<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">The annual H-1B visas become available on April 1, 2015.   There are 65,000 H-1B visas allotted annually.  Aliens can send their applications starting April 1, 2015.  Usually the visa applications exceed the visas available in the first few days.   Aliens whose visa applications are accepted by the USCIS and are later adjudicated and approved can start their H-1B visa status on October 1, 2015.  Since it takes time to prepare an H-1B application, it is recommended to start the procedure in February to make sure all requirements for the application are timely prepared.</span></p>
