The H1B Visa Cap
USCIS generally issue a maximum of 65,000 regular H1B visas each year, with some exceptions: The distribution of this much visa is as follow.
- The first 20,000 visas awarded to people who hold master’s degrees or higher do not count against the limit. It means that the skilled and qualified people will get first priority in this visa lottery. on the other hand it is not counted in the given limit.
- Visas for people entering the US to work in higher education or in affiliated research/non-profit organizations may also be exempt from the capacity. Like people working in this sector may not be included for the 65 thousand visas.
- 6800 visas are normally reserved for citizens of Chile and Singapore, under the special H1-B1 visa.
So the people of these two countries have more chance to win the lottery. This number is deducted from the total visa allocation.
Because of the strict limits, H-1B visas are granted on a lottery basis. So it is somehow similar to diversity visa lottery commonly known as DV lottery.
This means there is no guarantee that, even if you qualify, you will be awarded your visa. (Of course, if you do not apply, you cannot win the lottery.)
Finally we would like to express our best wishes to all the applicants of H-1B visa lottery.
