USCIS Reaches Fiscal Year 2026 Cap

Please be advised that USCIS has determined that they have already received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to fill both the H-1B Visa Regular Cap and the H-1B Master's Cap for Fiscal Year 2026 (H-1Bs that have an employment start date of October 1, 2025).  This means that now pending H1B cap subject applications will continue to be processed by USCIS, but no additional H-1B selections will be made this year.

This is very disappointing news to many.  If your company has an H-1B applicant that was not selected this year, there may be alternative immigration options. Our law office would be happy to schedule some time to explore these with you.  Otherwise, we regret that based on this update we will be closing all other H-1B preregistration cases, and no further action will be taken.

Should you wish to discuss potential alternatives for your employee, or if you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out Law Office of Adrienne Vaughan LLC.
