An Additional 20,000-25,000+ Visas to Be Issued Update 7/28/2023: Please read our attorneys’ answers to frequently asked questions about the second-round H-1B lottery here. Clients and employers have been anxious to know if USCIS will conduct a second-round lottery for the fiscal year 2024 starting October 1, 2023.
