USCIS Announces FY2026 H-1B Cap Has Been Reached

USCIS has confirmed that the H-1B cap has been reached for FY2026. While this is not unexpected, it does confirm that a second round of selections will not take place this year.

As a reminder, the agency will continue to accept petitions that are exempt from the cap, including petitions requesting an extension or amendment of H-1B status, a change in H-1B employer, or for new concurrent H-1B employment.
