Filing H-1B Quota Cases Next Year

Question details

Can you let me know when we can start filing H-1B cases again for this year?

ANSWER

If the beneficiary is not subject to the quota, you can file an H-1B for them at any time.  If the beneficiary is subject to the quota, the new H-1B cannot be submitted to USCIS  before April 1, 2014, with an effective date of October 1, 2014.  We will start working on next year’s quota cases in January 2014.
