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 ?
Anyone received Approval receipts around June 15?
Hi,
Any Non-Ad petition got approved this week?
Since EAC is issuing so many RFEs, can we discuss what kind of RFEs everyone is getting? Can anyone share their experience?
Any one got the Receipt Notice in June? Can i still keep hopes on H1B?
Got my pickup notice on 4th June, notice receipt date is 24th May. Not sure if you can still hope because I haven’t head anyone getting receipts since last week
Just curious, What is the difference between pickup notice and receipt date. Also It would be great if you could tell, When did you first heard about the notice.
Hello Every one, I know i writing out of topic but really i do not know where should i ask this question. i need help( urgent)
I am filling DS-160 form and in form there is one section which has asked have you ever been issued US visa and asked about last visa issue details.
I came in USA in F1 visa then i changed it to F2 ( in USA) then again O3 ( in USA ). Now I am again applying for F1 visa and I am a phd student. My question is about which VISA detail should i fill in the DS-160 form
All the Visas you got…..
You need to specify every single entry and exit and the corresponding Visa status you utilized while entering/staying in the US… better to be crystal clear should they find DS160 details inconsistent with the details they have…
Anyone Status changed to Approved in India….? Specially for WAC..?
No. I am waiting.. Notice date is 4-May.
Anyone from CTS got approval notice?
Nope. My notice Date is 7th may
Anyone from Accenture got to hear any news of the lottery selection?
I got but its saying “Awaiting response from USCIS”
Got to know by my friend.
Approved 12th april EAC
Random selection was done on Apr 11th and your case was approved the next day. Congrats!!

congrates.Thanks for sharing
Your from Which Country Tin Tin
Thank you. I’m from Bangladesh
Today Accenture shared lottery acknowledgement auto generated mail.
If they are saying we are still waiting for results does that mean its over?
I think they have just started to send emails. So may be you can wait till 30 june.
For my case they have said they was awaiting results? Does that mean the status is still pending or non acceptance or should we wait till July?
Go ahead with an alternative plan as there is very less chance to go through if not got the receipt till now..no offence but chances are very less
Hi ACN@2018,
Did you get your result?
Infosys… any one received receipt details ??
I am also waiting
Hi
Can anyone tell me what does it mean ? Is it that my case went to RFE ? i checked this in my account (https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant)
“May 11, 2018
We received your case
Read the notice we mailed you for more information about how we will process your case
We will begin processing your case and will review it to make sure you have submitted all of the required information and documents. We will let you know if we need anything else from you.”
Thanks
I dont think that it is RFE. This should be your initial status called “Case was Received”. Are you able to see your status here or validation error? https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do
Well I checked this out in my case status after creating id to know the latest update. I beleive its RFE since they mailed and process once they get require documents
I dont think so. Did you get RFE notification from your employer? This reflects same status to me as well for the past 1.5 month. For RFE, status will appear as below. So, yours should be in initial stage.
Request for Additional Evidence Was Mailed
On June 11, 2018, we mailed a request for additional evidence for your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number EAC18XXXXXX. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for additional evidence by July 11, 2018, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
Thanks Ricky. I would hope that whatever you said is correct but not sure internally i checked with my employer. (HCL) they said its RFE but yes i did not got any officially confirmation or any RFE notice. Any idea by when it or how much time it took to move ahead the status from the current status. Thanks for your inputs. appreciated.
We have to wait.. Per last year status, some of my friends got approval in June, July and even in Sept too…
its not an RFE message says received your case . You can check check case history option for more information to track your case
Ram or anyone, can you help on letting me know if the below service is fully functional in uscis my account?
Case inactivity notifications
We send you a case inactivity notification every 2 weeks if we have not taken a new action on your case
USCIS my account seems to be relatively newer site with loads of features evolving. So this could be under construction too. Have not tried this feature so far though!
Thanks Ram!
What is considered as duplicate filing. If I have two petitions with different employers with different requirements, these should not be considered as duplicate filings right?
Are both petitions for H1B?
Violating duplicate petitions are the ones where same beneficiary has multiple petitions with RELATED employers… and it violates the USCIS rule to further extent if job duties and skillsets are the same.. it simply makes easier for USCIS to derive those petitions as duplicates… here they see that the employer is gaming the system by flooding applications for the same job…
Multiple petitions with isolated employers are multiple jobs available in the market… so technically they are 2 separate applications…
employer A is not aware that person X is also applying through Employer B…
Status – Case was approved in https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ only. But, not in https://egov.uscis.gov.
Could this be considered as H1B approved?
Thanks
Yes that’s correct, as long as you didn’t file multiple applications violating USCIS’s latest mandate on employee employer relationship(duplicate fillings with related employers) you should be good…
To create account on my.uscis.gov/account they only ask for email address and mobile number(for security) which is NOT a proper key to tie to an application.. And there is no verification step when you add a case in your account that would tie your account to the case…
So one can create account without any worries, I find the account details more precise since it gives you the actual date they sent the “Case Received” notification… on other hand on case status page most of us would see a mid April Date (that’s when USCIS finished lottery and listing of the selected petitions)
Thank you Ricky for your help and guidance…
Is it WAC? or EAC?
Hi Guys,
Looks like my H-1B petition got approved. I can see the status change in https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ only. But, not in https://egov.uscis.gov.
Anyone on same boat? I am yet to receive the physical copy of approval notice.
Receipt date : 13th April
Approval date : 8th June
EAC
Same here, My lawyers got the physical receipt yesterday.
Good to know. How long it took to receive physical receipt after approval status change?
Hi Sai, what is the notice date? Is it AD or non AD?
Hey !!! Are you people able to see the approval status as “WE APPROVED YOUR CASE” for your cases in USCIS website for who all have got their approvals till now ???
No, The USCIS Case Status still shows Case Received.
MyUSCIS Account shows Case Approved
Lawyer got the actual approval notice I-797 yesterday
Hi Sam, is it AD or non AD? Whats the notice date?
Hi All,
I got selected in lottery and notice date in May 8th. My current status is CASE IS RECEIVED but i have got an update from the immigration team like the my case is in RFE status.
Any idea how we can get a STEP BY STEP tracking of my H1B Case in any website?
And also how much time it will take for my RFE to be cleared and what kind of update i will get after my case is approved. Working for MNC.
You can track your case in below site
https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/
That site tells a generic status that CASE IS RECEIVED. I wanted to know a step by step process updates. ANy leads??
There’s no way to get a “step by step” tracking. We just don’t do that. We are exhausted with processing all the cases.
It depends upon what is the RFE about?
If they have asked for evidences pertaining to Speciality Occupation, Employer Employee relationship then it may take a while to get this cleared. In case you are going to work at client site, then more evidences will be required and USCIS will scrutinize the application in details. So your employer may take close to 70-80 days to reply that RFE and again USCIS may take anything between 2-3 months to share their decision. You will not get any notification. You can only check status online.
There is no other website apart from USCIS case status page to track the case status. Irony is now a days it is also not updated promptly for few cases. So better to get update from Attorney too.
Ram, can you help on letting me know if the below service is fully functional in uscis my account?
Case inactivity notifications
We send you a case inactivity notification every 2 weeks if we have not taken a new action on your case
Reason I got this doubt is when I am creating an account it asks to provide the email id with a note saying “provide your email id if you are the one who is filling all online forms”, in my case its my attorney who does that….
Admin / Experts – Can you confirm this? Are we not supposed to create online account?
Reason I got this doubt is when I am creating an account it asks to provide the email id with a note saying “provide your email id if you are the one who is filling all online forms”, in my case its my attorney who does that….
Well, you can create an account, if you know the receipt number to get updates.
Hi,
I got my receipt on May 10 but when I enter my WAC in the USCIS site to check my case status it says cannot recognize the receipt number entered. Has it happened to anyone?
Yes. It happened to me as well..its normal scenario.. Nothing to worry.. Pls create account in myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov to view your current status..
Thank you Ricky, it helped.
Hi Ricky
Just want to know whether attorney also creates the account for a beneficiary on uscis to get the updates? If yes then can beneficiary also create an account? Won’t that be a duplication….
I dont think it is. You can create your own. Admin / Experts – Can you confirm this?
Spoke to my friends.. we can create our own account in USCIS. It doesn’t impact the communication to attorney.

Vermont
Fantastic! Too fast.. Congrats! Where did you see the status? In USCIS myaccount login?
No update yet in the account status. Got notice by mail.
Today I inquired about my application status from the VISA team and they informed that they have started getting H1B drive status from attorney and they are yet to know about my status of application and will inform once they have it from attorneys.
Does it mean that its in progress and still have a chance to get the receipt or have less chance to get through ?
It is too late now..but again if you are working for any MNC, you have to wait. They have a habit of not declaring the lottery results for some reason..Check with your Manager or his Manager to confirm
@Plan : Yes , I am working in Accenture (MNC) , also discussed with other colleagues who are also in same situation as me because employer has not disclosed anything as of now. Even the managers are not willing to share . Dont know behind the logic to not disclose lottery results 🙁 . Let see if at all we are lucky enough to be through … Thanks a lot for your reply.
typically the reason for withholding the information is to make sure you dont take any unnecessary action like quitting. Once you find out lottery is done – you may look for other jobs and in 3-4 months may be out. On the other hand by delaying this piece of information your manager makes sure you stay in your job for few more months in the hope of h1b. Then once you get the result (aug-sep), if you start looking and are ready to leave your job in 3-4 month – you are already around the start of next visa season. remember for most such MNc nominations are sent in Dec-Jan and process starts in feb. So you get the carrot again.
..
and it continues!
have to wait until rejection notices are received. chances are less even am waiting.
Hi every one,
Answer to My question might bring in little hope for some -in-waiting..
Question:In the history of H1B lottery , has anyone got approved without getting receipt notice first ( not knowing whether his/her case was picked up in lottery or not , becoz his sponsor did not confirm for some reason, but later got his petition approved).It might sound stupid/illogical , but still someone active/more experienced in this forum for long might have information/ comments. Thanks
Waiting game is killing me. No updates from this blog as well. Makes me feel clueless more.
I cant access my SEVIS login. I was able to before I submitted an application for a sevis transfer to a new university? I tried to reset password (says that they cannot generate)
What can i do now? does it mean anything?
SEVIS shouldnt have been transfered before end of jule
I’m not able to access it either. May be it’s down, not working temporarily?
Any Non AD got approved yesterday? WAC center..
Not sure how soon we will be seeing approval.. My notice date is 4May.
My receipt notice date is 5th May.. no update on approval.
We might need to wait till end of July at least!!
Same, mine is 5th or may too! Hope it will come shortly I am sooooo tired if waiting …
This is just the start of wait. My intention is to just take you guys closer to reality and not to discourage.
If you have applied from any of the big MNC or any by any chance if you are going to work for a client, then 99 % of you all will get RFE. Once you get RFE, don’t get disheartened as majority of these RFE’s will be cleared.
But this RFE process can easily take 5-7 months to get approval.
For my case I am not into IT field nor working for MNC/client, I will be chemist in a small cosmetic company so Hopefully things will turn right shortly Without RFE! We’ll see 🙂
EAC1813750201
On June 7, 2018, we mailed you a notice explaining our intent to revoke our earlier approval of your case, Receipt Number EAC1813750201. The notice explains what we will do. Please follow the instructions in the notice and submit any requested materials. If you do not receive your notice before June 21, 2018, please call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to…
It seems they are revoking prior approvals. Probably because of duplicated applications. This explains why they still haven’t returned the petitions that were not selected in the lottery. They are going through everything (selected and not selected) to find fraud and deny them.
Gayathri, keep on checking on status. You should be getting something like this soon…
Wow, I am scared now ????
@No_Shame: Did you have same end-client, same vendor but different employer?
Why would you fill in duplicate applications , Isn’t it wrong ??
@Random_guy
No_Shame did not file duplicate applications..he/she is referring to a case where they revoked because of multiple applications…..looks like all those dumbasse’s who have filed more than one application are scrwed BIGLYYYYYYYYYYYY
That is actually good . Lets there be fair game for every one
@No_Shame
Did you have the same employer file multiple petitions on your behalf?
Just fyi, someone used python to pull data from USCIS website and found a lot of cases like this one.
This is not my case, I’m a legit full-time applicant with wage level 4 working in the Bay Area.
Everyone who submitted multiple applications and already got approval, should keep on checking for a possible revocation.
Worst of luck for all the fraud and consultancies garbage!
Any idea what they will do with receipt numbers that are revoked? Maybe assign them to deserving candidates?
Revoked receipt numbers will be wasted. They have already selected more than 85K in the lottery with the assumption that many will be denied
it could also be system glitch
It’s a glitch sure, the system “accidentally” wrote about a lot petitions being revoked.
LOL, I guess you’re free to believe in whatever makes you feel better
@Rand, googling it shows people faces same issue in last couple of years as well, attributed to system glitch. and yes, people always believe what they want to believe.
@Rand, unless there is a list of more receipts that got revoked how do we know its true and they were revoked due to multiple filing? Everyone is speculating here.
Did anyone getting un-selection petitions return?
Are there any chances to get picked up now ?
Yes. Untill and unless you don’t get a reject notification, hopes are there.
yes we have to wait until rejection notice is shared.
Is anyone still facing this? https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus shows below error. But, https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ shows my case was received.. Its been more than a month I received my receipt.
Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283.
@Kannan,
Don’t worry much. USCIS website still showing the case is received for last year approved cases.
Cool… thanks for the comment.
I am getting the same error. Receipt date is April 27th.
Haven’t received an approval notice yet.

Hello Kumar /3rd timer/saurabh or anyon, could you please answer this..
I have approved 1797b h1 petition valid from Dec 2016 to Sep 2019. Till now I didn’t go for stamping. I’m now planning to use the petition and go for stamping.
So, will I get full 6 years from now or I already lost the h1 time from Dec 2016 till now?
How does the h1 clock work?
@H1 from canada,
Yes, you are eligible for 6 years total you spend/or physically present in US.
Your H1 clock only starts after you enter US on H1B. You lose nothing, if you stay outside of US.
Which company
Hi All,
Please help me to respond to my RFE for Specialty Occupation. I know that each person job duties were unique. But for reference purpose, if someone help me to answer below questions. What points mainly we need to highlight to get this approved. Thank you.
A. Brief Description of Your Job.
B. Tools/Languages Used in Your Job.
C. Detailed Job Duties.
Varsha – Whats your educational background and for what specialty occupation you have applied for?
Is there any chance for any H1B or legal immigration legislation to go thru the US Congress & become law in Summer/Fall of 2018 so as to be operational by April 2019 ? Seriously some drastic changes are needed. Something should happen before midterm elections.
Ha ha ha ha……changes required they should stop people from permanently settling down in US, finish your work and come back to India……
Where should we check the case status.

Hi Kumar,
I have applied my H1B 2019 for Californica center but I have received EACxxxx receipt number instead of WACxxxxx receipt number , Is it Normal?
Thanks
I think, its fine as long as you hold valid receipt#. It may be transferred to different center depends on the volume of petitions at one center. This is my thought.
When did u receive the receipt?
Yesterday I have received the receipt details from my employer.
When I checked the status online in USCIS it shows that
Received date – 4/12/2018
Notice date – 5/08/2018
It should be fine. sometimes, they move cases. You can ask your employer to share the case receipt copy, so that you can confirm, if it is yours.
when will NON-AD approval start coming in ??
I am from CTS. Few of team members who are non AD got their approval in may 16 and may 17.

Nice to hear!! Congrats. If you have created an account with uscis, Do we get any automated email if your case status is changed?
I have a friend who got his receipt at the end of June last year. Is it worth waiting for a receipt now? AD last attempt
I guess at this juncture your chances are pretty slim (less than 1%). The late receipts are due to postal delays and chances are for such postal delays pretty slim. If your cheque is still not en-cashed then its almost over. I know it feels pretty bad to be in your shoes. I hope you to be in that 1% , best luck 🙂
