H1B lottery

Mar 26 20 Comments

My attorney is Seyfarth. They are generally slow to notify H1B selectees. It’s my last lottery attempt and my SEVP portal hasn’t been updated for employment dates. Does it mean I’m not selected? Please no trolls #

Edit : Final attempt guys whose OPT ends before Sep 30- Can anyone selected check their sevp if possible?

    1. Results will keep on coming untill 31st in batches.
    2. Sevp will be updated once your h1b is approved not when your application is selected in a lottery.
    3. Some big firms have to deal with 1000+ applicants, so expect some delays, some even take more than a week to notify candidates.

    Sevp does not get updated. I’ve read online that sevis might get updated but that’s only visible to DSOs (and I’m not sure how true this is)

    But there is absolutely no way for you to be certain until your lawyer informs you. So stay hopeful

  • SEVIS doesn't get updated with this new system of lottery. Till 2019, attorneys had to send the entire H1B application in paper format on 1st April and then the lottery was done. That paper application if it was filed as change of status had your SEVIS number. That's why till 2019, you could check your SEVIS through DSO to find out. But now, there is an electronic registration for the lottery and only if selected, attorneys have to send the paper application for H1B petition. Since the lottery registration only requires your Name, Date of Birth, Passport Number and whether advanced degree cap or not, SEVIS won't be updated...To update SEVIS, USCIS needs to know your SEVIS ID, which is not given out in this electronic registration process.

  • I got an email from my HR department (we use Fragomen) that I was not selected.
