What does the data mean for H-1B workers?
- H-1B approvals were 399,395 in FY2024; the preliminary FY2025 figure is ~358,000 — about 10% lower. Projected
- India nationals received ~71% of all approvals, so cap and fee changes land hardest on them. Reported
- Denials edged up from ~25,500 (FY2024) toward ~30,000 (FY2025 preliminary). Projected

Key immigration dates
Real deadlines, counted down. Don't miss the window.
- RecurringH-1B
H-1B electronic registration
USCIS opens the H-1B cap registration window in early March for at least 14 calendar days — about two weeks. Miss it and you wait a full year for the next lottery.
- RecurringTaxes
Federal tax filing deadline
Individual returns are due April 15 — including nonresident (1040-NR) returns for many F-1 and J-1 visa holders. File or request an extension by this date.
IRS — Tax deadlines ↗Get help:Sprintax - RecurringGreen card
Diversity Visa (green-card) lottery
The DV lottery registration opens for about one month in the fall, free, for nationals of eligible countries. A rare path to a green card with no employer or family sponsor.
Dates recur each year; exact windows (H-1B registration, the DV lottery, the Visa Bulletin) are set by the agency annually — always confirm with the official source. Not legal or tax advice. Some “get help” links are partnerships. How this works →
