When does H1B visa 2020 Season start ? What is the start date ?
Update : USCIS announced on March 19th that they will accept H1B 2020 petitions starting from April 1st.
Based on past history, it would be Monday, April 1st, 2019. The rationale is that, USCIS starts accepting applications for the next fiscal year exactly 6 months before the start of the next fiscal year. USCIS fiscal year for 2020 year starts from 1st October 2019, which means they would accept applications for FY 2020 from April 1st, 2019. This will change for the next H1B FY 2021 Season as USCIS has published New H1B Registration Rule, where employers will register much ahead of the April 1st date and go through process to be able to file petitions on April 1st.
What is H1B visa 2020 Quota for Regular and Masters filings ?
H1B quota is listed below. There are no changes to the cap count, USCIS confirmed that in their press release in March 2018. Below are the numbers. For first timers, this quota 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
H1B Lottery Predictions for FY 2020 ?
Update : USCIS announced on April 5th that they received enough petitions for Regular cap quota and there would be lottery.
We had H1B lottery for the last 6 consecutive years starting H1B FY 2014. Looking at historical trend of H1B filings, cap reach dates, it is very likely possible that we would have lottery for FY 2020 quota. We have written a detail article on this topic, read H1B Visa 2020 Lottery Predictions, Dates, Results, Analysis.
H1B Visa 2020 Lottery Date ? Results ?
If we look at the H1B lottery, we have three things, one is when the H1B petitions are accepted for the lottery, second is when the actual lottery is done and third is when the H1B lottery results for everyone are out.
- Applications Accepted for H1B Lottery : H1B visa petitions for next fiscal year would be accepted by USCIS from Monday April 1st, 2018 for 5 working days until April 5th, 2018 to be part of the H1B Visa lottery.
- H1B Visa Lottery conducted date : 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 2019, H1B lottery was conducted on April 11th. Similarly, for FY 2018, the actual H1B Lottery was done on April 11th, 2017 . We can expect anywhere around the same dates like April 11th or April 13th.
- H1B 2020 Lottery Results for Everyone : This is probably the most asked question as many applicants wait in state of uncertainty. USCIS, only informs about actual results for everyone after they completed sending our receipts for accepted petitions. So, technically, you may need to wait for a long time to get the actual results, depending on if you were selected in lottery or not. For FY 2019, USCIS sent our all rejected applications on July 30th, with a timeline given until August 13th. So, you can hear your lottery results anywhere from April second week to August 13th..that’s a long waiting window !
- Update : USCIS released a press note confirming that that returned all H1B petitions that were not picked in lottery and you should get a mail by Aug 29, 2019. So, your final date for lottery result date for FY 2020 is Aug 29, 2019.
How to find H1B visa 2020 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. Depending on your situation, 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 or H1B Grader – Sponsors Database
- 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 !

What is New H1B Registration Rule ?
USCIS and DHS went through 9 Steps of Federal rule making process to change the H1B lottery process and published the final rule on Jan 31st, 2019. In the new registration rule, employers register their potential H1B hires during the H1B registration window in the USCIS registration system. USCIS will conduct lottery on the registrations and inform the selected registrants to file H1B petition on April 1st. In the new process, the order of H1B lottery is changed to select Regular cap quota petitions first and then Masters quota petitions. For more info, read Summary of New H1B Registration Rule
Will the New H1B Registration Rule be applicable for FY 2020 Season ?
Not fully. USCIS is suspending H1B Registration Rule for H1B FY 2020 cap season to design, implement and complete user testing of system and make sure the system is ready. USCIS will formally announce this suspension for FY 2020 on their website. So, for the upcoming H1B Visa FY 2020 season , the current process of accepting H1B Petitions for 5 business days and then conducting lottery from the received petitions will be followed. But, one change to the current process will be done, which is the order of the H1B lottery will be changed, where first regular quota petitions are selected in lottery to fulfil 65,000 petitions cap from entire pool of applications and then master quota petitions are selected in lottery order to fulfil the masters quota cap of 20,000.

Any chances for AD/PP left?
Yes, until May 20th.
Hi Kumar,
My case is non-AD/VT – L1b To H1b (Change of status) and I have filled 2 petition this year since I got two offer from different and unrelated employer/client , Please let me know my chance of getting selected in the lottery also can I expect the result from next week to Mid- May ?
Thanks in Advance !
Well, the odds are pure mathematics, it is all based on your luck in lottery. You can hear back anytime in the upcoming weeks, based on past history, you can hear by early or mid June.
Hello Kumar
When does non AD non PP processing starts? I could see most of the updates so far is on AD processing
I am AD/RP my STEM opt ends soon. There is no update on my SEVP portal yet. Does it mean I was not picked in the lottery?
No, it means you wait until mid-May.
You still have time until early June.
Non AD & Non PP.. did any one received mail … I am stressed & in tension.. pls update if any received h-1b lottery …
Unfortunately, it is going to take some time for Non-PP, maybe until Mid June, so don’t worry too much…there is nothing you can do as it is not in your control. Taking extra tension is not going to help…I understand, easier said than done…but, try !
Are we still seeing lottery pickups happening for non premium- AD petitions ?
till now I have only seen PP results everywhere. Not sure about NP-AD results.
Please provide your comments on this.
Package will be mailed back to you in next 45 days (mid-June) if you are not picked in this lottery.
Probably even later, maybe mid July based on past few years data.
Thanks Kumar . Trying to control myself & relaxed.
🙂
Yes Received a mail from Non PP/AD application has been picked on April 25
Thanks Keerthi for the info , i dont know if mine is picked or not ??? it would had better if i haven’t submitted for H-1B
Does anyone have any experience with lawfirm Klasko?
Not sure how prompt they are with updating their portal.
I filed my application with them.AD/PP.Still haven’t heard anything.
I got an email from my lawyer yesterday where she sent a copy of the certified LCA. But isn’t that months old news? That makes me wonder if they have received info about my H1B but just haven’t informed me yet…
LCA should have been done long time ago. Check with them again, if they filed in April first week or not… Is your employer University or non-profit research ? if so, then you are cap exempt and can file anytime.
No, it’s a big company. And I see the LCA was filed and certified in Feb on the portal…but the in house lawyer waited till now to inform me of that (even though of course I already knew of it from checking the portal which is managed by outside counsel). And I do also see an update for “Petition filed with CIS” for April 1st so I believe they did file it on time.
Just not sure if they’re timely on updating the portal/emailing me about the info regarding things.
Ah, got it. That’s a huge delay in informing you 🙂
Any hope for AD PP still? Looks like premium processing emails are already out and almost done..:(
How many AD/RP folks received their receipt numbers? Waiting for the lottery result is an added misery to the lottery itself. Its a torture checking email and sevp portal every hour to see if there is any update. Hopefully I survived the USCIS snap. Why can’t USCIS make the lottery process easier and for folks by sending receipts all at once for people selected or rejected. After all its a computer generated lottery. They can make or lives easier specially for last timers like me.
People have same question for ages and USCIS doesn’t realize how pathetic their system is
Mine was AD regular processing ,Haven’t received receipts, but employer said the checks have been cashed today. Apparently the SEVIS was updated on 22nd april for me. So I guess they are still updating and sending out receipts.
Everyday (Mon-Fri) they pick some of lottery results to send out email notice. That is too much fun LOOOL!
I agree. My case is like yours, AD/RP last chance. I am checking the SEVP portal every few hours and eagerly waiting for communication from the lawyers.
For some AD/RP candidates (who are eligible for cap-gap) OPT end date was updated on SEVP portal. There is no update on my SEVP portal. Lawyers won’t tell me if the cheque was encashed until official notice from USCIS.
What I am wondering is,
Is the SEVP portal updated for every candidate picked in the lottery who are eligible for cap-gap?
I need an answer soon. My STEM OPT will end soon so I need to start planning.
I wish redbus2us had a pie chart showing
1) How many out of regular and PP got receipts
2) For how many folks RP vs PP the SEVP is updated
Well, the closest we have got is crowdsourced data in H1B Tracker , if more people update their status there, we would have more data 🙂
If you are not picked from lottery, your package will be sent back to your lawyer around mid-June and no later. Plan or not plan now doesn’t matter.
SEVP portal is updated only for cap gap applicants.
Unfortunately, that’s the sad part….many go through this pain every year…I wish they did something…Next year, it will be slightly better as there is H1B registration rule , but still that’s a different lottery…
My Nephew for mail from Attorney – AD – Non PP – got picked in H-1B lottery ,
I have applied for Non AD & Non PP …. waiting for my luck to struck.
Pls update if u hear any. Me too non AD non PP
If the checks were not cashed by now, it means no picked from lottery ?
No hope , right?
Dear Kumar
Any idea?
Not yet. still long way to go. Check H1B lottery results in above article.
Has anyone heard from Envoy?
No. AD/RP
Nope. AD + RP.
Nope, none of my colleagues have any updates.
Nope.
AD/PP still waiting.
On a positive not, will be able to watch Game of Thrones Season 8 Ep 3 atleast before my visa get expired.
note*
What about non AD, not premium? Have they started getting updates about picked in lottery??
3rd time and final time AD/Non-PP here and I saw my sevis portal got update with the 09/30 as my OPT end date, So I believe its the sign my application picked in the lottery.
I noticed that SEVIS portal was under maintanance on 24th (Yesterday) probably they are updating the results? and there is one more maintainance on 27th.
When did it change exactly and which center your application got filed??
When did you see that update (date/time) and when was the portal under maintenance?
My Sevis got updated today at 10:20 AM.
Has anyone with AD/Consular Processing heard back yet? When should we expect to hear?
If the checks were not cashed by now, it means no picked from lottery ?
No hope , right?
I have the same question. I checked with DSO and as per them there is no change of status in SEVIS yet. unlucky 🙁
Not yet. you still have time. Read H1B Results Timeline
My application got selected in the lottery. AD/PP/CA. My case status is: “On April 12, 2019,Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Emailed” and on case history it says “15-Day Premium Processing Clock Was Started for My Case”.
Now case history updated to “On April 17, 2019,15-Day Premium Processing Clock Was Restarted for My Case”. but status remains same as “On April 12, 2019,Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Emailed”
What is that means ?
Has anyone with AD/Consular Processing heard back yet? When should we expect to hear?
These are intermittent system statuses and may keep changing. Technically the official 15 day clock starts on May 20th, but in the system you may see some of these, dont worry about it.
Can we still see updates to sevis record if not in the cap gap extension? I checked with DSO,no updates to the sevis record yet.
AD/Regular P
What did you ask your DSO?
I am thinking to ask the same, AD/PP here.
If it is COS, you may see some updates in SEVIS that only DSO can see.
What’s the best way to find out if you got picked in the lottery other than asking the lawyer if the check was encashed?
call uscis
What information I need to give them? just my name?
Read How do I know, if I am picked in Lottery
Picked up in lottery AD/PP/CAP-GAP, SEVIS updated to 9/30 on April 24th. Waiting for decision now.
Fingers crossed! good luck to everyone.
Cheers !
Lawyer just informed me that my petition was picked in the lottery. AD/PP, 5th (STEM undergraduate & graduate) and last attempt. I know right? Consider this being extremely unlucky & lucky at the same time.
For those who are wondering, no SEVP portal update yet and I’m on cap gap.
Best of luck to all the genuine applicants who are still waiting!!!
Cheers !
good to see AD/PP decisions still coming.
People have started seeing change on their SEVP portal. There is no update on my portal. Does that mean I am done for this season?
AD/non-PP.
I guess the SEVP Portal is getting updated only for those for whom Cap Gap extension is applicable.
Not yet. You still have a long way to go, not done yet. You have until early June.
Anyone from Ogleetree received receipts ??
I am still waiting. No update yet
I filed PP/AD and no updates yet. Should I assume my chances are over?
No, you have till May 20
USCIS performing another system outage tonight. Does that signal another lottery?
I guess the lottery happens only once. Could be for some other reason
LOL could be a secret lottery. A lottery for the lottery maybe?
LOL !
System outages happen every few weeks, does not really correlate with H1B activity, while there are some coincidences with the dates, which makes people believe it..
Will the SEVP portal be updated for a candidate who does not require any Cap Gap extension? Example- OPT runs from 4th Feb’19 to 3rd Feb’20, will the employment end date be dragged down to 30th Sept’19 in such cases?
No, it will not be updated, if you are not in cap gap.
Hi,
My case was picked in the lottery(AD/PP). I know USCIS announced that PP clock starts on or after May 20.
But I see that the clock has started on April 12th in my case history. I’m confused.
It is common to get decision or RFE before than the official PP start date. That is normal…their official 15 day only starts on May 20.
Hi All,
I got picked on H1B, I am on STEP OPT ending May 13th.
Applying now for Cap Gap, I just noticed on my SEVP portal that my Supervisor name was not updated. Couple of months back there was an organizational change and my Boss changed.I missed to update on the SEVP portal. But, I am still employed on the same company, same role and all job responsibilities remain the same. Will this be an issue during Cap Gap extension?
I dont think it will be an issue. Also, Did you see any date update in SEVP Portal?
Thank you for your comments. No I do not see any changes yet!
It should not be. Contact DSO and make sure the correct details are in there in the SEVIS system. Your details from SEVIS will be synched with SEVP portal. DSO can do a data fix as well, if any issues.
Please advise: My coworker and I filed for H-1B through the same attorney. Our initials are also the same. Our application was also received on the same date and signed by the same person. Both filed under Regular AD. The lawyer told us that his check was cashed but nothing for me yet. Does that mean it’s over for me? Or can my check still be cashed? Should it have been cashed together?
Any information is useful at this point. Thanks
No, they do not need to be cashed together. USCIS does not process based on order of receiving or group of receiving. You still have a long way to go. Read H1B Lottery Results Timelines
Hi Kumar
Is it possible USCIS to cash the checks before starting run the lottery? I was told my three checks was cashed on April 5, but I did not receive H-1B receipt.
Well, technically, it should not happen as they ran lottery on April 10th. Something is not right…
My SEVIS portal has been updated, but my attorney’s haven’t received any receipts regarding my petition, can I probably lower my BP assuming I’m mostly picked?
AD/Regular,
Also, thanks for all your posts, made my day for the last week!
That’s a positive sign…yes, you can keep it down 🙂 Check with your attorney in few days.
I have applied for H1B 2020 cap and waiting for result.
Is it OK if i apply for EB2 /EB3 as well during coming month of May 2019?
Both are technically quite independent, you can try that as well. Check with your attorney on the specifics on the timing and if anything needs to be considered.
Hey, is it your 1st attempt? Mine is 1st attempt and my opt date end date shifted to 30 sept. I guess this is for cap gap students, but my portal got updated.
Hi, did you apply for OPT extention? Is it showing future OPT?
I have a future stem date as well. But my active post completion shifted to 30 sept, 2019. Any reviews?
hi, have you received your receipt yet? mine was changed to 9/30 on 4/25 and i have not received the receipt yet, when was yours updated?
Can AD/PP people expect results this week? or Is it too late? Last attempt. Planning to start the relocation process.
Same here. I heard people saying me to keep hopes & it’s not over, but I kinda lost hope now cz premium results are all out and Non-PP people started receiving their receipts. Your only hope is if your attorney is Fragomen, they are not sharing till they receive physical receipt.
Attorney is Fragomen but their coordinator confirmed that they are sending receipts as they come in and they are not waiting for physical receipts. Looks to be a dead end.
My last attempt as well. 3rd time. AD/PP/CA. I am slowly winding up things. Check hasnt been cashed yet, no update on SEVP portal.
I’ll move to Canada soon.
Yes, you could see some approvals in the last week of April or early May.
Just Open My SEVP portal at 12.20 PM(PST) and i see in History section that my cap gap extended to sept 30. Genuine Applicant Working as Mechanical Engineer.Last 3rd Time. Non PP. AD.
Thank you god. Wishing all last time applicant Best wishes. Stay There don’t loose hope.
Cheers !
Anyone using Consular Processing heard anything? Checked with my law firm yesterday, they mentioned Consular Processing might wait till May or June. Do we really need to wait till that late to know whether get picked in lottery of not?
Good luck to everyone who’s still waiting! 🙂
Yes, unfortunately, you need to wait that long…that’s how it has been for many years…
Is this is the end for AD/PP?
Loosing hope, STEM OPT ends soon 🙁
Same boat. I am losing hope kinda now 🙁
Hi,
AD/PP got an email from my lawyer yesterday at 4PM after I was losing hope. I believe that my lawyer firm didn’t want to inform me until they got the actual mail, then they scanned it and sent it to me. It says that the notice date was on Apr 16th, and the lawyer didn’t tell me until yesterday when they got the actual mail. So, there’s still hope for AD/PP if your lawyer wants to wait until they get the mail. So, if your lawyer got the email this past Friday, they may receive the mail by this Friday and then let you know.
OPT ends in 2020, and SEVP isn’t updated.
have infosys and tcs employees started receiving the acknowledgement ?
Any updates on SEVIS for cap gap after being picked in lottery ?
No update yet..
from when can we expect the AD/Non-PP receipts?
They have already started. Some of my co-workers found out that their checks were presented for payment. Which means they were picked in the lottery.
Good Luck!
Should be coming in anytime. There are already very few who reported they have got some…more to come in upcoming days.
Hopes are high, expectations are low. I wish there was a way but the process is so slow.
We find comfort in others while our destiny still bothers.
We all have dreams but nothing is working out it seems.
Let’s all gather and pray so that we shall not stray.
For the H-1B shall come to us to stay.
P.S. Do not ask for my autograph!
Nice Poem !
Hi everyone,Did any one with PP/AD receive receipts today ?? as Non-PP started receiving receipts can i assume my chances are low and what are the options you ppl suggest as i will be out of status soon. thanks
Hi Everyone
Good Day..
Any status change on there receipt number, who got selected on PP.
Thanks
How have people applied for PP now? I thought USCIS enforced a rule that it would only accept pp post May20th for H1b cap petitions, isn’t that the case?
Read this till the end.
http://immigrationgirl.com/premium-processing-for-fy-2020-cap-subject-petitions/
No, USCIS said that May 20th is the date when the premium processing clock starts for FY 2020 season.
From when can we expect results for non ad category
Well, this depends and can take time. Already we see some regular processing Advanced degree petitions receipts, so we can expect regular processing petitions processed anytime…you would see more of them coming in from early May…
Hi,,,My H1B petition (I 129) pacakge has all the forms except I 907 and the cheque associated with I 907. Does this mean my petition wasn’t filed as Premium?
My lawyer mentioned that they filed my petition as premium AD/CA/COS/PP however in the I 129 copy that was shared with me I don’t find the I 907 or the cheque towards premium processing. It would be very helpful if you can share your thoughts on this. Is 907 filed independent of the I 129 package?
They all are sent as package. Check USCIS Page on H1B – Organizing your H1B section. Maybe they did not share that part with you, please double check with them.
paid 3.5 lakh to ACI infotech waiting for an update

Chances are there
Do you still AD/CA/PP still has chance ??
my lawyer told me they have started to receive some receipts. Haven’t heard anything on my case yet. Not sure if I still have a chance. AD/PP/VT
Yes. Especially if your attorney is Fragomen. I think they’re waiting for physical receipts.
Mine is hammondlawgroup.
Any update from Ogletree?
They replied me an email saying we didn’t receive anything yet ! i think my chances are dead.
There are still so many people who have not received the result. Lets get our fingers crossed.
Ogletree is not good in response too.
Please share if anyone has got update from Ogletree.
Couple of days back I got an email with receipt number from ogletree – AD/PP/CA.
I didn’t receive yet(AD/non PP) . But one guy in our company received AD/PP 3 days back.
From Ogletree?
Did you hear anything from ogleetree over the weekend ??
