FY 2024: H-1B Visa Hopefuls: Get Ready for Round Two of the Lottery!
Introduction:
The United States has long been a land of opportunity for skilled foreign workers seeking to contribute their talents and expertise to the nation's thriving economy. The H-1B visa program, designed for specialty occupation workers, has been a coveted pathway to work in the U.S. However, with the H-1B cap consistently exceeded by demand, securing this visa has become an exciting yet challenging journey. In this blog, we'll dive into the H-1B visa process, the recent announcement of a second lottery for FY 2024, and valuable insights to unlock your path to success.
Understanding the H-1B Visa Program:
The H-1B visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in occupations that require specialized knowledge and skills. From technology experts to healthcare professionals, the H-1B program fuels innovation and addresses skill shortages across various sectors. Each fiscal year, the number of available H-1B visas is capped, leading to intense competition among employers and prospective beneficiaries.
The Initial Lottery: Hopeful Beginnings
The H-1B journey for FY 2024 began with the initial random selection lottery in March 2023. Employers submitted electronic registrations for their prospective workers, hoping for the chance to secure an H-1B cap-subject petition. USCIS carefully selected beneficiaries from the pool of registered candidates, marking the beginning of many dreams.
The Need for a Second Lottery:
As the dust settled from the first lottery, USCIS made a surprising announcement—a second random selection process for FY 2024. The reason? A record-breaking influx of registrations, with beneficiaries having multiple employers vying for their expertise. While this was a positive indication of the high demand for skilled workers, it raised concerns about the registration process's integrity.
Navigating the Second Lottery:
The second H-1B lottery presents a fresh opportunity for prospective beneficiaries whose registrations were not initially selected. For those fortunate enough to be chosen this time, they gain eligibility to file H-1B cap-subject petitions. This chance of a lifetime could pave the way for a rewarding career in the United States.
Preparing for Success:
Employers and aspiring H-1B beneficiaries should now stand on the frontlines, attentively monitoring updates from USCIS. A selected registration will prompt a notice in the registrant's myUSCIS account, signaling the green light for petition filing. The key to seizing this opportunity lies in preparedness—gathering all required documentation and information to swiftly proceed with the filing process.
The Bigger Picture: Trends and Future Optimism
The steep rise in H-1B registrations is not an isolated event. Recent years have seen an upward trend, underscoring the U.S.'s continued attraction to global talent. USCIS's dedication to preventing misuse and ensuring fairness bodes well for genuine employers and beneficiaries, as it strengthens the program's integrity.
Beyond the Second Lottery: What's Next?
While the second H-1B lottery dominates discussions, there is much more to the journey. Beneficiaries and employers should remain forward-thinking, anticipating additional updates from USCIS on petition approvals and denials. The H-1B program's future is bright, with USCIS actively exploring modernization initiatives to enhance the registration process and meet evolving labor market needs.
Conclusion:
The H-1B visa journey is an adventure worth embarking upon—a gateway to unleashing your professional potential in the land of opportunity. The second lottery for FY 2024 may come as a surprise, but it is a testament to the program's vitality and the talent that enriches the American workforce. With careful preparation, vigilance, and optimism, prospective beneficiaries and employers can unlock the doors to success, making their mark in the diverse tapestry of the U.S. economy. Embrace the journey, and let your dreams take flight as you venture towards a bright and fulfilling future in the United States.

Sonic records 1.2 million unit sales in FY2024/Q1, according to SEGA's latest financial update
The Sonic the Hedgehog video game series kicked off the new fiscal year of 2024 at SEGA Sammy Holdings, SEGA's parent company, with a unit sales total of 1.2 million, versus 1.4 million from the same period last fiscal year.
The blue blur was presumably aided by sales of Sonic Frontiers and other repeat titles in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, which encompassed the three months ended late June in calendar year 2023.
SEGA's two full game titles in Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection and Sonic Origins Plus, both released very late into the first quarter, were not enough to produce rosy numbers in its respective segment: a total of 740,000 copies.
Despite that, the company appeared to be satisfied with the "steady overall performance" of the Consumer area of the Entertainment Contents division. They intend to seek more sales and revenue with the launch of new titles like Sonic Superstars at the half-way point of fiscal year 2024, which is approximately around Autumn in calendar year 2023.
Regarding the environment of the Entertainment Contents Business, in the consumer area, the market trends seem to have cooled down in reaction to changes in consumer behavior related to stay-at-home-and-spend initiatives brought in during the spread of COVID-19.
However, expectations for the growth of the game market continue to be high as the diversification in terms of service provision resulting in an environment having been created in which content and services can be delivered globally over the long-term, regardless of device or platform.
Meanwhile, net sales at SEGA Sammy in Q1 totalled to ¥108 million JPY, an increase of 63.4% from the same period last fiscal year; an operating income of ¥22.5 million JPY, an increase of 712.2%; ordinary income of ¥23 million JPY, an increase of 442.7%; and attributable profit of ¥17.2 million JPY, an increase of 446.4%.
The second quarter report in fiscal year 2024, which will cover July through September in calendar year 2023, will be released around 3 months from now.

BY JACOB SIEGELAND and LIEL LEIBOVITZ
The Israeli political class has known about the lopsided reality of the U.S.-Israel arrangement for some time, but for the past eight or nine years seems to have decided the farce had some value. For them, U.S. aid is valuable not because it is a good deal for Israel’s military-tech complex, but because the appearance of close strategic alignment with the U.S. serves as a public, tangible pledge, renewed annually, of Great Power backing, in a world that is largely hostile to the country’s existence. Even now, as it’s clear from Washington’s courtship of Iran that U.S. security pledges no longer mean what they once did (ask the Afghans, or before them the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and a long list of other former recipients of U.S. military aid), the value of these pledges to Israel has been based on the belief that other parties believe in them—and are therefore constrained accordingly. The point is for the world’s only hyperpower to be seen publicly putting a big diamond ring on Israel’s finger, even if the diamond is actually made of glass. The more “special” the relationship appears to others, the better.
As the price of its dependency, Israel is now being forced to downgrade its own defense industries. Whereas the previous MOU contained a special provision for Off-Shore Procurement (OSP) that allowed Israel to spend around 26% of the aid it received on domestic products, the new terms require that all aid received from Washington be spent inside the U.S. In 2018, Israel’s Defense Ministry projected that the new MOU would cost the country $1.3 billion annually in lost revenue and cause the loss of some 22,000 jobs. Moshe Gafni, a former chairman of the Knesset’s financial committee, warned of the deal’s “severe ramifications for the delicate fabric of the State of Israel, harming its security.” A separate assessment in 2020 by the Israeli think tank INSS, concluded that “anywhere between several thousand and 20,000 of the 80,000 jobs in the defense industries in Israel will be lost.”
In return for accepting Obama’s aid package, Israel has now become dangerously reliant on U.S. military technology. The result of this enforced dependency, according to the retired General Hacohen, is stunting the IDF. “Israel is so addicted to advanced U.S. platforms, and the U.S. weaponry they deliver, that we’ve stopped thinking creatively in terms of operational concepts,” Hacohen told the U.S. publication Defense News in 2016—two years before the new MOU went into effect.
This is especially dangerous because, having short-circuited Israeli competition and dumped tens of billions of dollars worth of equipment into Ukraine, the U.S. is increasingly having trouble arming itself—let alone anyone else. A recent report from the Government Accountability Office found systemic problems in the U.S. procurement system leading to widespread delays. The report found that more than half of the 26 major defense acquisition programs under review “had yet to deliver operational capability” and were delayed due to “supplier disruptions, software development delays, and quality control deficiencies.” And what does get produced often isn’t up to par. As part of its “special arrangement,” Israel gets preferential access to the F-35, but is then locked into a fleet of aircraft both riddled with technical problems and a poor fit for Israel’s strategic air priorities. At the risk of stating the obvious, it would be nice to be able to shop on the open market.
The consequences for Israel’s economy and to the country’s security posture will get more severe in coming years as the full bill from the MOU comes due. According to a congressional report, the “phasing out [of] Off-Shore Procurement (OSP) is to decrease slowly until FY2024, and then phase out more dramatically over the MOU’s last five years, ending entirely in FY2028.” As a consequence, the report notes “some Israeli defense contractors are merging with U.S. companies or opening U.S. subsidiaries”—in other words, transferring their personnel and capacities from Israel to the U.S.

extremely funny thing that is happening: I have never wanted a big traditional wedding where I have to admit in front of everyone i know that I have a big gay crush on my partner, but now that we're actually getting married, we're straight up having TWO DIFFERENT WEDDINGS.
Like, the reasoning makes sense (want the legal stuff done in FY2024, but logistically cant have a real wedding until 2025) but it's also very funny to say our compromise between having two very different ideal weddings is that we're just doing both lmao
#''ever since i was little ive dreamed of getting married in a nondescript courthouse Better Call Saul style''#☕️🥧#wedding stuff

Well, that’s... kind of concerning. I always felt like Dragonfly was highly ambitious for its budget class and it seems like there couldn’t be a worse time for that to turn out to be true, given the big Psyche debacle of that team massively spilling over their initial cost estimates to the point that they’ve messed up other completely unrelated missions down the line.

SEGA Sammy Holdings subsidiary SEGA Corporation will acquire Finnish mobile games company Rovio Entertainment for €706 million (approx. $773.8 million). The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024/3, and is contingent on the completion of reviews under applicable antitrust laws and other customary conditions.
Details
■ 1. Background and purpose of the Acquisition
(1) Positioning of the Consumer business for the Company
The Company positions the Consumer segment of its Entertainment Contents Business as a growth area under its Mid-Term Plan (FY2022/3-FY2024/3), and has accelerated its efforts to strengthen the business through initiatives such as converting existing IPs into global brands, strengthening user engagement through multi-platform support and enhanced media mix, etc.
As a part of its growth strategy to invest up to ¥250 billion during the five-year period ending FY2026/3, the Company has been exploring investment opportunities in the Consumer area to strengthen its development capabilities as well as to create new ecosystems.
In order to strengthen global development capabilities, SEGA has historically acquired numerous development studios, from the UK-based The Creative Assembly Ltd. in 2005, to the Japan-based ATLUS. CO., LTD. (formerly, Index Corporation) in 2013, and the acquired studios have all greatly expanded its scale while also releasing many new titles across the globe.
(2) Background of the Acquisition
The size of the global gaming market is projected to reach US$263.3 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2026. The mobile gaming market in particular, is set to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% to represent 56% of the global gaming market overall, an increase from 53% in 2022. (Source: IDG Report (dated October, 2022)).
The Company firmly believes that it is imperative to continue investing in its game development and operating capabilities, in order to further strengthen its position in this fast-growing mobile and global gaming market, which therefore led to the decision to acquire Rovio.
Through the Acquisition, the Company aims to take-in Rovio’s live-operated mobile game development capabilities and expertise in mobile game operation, to accelerate the development of mobile-compatible and multi-platform-supported version of SEGA’s existing game IPs, thereby strengthening and further accelerating global expansion of SEGA’s game portfolio.
(3) Purpose of the Acquisition
Rovio is a global mobile-first, games company that creates, develops and publishes mobile games, which have been downloaded over five billion times. Rovio is best known for the global Angry Birds brand, which started as a popular mobile game in 2009, and has since evolved from games to various entertainment, anime, and consumer products through brand licensing.
SEGA aims to accelerate its growth in the global gaming market and increase its corporate value by generating synergies between SEGA’s existing businesses and Rovio’s strengths, including its global IPs and live-operated mobile game development capabilities. More specifically, SEGA aims to create synergies with particular focus in the following areas:
Utilization of Rovio’s distinctive know-how in live service mobile game operation, to bring SEGA’s current and new titles to the global mobile gaming market, where there is large potential, and many users can be accessed.
**SEGA strongly believes Rovio’s platform, Beacon, holds 20 years of high-level expertise in live service-mobile game operation centered around the United States and Europe.
Rapid expansion of both companies’ fanbase by sharing know-how regarding multi-media expansion of global characters.
**Rovio and SEGA have both succeeded in extending its IPs, Angry Birds and Sonic the Hedgehog, to various media outside of video games, such as movies, anime, and merchandising, and accordingly hold a strong fanbase around the world as well as know-how regarding IP expansion.
Support cross-platform expansion of Rovio’s IP using SEGA’s capabilities.
**Rovio is aiming to expand its platform outside of mobile gaming, and SEGA will actively look to support this process through its capabilities.
■ 2. Comments from Haruki Satomi, President and Group CEO, Representative Director of SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS
Among the rapidly growing global gaming market, the mobile gaming market has especially high potential, and it has been SEGA’s long-term goal to accelerate its expansion in this field. I feel blessed to be able to announce such a transaction with Rovio, a company that owns Angry Birds, which is loved across the world, and home to many skilled employees that support the company’s industry leading mobile game development and operating capabilities. Historically, as represented by the Sonic the Hedgehog series, SEGA has released countless video game titles to various gaming platforms. I am confident that, through combination of both companies’ brands, characters, fanbase, as well as corporate culture and functionality, there will be significant synergies created going forward.
■ 3. Comments from Alexandre Pelletier-Normand, CEO of Rovio
I grew up playing Sonic the Hedgehog, captivated by its state-of-the-art design. Later, when I played Angry Birds for the first time, I knew that gaming had evolved into a true mainstream phenomenon, with the power to shape modern culture.
Joining Rovio has been an honor and I am proud to have seen Angry Birds continue to grow, as we released new games, series and films. Less known but equally impressive is our industry-leading proprietary technology platform, Beacon, holding 20 years of expertise, allowing tight-knit teams to develop world-class GaaS products.
Our mission is to ‘Craft Joy’ and we are thrilled at the idea of using our expertise and tools to bring even more joy to our players, enhancing and expanding Rovio’s and SEGA’s vibrant IPs.
Red and Sonic the Hedgehog: two globally recognized and iconic characters made by two remarkably complementary companies, with a worldwide reach that spans mobile, PC / console, and beyond. Combining the strengths of Rovio and SEGA presents an incredibly exciting future.

Only 24 Days Left in Filing Your FY2024 H-1B Cap Petitions Now!
Key Points:
The deadline to file cap-subject petitions for FY2024 H-1B cap is June 30, 2023.
Only 24 days are remaining until the deadline.
Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) must be submitted no later than June 21, 2023, to ensure timely filing of H-1B petitions.
The H-1B visa program allows US employers to hire foreign workers in specialized occupations.
Failing to meet the deadline can result in petitions not being considered for the FY2024 H-1B cap.
Employers should start gathering necessary documentation and coordinating with legal counsel or immigration experts.
Being proactive and organized can increase the chances of securing H-1B visas for desired candidates.
Act promptly and prepare H-1B cap petitions to seize the opportunity to bring skilled professionals to your team.
Time is running out with only 24 days left, so take action now!
Summary:
Attention employers & employees! The deadline for filing cap-subject petitions for selected H-1B registrations is fast approaching. With only 24 days left until June 30, 2023, it's crucial to take action and submit your Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) by June 21, 2023, to ensure a timely filing of H-1B petitions. Read on to understand the significance of this deadline and the necessary steps to secure your H-1B visas for the upcoming fiscal year.
In-Depth take by RemitAnalyst:
Employers seeking to hire skilled foreign workers through the H-1B visa program must mark their calendars and make note of the impending submission deadline for FY2024 cap petitions. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has set the deadline for June 30, 2023, leaving only 24 days left to act. It's crucial to act promptly to ensure your petition is considered for the upcoming fiscal year's H-1B cap.
With just 24 days remaining until the deadline, time is of the essence. One important prerequisite for filing H-1B petitions is obtaining certified Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) from the Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL typically reviews LCAs within seven days, making it essential to submit your applications no later than June 21, 2023. Meeting this deadline will ensure that your H-1B petitions can be filed in a timely manner.
The H-1B visa program allows employers in the United States to hire foreign workers in specialized occupations. These occupations span various fields, including information technology, engineering, finance, healthcare, and more. With a limited number of H-1B visas available each year, the cap-subject petition process is highly competitive. Therefore, it's crucial to adhere to the submission deadline to maximize your chances of securing the visas for your desired candidates.
Failing to meet the deadline can have significant consequences, as petitions received after the June 30 cutoff date will not be considered for the FY2024 H-1B cap. This could potentially result in a missed opportunity to bring in skilled talent from overseas, affecting your workforce planning and business goals.
To ensure a smooth and successful filing process, it is advisable to start gathering the necessary documentation, reviewing job requirements, and coordinating with legal counsel or immigration experts well in advance. By being proactive and organized, you can navigate the complexities of the H-1B visa process and position your company for success.
In conclusion, the submission deadline for FY2024 H-1B cap petitions is approaching rapidly, with only 24 days left. Employers must act promptly and submit their cap-subject petitions by June 30, 2023. Remember to obtain certified LCAs from the DOL by June 21, 2023, to ensure timely filing. By meeting these deadlines and carefully preparing your petitions, you can increase your chances of securing H-1B visas for your desired candidates, enabling your organization to thrive with top talent.
Don't miss out on this opportunity! Start preparing your H-1B cap petitions now and seize the chance to bring skilled professionals to your team. Only 24 days left, so act fast!
