The selection processes
USCIS used historical data related to denials, approvals, revocations, and other significant factors to determine the number of registrations to meet the H-1B cap for the fiscal year. They added that they needed to pick additional registrations to reach the targeted number.
It’s important to note that USCIS follows the October to September financial year, so they will continue to accept fresh petitions until November 3.
That said; H-1B petitions cannot be filed online. Petitioners must do it on paper and they must provide a printed copy of their applicable registration selection notice with the Fiscal Year 2022 H-1B cap-subject petition.
The selection process was random and the second to be done this year, with the first being done in March 2021. Only the petitions with selected registration for FY 2022 are eligible, and for those with selected registrations for that fiscal year, the initial filing period was from April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
