USCIS will start to accept FY 2023 H-1B Cap Registration<\/strong> for employment on Tuesday, 1st March 2022 <\/strong>at 12:00 pm ET. Employers and their immigration counsel will have until Friday, 18th March 2022<\/strong> at 12:00 pm ET to draft, review, e-sign, and submit their registrations to the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What employers need to do during the FY 2023 H-1B Cap registration period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your association will be working with immigration counsel<\/strong> to draft and submit H-1B cap registrations<\/strong>, the company should do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintain an \u201cH-1B registrant\u201d account in the USCIS online system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sponsoring employers should have an H-1B registrant <\/strong>account at USCIS.gov<\/strong>, even if they will be addressed by counsel during the registration process. See Fragomen’s FAQ to setting up an employer account for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify H-1B beneficiaries as soon as possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your association has not yet provided your immigration counsel with a complete list of foreign nationals<\/strong> to be registered for the H-1B cap<\/strong>, it should do so as soon as possible so that registrations can be submitted by the March 18 <\/strong>deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promptly review each registration drafted by immigration counsel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whenever your lawyer finishes drafting an H-1B cap registration<\/strong> for your organization, the company’s designated signatory should log into the USCIS system to review, approve and e-sign<\/strong> the registration. This is also an opportunity to decide if any changes should be made to the organization’s registrations. The registration period<\/strong> is brief, so the signatory should review registrations as soon as requested to do so by the attorney. See H-1B cap registration FAQ <\/strong>for instructions on reviewing and approving registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare for possible technology slowdowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The USCIS system<\/strong> is expected to have a very large number of clients between March 1 and March 18. This could result in slowdowns and technical glitches. Notify your team and the USCIS help desk <\/strong>if your organization encounters any issues. The risk of slowdowns increases as the registration deadline approaches. Prompt completion and submission of cap registrations can help to minimize last-minute issues.<\/strong> If the system becomes inoperable for any reason, USCIS has the authority to suspend registration. Should that happen, the agency would give employers further instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens after the registration period closes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the registration period closes on 18th March 2022. USCIS will run two cap lotteries to select the beneficiaries for whose sake an H-1B cap petition <\/strong>can be filed. The first lottery will contain all registered H-1B beneficiaries<\/strong>. USCIS will utilize this lottery to choose enough registrations to meet the regular H-1B cap of 65,000<\/strong>. The second lottery will contain all registered \u201cmaster\u2019s cap\u201d beneficiaries who were not chosen in the first lottery. USCIS will utilize this lottery to select enough registrations to meet the H-1B cap exemption of 20,000<\/strong> for holders of U.S. advanced degrees. Subsequent lotteries are possible if the number of H-1B petitions<\/strong> received as a result of the initial lotteries is insufficient to meet the FY 2023 quota<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USCIS plans to inform employers and immigration counsel of the lottery results by March 31. For each cap registration<\/strong>, USCIS should send an email to the employer’s approved<\/strong> signatory and immigration counsel. The email will notify the recipient that there has been a change in the status of a cap registration. To learn the lottery results<\/strong>, your lawyer and your organization’s approved signatory should get to their my.USCIS.gov <\/strong>account and review the status with every beneficiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[US district court upholds requirement to file amended H-1B petitions on change of job location<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

USCIS will start to accept H-1B cap petitions<\/strong> on behalf of lottery selectees on 1st April 2022<\/strong>. The petition filing period will end no earlier than 30th 2022.<\/strong> All FY 2023 H-1B cap petitions for beneficiaries selected in the March lotteries must be submitted during this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
