US to accept H-1B visas from today Tuesday April 01,2014

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has made elaborate arrangement for receiving applications for the much coveted H-1B visas, from Tuesday April 01,2014, to meet the expected rush.

The agency will determine the allocation of visas, highly popular among IT professionals, through computerised draw of lots. “USCIS anticipates receiving more than enough petitions to reach both caps by April 7. The agency is prepared to use a random selection process to meet the numerical limit. Non-duplicate petitions that are not selected will be rejected and returned with the filing fees,” 

As per the Congressional mandated cap, USCIS can allocate a maximum of 65,000 H-1B visas for the fiscal year 2015 beginning October 1, 2014. 

This cap has remained in place for the past several years.

The first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals with a US master’s degree or higher are exempt from the 65,000 cap
