How does USCIS decide which H-1B petitions to be selected if the quota runs out on April 1?
If the H-1B quota is reached during any day during the first five days from April 1, USCIS will pool petitions received within the first five business days of accepting applications for the 2009 fiscal year, and apply a random selection process among all H-1B petitions received during this time period. This rule applies to both the standard 65,000 H-1B quota and 20,000 advanced degree quota.
