A USCIS News Release reminds the public that USCIS will begin accepting FY2016 H-1B petitions on April 1, 2015. USCIS projects that it will receive more petitions than the H-1B cap and reminds the public that if USCIS receives a number of petitions in excess of the cap in the first five days, all petitions will be subject to a random selection lottery. USCIS will reject all unselected cap-subject petitions, as well as any petitions received after the cap is met.
