USCIS announced that it selected 114,017 beneficiaries in the initial selection for the FY2025 H-1B cap, leading to 120,603 selected registrations. In the subsequent second selection for the FY2025 H-1B regular cap, 13,607 beneficiaries were chosen, resulting in 14,534 selected registrations.
USCIS recently announced that additional selections were made to meet the fiscal year 2025 H-1B regular cap. USCIS selected a sufficient number of unique beneficiaries from the remaining properly submitted FY 2025 registrations to reach the regular cap. All prospective petitioners with selected registrations from this round have been notified and are eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions for the beneficiaries listed in their selected registrations.
Only petitioners with selected registrations can file H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2025, and only for the beneficiaries specified in their selection notices. No additional selections were made for the advanced degree exemption (master’s cap), as enough registrations had already been selected and sufficient petitions were received to meet the master’s cap allocation.
