U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will start accepting H-1B petitions subject to FY 2015 cap on April 1, 2014. Cases will be considered accept on the date that USCIS receives a properly filed petition with the correct fee.

The mandated cap on H-1B visas for FY 2015 is 65,000. The first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed for individuals with a U.S master’s degree or higher are except from the 65,000 cap. Due to expected estimates, USCIS anticipates to receive more than enough petitions to reach both caps by April 7th (first 5 business days since the start of the FY 2015). USCIS has temporarily adjusted its current premium processing practice. To facilitate the prioritized intake of cap-subject petitions requesting premium processing, USCIS will begin premium processing for H-1B cap cases no later than April 28, 2014. Visit USCIS Alert for more information on premium processing for FY 2015 petitions.

H-1B petitioners should follow all requirements to avoid delays and requests for evidence. All processes for filing H-1B can be found on the USCIS website, www.uscis.gov.  FY 2015 H-1B filing Tips are provided by Zhang and Associates.
