News: Over 236,000 Petitions Received for H1B 2017. Lottery Done !

Wow, it has been a crazy day with some surprise news from attorneys saying that they received H1B Receipt Notices for their premium processing cases. It clearly indicated that lottery was done and we were just waiting for the official press note from USCIS.  Anyways, as you know, the H1B cap for FY 2017 reached on April 7th and finally, we have an official press note from USCIS. Below is the quick summary of the details.

Summary of the USCIS Official Press Alert on H1B FY 2017 Lottery, Cap Completion

  • Total H1B Petitions in Lottery: USCIS received a staggering number of over 236,000 petitions for H1B FY 2017 Quota during the standard 5 day filing period between April 1st and April 7th, 2016.
  • Masters Quota : USCIS received more than the cap of 20,000 set aside for US Masters degree quota. We do not have any split on how many were filed under masters quota and regular quota, all we have been updated by USCIS is that the overall number is over 236,000 petitions for FY 2017 quota.
  • Lottery Process for H1B 2017 : USCIS indicated on April 9th, that they conducted computer generated random selection, popularly called as H1B lottery for the total over 236,0000 petitions received to pick the required petitions for regular cap of 65,000 and masters cap of 20,000 petitions.
    • Masters Quota Lottery : First a lottery was conducted for the US Masters degree H1B petitions to select the 20,000 petitions. The petitions that were not selected in this first round were added back to the regular quota pool of applications and lottery was conducted on the entire pool of applications to pick the required 65,000 petitions required for regular quota. This is no different from previous years and you may read H1B Lottery Process
    • Petitions Not Selected in Lottery: USCIS indicated that they will reject and return all the petitions that were not selected in the FY 2017 lottery with the filing fee, unless they identify that the petition is duplicate filing by same employer for same or related job roles to trick the system of lottery selection for better odds.
  • H1B 2017 Premium Processing Details : USCIS indicated earlier that premium processing will begin no later than May 16th, 2016. It means that, if your petition is filed under premium the clock of 15 calendar days starts from May 16th.  As we have already seen many attorneys getting receipts, they may process the petitions earlier as well, but the 15 days SLA for premium processing starts from May 16th, that’s the idea.
    • For FY 16, they said that it would be no later than May 11th ( later moved to April 27th after lottery) and for FY 15 it was April 27th. You can see that the initial forecast of the dates are further pushed for this year by 5 days…it tells us that they are anticipating more petitions. You should read H1B Visa 2017 Lottery Predictions Analysis
    • Cap Exempt H1B Petitions: The current press alert is only for FY 2017 H1B cap quota stating that it is completed. As always, all the H1B cap exempt petitions will be accepted all year long, which falls under the below categories :
      • Changes in H1B employment terms, contract
      • Previously H1B cap counted Applications
      • H1B extensions
      • H1B Transfers
      • Concurrent working second H1B petitions

Our H1B Predictions for FY 2017 – Actual Results : We have indicated in our H1B 2017 predictions article couple of things, first one is that we expect lottery and second one is that we expect about  230,000  to 250,000 petitions.   We are proud to say that both of our predictions are correct.   Firstly, USCIS had lottery for FY 2017 quota and secondly, they received about 236,000 petitions. Hope our predictions, let some of you plan ahead !

What can you expect in next few weeks or months?

All I can tell you my friends is that it is going to be a very long wait for many of the H1B Applicants, who filed petition for FY 2017 quota.  With our experience, we can tell you one thing, stay calm and continue to focus on what you are doing…you may feel the pain and anxiety, when others report that they received case number and some post indicating that they got approval… As we have an active discussion always on H1B Visa 2017 Page, I suggest you all not to hurt anyone with your comments or post rumours misleading people. Please do NOT get into fight or write hate speech ! Let’s keep the forum friendly and help one another as everyone goes through this tough waiting period.  I suggest you add your H1B case to our H1B Case Tracker and keep it up to date, so that everyone get some high level info and take necessary action as needed.

What are your thoughts on this FY 2017 Quota and Lottery ?

  1. Hi All,
    I have checked my status in USCIS site and could see following message.

    On April 11, 2016, we received your Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, Receipt Number EAC1614XXXXXX, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by May 11, 2016, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to ‘www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

    Did my application pick in Lottery? Can anyone answer me please?

    Regards,
    Ganesh

    • Hi Ganesh, Since you can check your status on USCIS site, that means your petition went through the lottery. Then only we receive a receipt number and we can check the further status on this site. I am also on same boat as yours. Now we need to wait for our status to get “approved” on this site. If it comes in “REF” status, that means they need more documents which might be missing in your application. Your employer and attorney would take care of this. We just need to wait to get it approved.

      Congrats and good luck for further process…!!

  2. Hi All

    I filed for H1b this year and my employer is saying he has not received receipt number for my case yet.Is there any chance after this?

    Also I am not sure if my employer has filed H1b actually or not.Because my employer has not shared anything with me yet except LCA which also does not contain any information through which I can verify that my employer has actually filed it or not.

    Please help me to let know how can I check.In case if I get reject petition notice then how can i make sure that Receipt number mentioned is for my application (Rejected Petition)

        • Ritu,

          Well they can, if they want to. You can compare it w/ other sample ones to see if they are fake or not. But if employer has a real rejection notice, they can put white ink on the name and type your name there and scan it to you.

    • @Ritu ……………….Be careful and aware of TekWissen LLC. These people are lying including Manish Senta/Sanjeev Senta. Few years back I got an RFE and they asked to submit Company document. I was following up with TekWissen LLC immigration department and they tolde me that lawyer will submit your RFE response before due date. And When I checked with Mannish Senta before 2 days of due date, they told me that they have withdraw my application and they screwed up my life. Luckily in following year my H1B got picked up and got approved. But please dont trust on TekWissen LLC. If it’s picked up and approved , I would suggest please change your employer ASAP. Please let me know if you need any other information.

        Thanks for your reply.

        Even I am stucked What should I do now? These people I think take money and don’t apply your visa.I called company immigration department and told them I want to talk to your lawyer But they have not responded yet.As per them,They have received responses for those picked up in the lottery and now It seems there are no chances for any confirmation.Should I wait till USCIS send rejected petition?

        Thanks

        • @ Ritu,
          I understand your situation but these consultant don’t our condition and situation.I don’t know on which you are on ? The best way you can verify from your school
          if you have applied from F1 visa. Or talk with TekWissen imigration department and asked them to provide you LCA copy.In LCA, the y could have mentioned your work location
          detail (You can find a section like Where benificiary has to perform the work where you can find your work location).If you get these infomration ,then you can ask to immigration department to provide all supporting document.As per rule, employer has to provide all the information with their employee which is related to H1B. And please ask them to provide all
          the detail along with your name if they may be get any return package along with picture.

          I remember that In 2012, there was no lottery and I provided all the documents to TekWissen LLC to apply for H1B. They have applied for LCA and they had my approved LCA but
          they did not send the documents to USCIS and when the quota was filled up (06/12/2012), Sanjeev called me told me that We are sorry we could not send your documents to USCIS.I knew it they got
          LCA approved on 06/01/2012.

          As per Labor, emploeyr can not ask to employee for H1B fees. Please do all the communication in email so you can have a proof.And all the employees have right to know the application which is related to labor/USCIS.

          My current employer sent me all the documents copy along with H1B classification form,LCA,I-129 when they had applied for H1B to me before sending to USCIS for verification along with USPS tracking detail that.

          I know all the employer are not loyal to their employees they are just making money.

          I wish you all the best and pray for you that you will get some good news from USCIS..

          Please let me know if you need any other information.

          Thanks

            Thanks for your reply.

            I am asking company immigration department to share all documents with me.But HR Anusha replied she will discuss it with management and let me know if they can share it with employees.

            They have shared LCA with me previously.But in LCA only case number is mentioned and yes work location details,but no name details etc and it has been approved on 14 March 2016.How can I check that LCA is filed for my application?

            Thanks

          • Hi Andy,

            Through which employer you have applied.?

            Just curious to know since they have shared all the documents and USPS tracking details.

            I have applied through Acceligent but they shared only LCA and I129.

            Thanks.

      • Hi Andy

        Could you please read my comment once if you get time.Please reply that what all information we can get from LCA that my employer has actually filed it?

    Any suggestions plz.

    • 1st time,

      He is relying on the fact that no receipt notice was received and chances of receiving one now is close to 0. So he has no absolute proof but substantial proof for the same.

      Well lottery was completed on April 12 but receipts may have been received as late as this week. Maybe this is what he is referring. For a better clarification, ask your employer.

  10. Hi Everyone,

    I realised my game is over, I was very much excited when I found the employer who was ready to offer me, I tried really hard since last august to get one offer, and finally I got it but is of no use since I didn’t get through lottery.

    I was very much prepared for Plan B even before my employer applied petition on April 1st since I well aware that this is gonna be luck based but still I can’t bear.

    From this morning onwards I started working on my other plans, I may convince myself saying that there are plenty of countries other than USA and even in my country I can achieve a lot which has more than 60 crores of consumers but whatever it may be USA is USA.

    This is my first comment in this blog, I was thinking that my first comment should be saying that “I have selected in lottery” but unfortunately that hasn’t happened, anyways congrats everyone who has got selected in lottery 🙂

  11. Hello Admin, Greetings!!!

    I need one advice from you that I have selected in the lottery and waiting for the next action for approval/RFE. But I want to know that in Passport my name is Rakesh Khanna but my educational certificate it is showing Rakesh Kumar. My Lawyer filed the H1B petition on the name of Rakesh Khanna. Means my passport name and on my H1B petition document, my name is same. Would it will effect while I will go for Visa stamping or I need to take any precaution before going to Visa Stamping.
    Please advise me on this

    Regards
    Rakesh

    Reply
    • Rakesh!!!,

      It should be ok. If USCIS has any concern, they would issue RFE and your employer can explain the situation at that point. Were you ever known by a name other than “Rakesh Khanna” like “Rakesh Kumar” or “Rakesh Kumar Khanna”?

      Reply
      • Thanks Saurabh for the reply. Really appreciated for the quick reply

        I never known by any other name but the issue which I wanted to clear that my name in passport and in educational certificates its different but in my all experience letters it is the same name as in my passport.

        I was holding a passport which my name was Rakesh Kumar (First Name) and I visited USA on B1 in the year of 2008 with the name of Rakesh Kumar and last year I changed my name to Rakesh Khanna and got the passport with my new name Rakesh (First Name) Khanna (Last Name)

        Regards

        Rakesh

        Reply
        • No Issues – I assume you have submitted photocopy of both the passports (All Pages) which has old and changed name.

          If you have not, then if you get RFE, you can send both passport photocopies which will resolve your issue.

        • Hi Rakesh,

          I had the similar issue (kind of) . My passport does not have a surname. Everything was in given name. I changed my passport after coming from USA to india . Now i have a new passport with rectified name. I submitted all the passports and documents . I did not get RFE because of that. So i think it should be ok

    • While Filling LCA have you informed about change in name to your attorney, then there shouldn’t be any issue. If not they may ask for clarification. Once again your attorney will clarify and there ends the topic.

      If you have changed your name in passport by submitting Annexure E, I suggest you to publish your name change in Gazette (It’s easy to publish in central gazette, egazette.nic.in), it’s dead cheap and procedure is very simple. It might be helpful in visa interview.

          • Hi Sourabh,

            Just a small query…

            Am B.Sc (Maths, Physics and Chemistry) and an MBA graduate from one of the finest universities in the UK.

            I was holding UK residence permit till 2010 and from last 15 months am in the UAE on residence permit too working as an IT Consultant with more than 7 yrs of experience.

            My petition was picked in the lottery this year and was wondering about an RFE (thinking about my qualification matching the job role).

            Based on ur experience can u tell me whether I get any RFE??? When I first raised this to my employer, he said its not at all a worry as many people working in IT with MBA grad.

            Thanks for ua valuable input in advance.

          • Neelima,

            In the past few years I have seen an increase in numbers of RFE related to speciality occupation and education evaluation. If your employer submitted education equivalency certificate along w/ experience letters, then chances are low. Still RFE could still be issued for this or any other reason.

  20. My employer said last year first receipt they got in july , so wait .. Is this true?.. Do i need to wait for the lottery result till july.

    Reply
      • nope, not 60-90 days….
        Since H4 EAD had arrived last year, they are too busy i guess, time to get approved or get RFE is much longer now. Officially for RP guys it’s 240 days. But you might get approval or rfe in between 90 days to 240 days, it depends.. One of my friend filed for H1B extension in Nov 21, 2015, and he’s still waiting for approval. So you can guess how soon your H1B approval take time. No doubt for new H1b they’re not taking too much time, but still i guess it would be around 5-6months.

        Would you please also clear one more thing.

        My case if filed from one company, and If I want to switch from that company, prior to landing to US. Is it possible that I can sign with another company and joins them directly after oct 1? Is it mandatory to work for any specific duration with the employer that has filed my H1B? Or I can directly start working with any company which offers a transfer?

        Please respond Saurabh.

        Thanks.

        Reply
        • First Timer,

          It is possible for another employer to file cap-exempt H-1 (H-1 transfer) for you, once current petition has been approved. It is not required that you have to travel w/ current employer first in order to make this happen. So get current approval, get H-1 transfer done, get stamping done and then travel to US to work for new employer.

  23. Question regarding RFE. I had not provided for any documents of full time CPT and research assistance job (part time) in my college in my petition of H1 b. Though I had availed the required permission (nothing was illegal) but have not attached the same. Today when I checked the soft copies of documents provided for H1 b I realize the same. I am AD/PP and still not have heard anything from my attorney. Is it likely that my case would have become RFE? In case of RFE does the same comes late after all PP are completed? ADMIN – PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION. THANKS.

    Reply
    • If you were selected you would know. They don’t really look at your document before lottery. The only check for signature and filing fees.

      Also, I feel like people intentionally leave the CPT documents out of H1B document because they know that day 1 CPT is not really allowed.

      Reply
    • Hanuman,

      If RFE is to be generated, it would be done within 15 day SLA. The processing would then stop until your employer responds to it, and then new 15 day PP SLA would commence.

    • Congratulations. Now while you have time learn to speak and write proper English, you will need it. What kind of sentence is “My employeer will be shared soon”. Rubbish!

        Thanks for the suggestion. I will advise you, if you want to give the suggestion to anyone then give in polite way . So person can say thanks to you. You don’t have ethic, how to speak someone. I will suggest you, be educated and learn some manners. “What do you mean Rubbish:… English is not a big deal for anyone.. Most important thing is that what type of person you are. But you idiot cannot understand this. Get lost!!!

            Now look you can find many mistakes in my comment too.
            I wantedly did it.. No just kidding, it was my bad i did it in a hurry !!;);)

      • @DrDan, (more like doucheDan) your sentence does not make sense.

        “Now while you have time learn to speak and write proper English, you will need it.”
        Stanford parser gave some rubbish output. After the word “time” , there is a pause.

        FYI , a person need skills according to his requirements. Not knowing english does not mean he/she is not smart. He might not excel in his profession and show off the employers that his work is good but HE CAN CODE. If the computer understands what he wants to talk about , then its fine.

        Good day brodda

        • You all are surviving because these computers somehow understand what you are saying. Lucky you! And don’t let me start on the quality of coding. lol.

          • Talking about computers can understand, dude google/Twitter / facebook spends millions and millions of dollars to understand what a common person asks in a query.

            Not everyone who use google search are good at so called “English”.

            Search for ” red boots buy ” . It will give you adds and results.

            Idiots like you always point out fingers at others. you are surviving and so are others who cant speak proper english.

            Shut the hell up on “eligiblity only if you can speak or write proper english”

    • Is anyone still recieving the receipt nos ? Because from past couple of days I don’t see anyone sending messages about getting picked in lottery

  27. Hello my friends,

    I can see a lot of people in despair because they did not make it in lottery.
    I know it is heart breaking. Especially for US ad graduates. Please know that you have the talent to make it. US is not the ultimate dream. There are plenty of opportunities for all of us in this world.
    I urge you to take a look at countries which are far more welcoming including your own home countries. It’s hard for all of us to compete with each other for the limited number of slots available.
    I hope all of us can find it in our hearts to make peace with whatever that has come to pass. May all of you succeed and be happy.

    Stay happy and be blessed.

    • Hi first timer, me too 3 rd n last time. Today my employer called me n said my case was not selected in the lottery. They asked my bank account to return amount to my bank. I was cried for one hour n changed my mind. Some thing i need to do other than working. I am in h4 . So we have one more here to stay . After that we have to go back to India. Whatever we have , we should be happy with that.
      Congrats whoever got the lottery.

      Thank you all.

      • how did the emp come to know ..did he received return packet..?
        i dont think so.seems emp is lying to you..might be he didnt applied for you..

      • Ask LCA and fedex tracking number from him and if possible return packet . Otherwise he didn’t even applied for you. And he will just return some money to you by keeping his share.

          • Sorry to say this but the LCA is independent of the person. So he/she can provide you with false information.
