Immigration Announces 163,000 H-1B applications received

Immigration announced that it had received 163,000 H-1B applications. More than 31,000 of these visas were for jobs requiring a Masters degree. Immigration will first conduct a random lottery of those 31,000 for the 20,000 advanced degree slots. Those not selected will then go into the lottery for the 65,000 slots for H-1B visas. Therefore, there will be 143,000 applicants vying for 65,000 visas. Making the odds about 50/50.
