NewsFlash! H1B Cap Reached for FY2026

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that the H1B cap limit for fiscal year 2024 (FY24) has been reached. This applies to both the 65,000 regular H1B cap limit as well as the 20,000 advanced degree (masters) cap exemptions.

The USCIS only had to conduct a single round of selections from the registrations submitted in March 2025 in order to hit the annual limit. The registration period for the fiscal year 2027 lottery will begin in March 2026.
