The H-1B visa lottery system is a randomized selection process used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services （USCIS） when the number of H-1B visa petitions exceeds the annual cap. The process begins with employers submitting electronic registrations for each prospective employee during the designated registration period. USCIS then conducts a random lottery to select enough registrations to meet the H-1B cap. If selected, employers have 90 days to file a complete H-1B petition with supporting documentation. The lottery is typically conducted in March, with results announced shortly after. Due to high demand, only a portion of registrations are selected each year. |
