H-1B visa selection notices rolling out: Who can check status and what you need to know

 H-1B visa selection notices for fiscal year 2027 are being issued, with some applicants already seeing their status updated to ‘Selected’ in USCIS online accounts. Selection allows employers to file full petitions, but does not guarantee approval. Those with ‘Submitted’ status may still be selected in future rounds. H-1B visa selection notices for fiscal year 2027 are being issued, with some applicants already seeing their status updated to ‘Selected’ in USCIS online accounts.
