The US will conduct a rare second lottery for the H-1B visa to decide on the successful applicants. This move would provide another chance to hundreds of Indian IT professionals who could not make it in the first random selection. 

In June, the US immigration agency received over 3.1 lakh applications during the initial registration out of which 87,500 applicants were selected. 
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (UCIS) will start accepting fresh applications from August 2 till November 3, it said in a statement.

Online filing is not available for H-1B petitions. Petitioners filing H-1B petitions must do so by paper and must include a printed copy of the applicable registration selection notice with the FY 2022 H-1B cap-subject petition.
