  1. Will I have a better chance in being selected in the CAP if my employer submits my H-1B registration on the first day, or the last day?

It does not matter what day your H-1B CAP registration is submitted, it is a lottery selection process. All registrations submitted within the registration period are eligible for selection. We highly recommend that your H-1B CAP registration is submitted a few days after registration officially opens and a few days before registration officially closes due to technical glitches that often occur with the system due to system overload.
