United States: USCIS Completes Return of Unselected FY 2018 H-1B Cap Petitions
USCIS today announced that it has finished returning H-1B petitions
that were not selected in the FY 2018 cap lottery. Employers with cases not
chosen for processing should receive their returned petition packages and fee
checks by July 31, 2017.
USCIS continues to work on pending cap cases and to issue requests for evidence
(RFEs). Employers who receive RFEs should work with their Fragomen
professionals to quickly assemble any additional facts or documents necessary
for a response. The sooner an RFE response is submitted, the greater the
likelihood that the case will be decided in time for an October 1, 2017 H-1B
employment start date.
If you have any questions, please contact the immigration professional with
whom you work at Fragomen. This alert is for informational purposes only.
