It seems the quota is not fulfilled and USCIS is doing a re-lottery . I just saw an update on h1b cap wiki page as well on Amazon . #workvisa #h1b https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/uscis-reopens-h-1b-lottery-as-petitions-for-fy21-decline-due-to-covid-19-5705381.html
The news is true. I just got my lawyers confirm my selection today.
Congratulations!
Which law firm ?
Why? Wasn't the goal to not let any new H1Bs this year? This would mainly help OPT people since anyone outside the US won't get a visa anyway.
all those petitions outside US were withdrawn
So this is just for OPT and those switching from L1 to H1B?
I thought USCIS shut down due to lack of funding
Many ppl who got selected had their offer rescinded or got layoff, so there are some room for this relottery
Can someone who didn't apply for H-1B apply in this scheme or is it only for those for whom H-1B petition was filed earlier?
Only for those whose registration was filed in March but weren’t picked up in the lottery.
How many were selected in relottery?
Any Amazonian got update?
Any link that you can share for more details?
I am not able to find an external link but the amazon h1b cap 2020 wiki page is updated today with this information
