USCIS Will Accept H-1B Petitions for FY 2016 Beginning April 1, 2015

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.

Request to Stay Injunction

The Justice Department, on March 12, 2015, filed an emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, with attachments, in Texas v. United States, requesting that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals stay the district court’s nationwide preliminary injunction in its entirety or, at minimum, stay it with respect to implementation in states other than Texas, or states that are not parties to the suit.
