The H1B visa lottery for fiscal year 2023 was conducted in March 2022. The initial registration period typically opens in early March, with the lottery selection occurring shortly after the registration window closes. USCIS uses a computer-generated random selection process to choose which registrations will be eligible for H1B visa petition filing.
For FY 2023, USCIS received 483,927 registrations and selected 127,600 registrations to meet the 85,000 H1B visa cap. Selected applicants then had from April 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, to file their complete H1B petitions with USCIS.
The H1B visa process involves multiple steps including employer registration, lottery selection, petition filing, and adjudication. It\“s important for applicants to work closely with their employers and immigration attorneys to ensure all deadlines and requirements are met. |
