H-1B 2026 Cap Reached – What You Need to Know NOW! Opening Line: Big news for anyone following U.S. immigration—the H1B cap for 2026 is officially FULL. If you're a student, tech worker, or employer, here’s everything you need to know in under 5 minutes. CAP FILLED USCIS has announced that the full 85,000 H1B visas for FY 2026 have been used up—that includes 65,000 regular slots and 20,000 for U.S. advanced degrees. No more cap-subject petitions will be accepted. If you missed it—you’ll need to wait until next spring for FY 2027. LESS COMPETITION THIS YEAR Interestingly, registrations dropped by nearly 27% this year—from about 470,000 to just over 343,000. That means your chances of getting picked went UP—from about 29% last year to 35% this year. FILING & TECH ISSUE The initial lottery ended on March 31, and the filing window ran through June 30. BUT—there was a technical glitch on the last day, so USCIS gave a short extension until July 1, 7:30 PM EDT. POSSIBLE FUTURE CHANGES The Department of Homeland Security is working on a new rule to shift H1B selection from random to wage-based—giving preference to higher-paid, higher-skilled workers. It’s currently under review at the White House. So what now? If you didn’t get picked, you’re done for FY 2026. But if you’re cap-exempt—like working at a university—you can still apply anytime. Or consider alternatives: L1, O1, or employer-sponsored green cards.
