USCIS has completed data entry for all fiscal year 2020 H-1B cap-subject petitions selected in its computer-generated random selection process, including those selected under the U.S. advanced degree exemption. Due to the volume of filings, USCIS cannot provide a definite time frame for returning unselected petitions. Some Form I-129 H-1B cap-subject petitions between the Vermont Service Center and the California Service Center to balance the workload and enhance efficiencies.

Jackson & Hertogs will likely continue to receive receipt notices, as the notices are sent by USPS regular mail. We are notifying clients as soon as receipt notices arrive in our office.
As we start to receive cap rejections, we will similarly notify clients. Until either a receipt notice or a rejection is received, we cannot advise any client as to the outcome of their specific case. For petitions where Jackson Hertogs (not the petitioner) issued the filing fee checks, we are reviewing our records for canceled checks.
