U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services opened this year’s H-1B electronic registration period at noon ET today. The registration period will close at noon ET on March 17.
Here is some of the key information for those new to the process or in need of a refresher:
Background: This will be the fourth cap season in which USCIS is using the H-1B electronic registration system. USCIS received a record 483,927 registrations last year for a total of 85,000 H-1B visas.
BAL Analysis: Employers should expect demand for H-1B visas to be high again this cap season. Employers are encouraged to work closely with BAL regarding which petitions should be fully prepped before the registration lottery and possible H-1B alternatives for registrations that are not selected.
