Update: FY2025 H-1B Cap Registration Results

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced the Fiscal Year 2025 H-1B cap lottery results, revealing a significant drop in the number of registrations—470,342, down 38.6% from 758,994 in FY 2024. This reduction is attributed to new USCIS policies aimed at enhancing program integrity, including curbing the unusually high rate of multiple registrations per individual last year.

In the FY2025 H-1B Cap lottery, USCIS selected 114,017 beneficiaries, resulting in 120,603 selected registrations. Given these numbers, the likelihood of a second lottery for the FY 2025 H-1B cap appears slim.
