The US has completed its annual selection process for H-1B visas for FY2027, meeting the statutory cap and opening the filing window for successful applicants.
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said it has met the annual quota of 85,000 H-1B cap beneficiaries for FY-2027 and completed both the regular and advanced-degree selection lotteries.
The agency said it had notified all prospective petitioners with selected beneficiaries that they are eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions on their behalf.
