USCIS Lottery System

USCIS anticipates that it may receive more petitions than it can accept for adjudication. USCIS will monitor the number of petitions received and notify the public of the date on which the numerical limit of the H-1B cap has been met. If USCIS receives more petitions than it can accept, USCIS will use a lottery system to randomly select the number of petitions required to reach the numerical limit. USCIS will reject petitions that are subject to the cap and are not selected.

To summarize, if you have not yet applied for H1 in your company, this is the last week to do so as petition will be filed on the 1st of April 2015
