This year’s H-1B electronic registration period will close at noon ET this Friday, March 18.
Key Points:
Background: This will be the third cap season in which USCIS will use the H-1B electronic registration process. USCIS received 308,613 registrations last year and 274,237 the year before. Demand for H-1B visas is expected be high again this cap season. In each of the last two years, USCIS has conducted more than one lottery. Whether this happens again will depend on several factors, including how many petitions are submitted from the registrations that are selected in the initial draw.
