Great news! If your petition has been submitted already, it wont go to lottery.

Lottery will be conducted only for those petitions received on "final receipt date" ... to select required number of petitions to meet the cap quota.

What is "final receipt date":-  "final receipt date" is the day when the cap is reached or exceeded. USCIS will notify when the quota is reached as "final receipt date".

Petitions received before "final receipt date" are processed directly.

Congrats to all you guys who have applied for H1B this time.. specially those who were struggling to get H1B in general cap. . Seems Indian consultancy did not apply with the fear of getting screwed up. People applying through smaller consultancies with be benefited this time.
