H-1B Lottery Filing Window Set to Five Business Days

The cap-subject H-1B filing deadline of April 1 is approaching quickly.  USCIS has advised that similar to last April’s filing window, this year, in the event that there are more H-1B applications than there are available visas (i.e. there will be a lottery), the filing window would be five (5) days, from Tuesday, April 1 until and including Tuesday, April 7th.

Some of our H-1B clients ask whether the recession will impact the H-1B processing and we understand that despite the slowdown in the economy, there is an expectation that there will be more than 65,000 H-1B visas which would result in there being a lottery to distribute the available H-1B numbers.

We would be happy to help you or your company with preparing and filing an H-1B cap-subject visa application this April.  If you need our help and services, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
