As the annual H-1B lottery season begins on March 6, a new report finds the odds of any H-1B hopeful winning the visa lottery have only gotten worse in the past three years. The National Foundation for American Policy attributes this to the caps on these visas. Last year, 25% of the 758,994 eligible registrants were selected, down from 27% in 2022, 44% in 2021 and 46% in 2020. The top employers of H-1B visa holders did not see their denial rates increase in FY 2023. However, many mid-range filers saw their rates rise.
