USCIS Will Accept H-1B Petitions for FY 2016 Beginning April 1, 2015

USCIS posts today that it will begin accepting FY2016 H-1B petitions on 4/1/15.

USCIS expects to receive more petitions than the 65,000 H-1B cap during the first five business days of this year’s program and as in previous years will randomly select the cap-subject petitions for processing using a lottery system. All petitions not selected or submitted after the first 5 days will be rejected.
