The H-1B visa lottery is a randomized selection process used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services （USCIS） when the number of H-1B visa petitions received exceeds the annual cap. The process begins with employers submitting electronic registrations for prospective employees during a designated registration period. USCIS then conducts a random lottery to select which registrations will be eligible to file full H-1B petitions.
There are two main lotteries: the regular cap lottery for 65,000 visas and the advanced degree exemption lottery for 20,000 additional visas for those with U.S. master\“s degrees or higher. Selected registrants are notified and have 90 days to submit complete petition packages with supporting documentation. The lottery aims to provide equal opportunity for all qualified applicants when demand exceeds supply. |
