FY 2021 H-1B Cap-Subject Nonselection Notices Issued

Feb 19, 2021 | Nonimmigrant Visas

According to reports, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) appears to have finished selecting H-1B cap-subject lottery registrations for fiscal year (FY) 2021 (Oct. 1, 2020-Sept. 30, 2021). Employers and counsel who have not yet been notified can check their accounts in https://my.uscis.gov/ for a Form I-797C, Registration Nonselection. (The nonselection notices include a typo referring to FY 2022 rather than FY 2021. USCIS said it will send corrected notices.)
