The H1B visa lottery system determines which applicants will receive work authorization in the United States. Each year, USCIS receives more applications than the available 85,000 visas, making selection purely random through a computer-generated lottery process.
Recent statistics show that the chances of being selected in the H1B lottery vary annually based on application volume. For the 2024 fiscal year, the overall selection probability was approximately 25-30% for regular cap applicants and 50-60% for advanced degree holders due to the master\“s cap exemption.
Several factors influence your H1B lottery odds, including whether you hold an advanced degree from a U.S. institution, the timing of your application submission, and the total number of petitions received by USCIS during the filing period.
To improve your chances, ensure your petition is complete and accurate, consider applying under the advanced degree exemption if qualified, and explore alternative visa options as backup plans since the lottery remains unpredictable despite any preparation. |
