USCIS RUNS RANDOM SELECTION PROCESS FOR H-1B PETITIONS
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today conducted the
computer-generated random selection processes on H-1B petitions, to select which H-1B petitions
for fiscal year 2009 (FY 2009) would continue to full adjudication. If approved these H-1B
petitions will be eligible to receive an H-1B visa number.
USCIS conducted two random selections, first on petitions qualifying for the 20,000 “master’s or
higher degree” (advanced degree) exemption, and second on the remaining advance degree
petitions together with the general H-1B pool of petitions, for the 65,000 cap.
The approximately 163,000 petitions received on the first five days of the eligible filing period
for FY 2009 (April 1 through April 7, 2008) were labeled with unique numerical identifiers.
USCIS has notified the appropriate service centers which numerical identifiers have been
randomly selected, so each center may continue with final processing of the petitions associated
with those numerical identifiers.
Petitioners whose properly filed petitions have been selected for full adjudication should receive a
receipt notice dated no later than June 2, 2008. USCIS will return unselected petitions with the
fee(s) to petitioners or their authorized representatives. As previously announced, duplicate
filings will be returned without the fee. The total adjudication process is expected to take
approximately eight to ten weeks.
For cases selected through the random selection process and initially filed for premium
processing, the 15-day premium processing period begins today (April 14), the day of the random
selection process.
USCIS has “wait-listed” some H-1B petitions, meaning they may possibly replace petitions
chosen to receive an FY-2009 cap number, but that subsequently are denied, withdrawn, or
otherwise found ineligible. USCIS will retain these petitions until a decision is made whether
they will replace a previously selected petition. USCIS will send a letter to the wait list
petitioners to inform them of their status
USCIS expects that for each of these wait-listed petitions, it will either issue a receipt notice or
return the petition with fees within six to eight weeks.

USCIS 指出，該局把4月1日到7日間收到的16萬3000件申請案件，每件都用電腦數據編碼。14日當天，先對3萬1200多個碩士以上學位的高學歷申請類別進 行電腦抽籤，抽出兩萬個中獎者，隨後又把所有其他的申請文件加入抽籤，再抽出6萬5000個中獎者，兩類加起來共選出8萬5000件申請案。
USCIS也選出一定數額的備取申請案件（wait-listed），一旦上述8萬5000個申請中有人被剔除或自動退出，空出來的名額就由這些備取申請案件來填補。移民局預計在未來六至八周內向這些備取申請人發出通知，空缺填補完畢之後的備取申請案件則會被退件。
移民局已把抽中的號碼通知加州和佛蒙特服務中心，這兩個中心即日起開始受理這些被抽中的申請案件。這期間已經申請加急服務的人，移民局從14日起就優先處理，按規定在15個工作日內回覆這些加急申請人。
移民局預計在一個月內完成審理工作，因此申請人最遲在6月2日會收到移民局的通知。
對那些抽籤未中的申請案件，移民局將自即日起陸續退件給申請單位。
