USCIS has published the Cap Count for Advanced Degree for the first time in several years and it’s more than General Category applications. Have a look of cap type and number of petitions below.

 

The applications for Advanced Degree is more than General Cap. In total, USCIS received 190,098 H1B Visa 2019 applications.

So now, applicants have to wait for receipt numbers from USCIS for the petitions selected in the lottery. It can take until Mid-May for all the receipt notices to be mailed (as per previous years data) by USCIS.

As there will be a expected time delay between when USCIS mails the receipt to and when your attorney would send it to you, It might take longer for applicants to receive the receipt numbers.

The receipt notice will be received only by H1B visa petitions selected in the lottery. Others have to wait long to know if their petition is selected in the lottery. H1B package would not be returned until late July. There are some cases when H1B Visa receipt notice come as late as September (odd case).
