Employers Prepare For H-1B Season!

Employers Prepare!

The FY 2022 H-1B Cap Registration Begins March 9, 2021

The H-1B visa is one of the most coveted non-immigrant visas due to foreign nationals’ ability to have dual intent (the intent to enter the U.S. on a temporary work visa and obtain an adjustment of status to an immigrant visa eventually). However, the U.S. has a cap each year on the number of H-1B visas that can be issued – and this cap is reached each year quickly. The efficient, accurate filing of your visa application is paramount to the success of your case.

HELPING YOU THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE H-1B PROCESS

Step 1: Employers interested in sponsoring H-1B beneficiaries will need to first electronically register the individuals with USCIS during the registration period given by USCIS.
Step 2: USCIS will conduct computer-generated random selection, aka Lottery, to select regular quota filing registrants, then the master’s quota filing registrants.
Step 3: USCIS will notify the selected registrants’ employer/sponsors electronically to file H-1B petitions within 90 days.
Step 4: Employers need to file an H-1B petition using the standard process.
Step 5: USCIS will adjudicate the petition as per their standard process and inform employers regarding their petition.

The FY 2022 H-1B Cap Registration period will begin March 9, 2021, and end March 25, 2021.

The USCIS will notify employers by March 31 and let them know whether their petitions have been selected in the Lottery. If chosen, employers will have up to 90 days to file an H-1B petition.
