor.. should have done better homework before proposing 😛
Another day starts, a new hope in the air, fellas…
So, if my company and the law firm hired by my company are in California, I assume the processing center will be the California one (WAC), right?
Still no news here (non-AD). I hope this week we start seeing tons of receipts being received for non-ADs… If anyone from WAC has news (specially non-ADs haha), post post post please. 🙂
Keep the faith man! Waiting here too!
Guys when I entered receipt number on USCIS status page it says “Case was Received”. What is that mean ? Does it say I am picked
Yes
If you have receipt # that itself confirms that your application is picked in the lottery. Why do you want to check the status to see if you are picked?
Non sense question. Its not rocket science you know. Lol
Lol. True we are not doing rocket science here that’s why we are begging in queue for H1’s.. Let me remind the entire process is like We all are sailing in general class compartment (IRCTC). Your seat is not reserved even though you are picked in lottery. Lol
How will you get the receipt number if your petition was not picked? ‘High skilled’ visa my @ss.
Any CTS guys here ?? Any update ?
Not Yet. Awaiting response
Not Yet. But last year we had some update my this time.
Any CapGemini guys portal update on MyAssignment?
No!!..Let me know if you hear or see anything in APRO portal.
Do you know anyone whom we can talk to for an update ?
I don’t know as case worker just don’t reply.
True Bro..This entire Immigration team in Capgemini sucks!! The case reviewers attitude should change and should be a bit helpful instead of behaving like Aliens who is never bothered about others.
I am from Legacy Igate and after the Igate capgemini merger, we feel like loosers. none of our queries were answered and no one bothers!! Pathetic!!
Even Capgemini guys don’t get any reply. Any update on H1B?
Non AD Folks..Any updates from Capgemini ??
Anyone from HCL received receipt notice?
Not yet i am too waiting.. status is still showing “Pending with Immigration”
Any one received confirmation in IBM? looks like non-AD notification started coming out.
none in my knowledge as of today..
Any idea, Selected candidate gets email notification or status is updated on Inszoom.
Once Receipt number is updated to INSZOOM, you will get auto generated mail.
i am checking daily INSZoom. last year mail came late for people in my acc…so check daily
INSZoom is not opening in ibm, is it working for other IBMers?
