Understanding the FIVE DAY WINDOW - FY 2015

All petitions are to be physically received by the USCIS during this five day window to be eligible for the FY 2015 lottery. This strictly means that any petitions received earlier that April 1st, 2014 (Tuesday) or after April 7th, 2014 (Monday) will be rejected without any sort of consideration. USCIS has received about 124,000 petitions for a total of 85,000 visas last year for FY 2014.  A majority of residual 39,000 applicants, who were not selected in H1B 2014 lottery shall be potential applicants for FY 2015 quota. This is in addition to the Masters students studying in for-profit schools that are under scrutiny and shall be rendered ineligible if they applied in t Masters quota - forcing them to apply in the general category. In summary - it is imperative that adequate planning and timing are mandatory to ensure you meet the window with the right documentation.
