USCIS reaches fiscal year 2022 H-1B cap
March 3, 2022
For fiscal year (FY) 2022, USCIS has received enough petitions needed to reach the congressionally mandated 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master’s cap. H-1B visas are used by U.S. businesses to employ foreign workers in specialty fields. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are exempt from the cap. Petitions that were filed for current H-1B workers who have been counted before against the cap, and who still retain their cap number, are exempt from the FY 2022 H-1B cap.
