USCIS Sending Receipt Notices for Approved Cap-Subject FY 2014 H-1B Petitions

USCIS has informed stakeholders that the data entry process for FY 2014 H-1B cap-subject visas and receipt notices have been sent. Rejection notices have started to be distributed as well.

On April 5, 2013, USCIS announced that it had received enough H-1B visa petitions to reach the annual cap for FY 2014 as well as the advanced degree exemption. The federal agency stopped accepting cap-subject petitions on that day. Petitions were then randomly selected from that full set of submissions. USCIS states that all rejection and receipt notices should be received by the end of May.
