The H-1B Cap for FY2026 has been reached. Cap-exempt petitions will still be accepted.

Written By Iandoli Desai & Cronin

USCIS received enough petitions to reach the fiscal year 2026, 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa cap for beneficiaries with an advanced degree from a U.S. university. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions from petitioners who are otherwise exempt from the cap, such as colleges, universities, and affiliated non-profits.
