The H1B 2021 second lottery was conducted to fill remaining visa slots after the initial selection process. This additional lottery provided another opportunity for applicants who were not selected in the first round.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the second lottery in late 2021 to meet the annual H1B visa cap. This was particularly important for many international professionals seeking employment in specialized fields.
Applicants who had previously submitted their registrations but weren\“t selected in the first lottery automatically became eligible for the second drawing. No additional fees or submissions were required for consideration in this subsequent selection process.
