The fiscal year 2027 (March 2026) H-1B cap registration period will open at noon ET on Wednesday, March 4, 2026 and close at noon ET on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
H-1B cap registrations are submitted electronically via USCIS’s website. H-1B cap lottery winners are then eligible to submit an H-1B petition between April 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026.
The H-1B cap lottery is open to employees filling positions requiring Bachelor’s degrees, which may include healthcare occupations such as Medical Technologists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, and even Registered Nurses.
Notable changes to this year’s H-1B cap season are:
USCIS will require a $100,000 payment for new H-1B visa applicants who are outside the US at the time of their cap case filing.
USCIS has announced that lottery selection will be weighted, with more entries for selection given to H-1B candidates with high wages.
For the latest on USCIS’s H-1B changes and to
ensure your own H-1B filing strategy, please reach out to your MU attorney.
