Cap Season Update

Written By Iandoli Desai & Cronin

We are now in the middle of the H-1B petition filing period for beneficiaries who were selected in the FY2026 H-1B cap lottery at the end of March. Employers have until June 30, 2025 to file H-1B petitions for their employees who were selected in the lottery. If USCIS does not receive the maximum 85,000 H-1B cap petitions by June 30, 2025, then they may run a second lottery to fill the remaining spaces.
