For employers seeking to recruit or hold skilled foreign professionals<\/strong> in the specialty (occupations for which a degree is required), helping with getting H-1B status<\/strong> for the foreign national is often a key tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are only 85,000 <\/strong>total new H-1B’s available every year (65,000<\/strong> every year generally, with an additional 20,000 <\/strong>for people with an advanced degree). Demand is typically much higher than the number of new H-1B’s<\/strong> available, resulting in a random selection process run by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The H-1B lottery<\/strong>, as it is called, happens in March for the government’s fiscal year that begins October 1<\/strong>. Thus employers need to act now if they desire to get one of the 85,000 new H-1B spots <\/strong>that will be available beginning 1st Oct 2022 (the start of the government\u2019s 2023 fiscal year<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B status often serves as a bridge between foreign student status<\/strong> and permanent residency. H-1B status<\/strong> allows a foreign national who works in a specialty occupation. To live and work in the United States for as long as six years<\/strong>. Moreover, people in H-1B status are free to look for permanent residency while in H-1B status. Something that is not generally allowed for people in foreign student or other temporary work statuses<\/strong>. Therefore, people in other nonimmigrant statuses<\/strong>, such as TN or E-3, might be looking to move into H-1B status to facilitate a later move to permanent resident status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals can register for H-1B Status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For many years, employers who needed to get a cap-subject lottery spot <\/strong>were required to complete full H-1B petitions. Also, they should submit them during the first five business days of April<\/strong>. If more petitions were filed during that period then H-1B spots<\/strong> are available. USCIS would hold a lottery in April to decide which petitions would be reviewed. This resulted in numerous employers spending money on attorneys\u2019 fees<\/strong> for petitions that were never even considered by USCIS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in 2020, a new registration system<\/strong> was set up. Under the new system, employers are given a period in March to register workers who they might want to have considered for H-1B status <\/strong>beginning in October. If more people are registered in the lottery than there are H-1B spots available, then a lottery will be conducted. Only those selected in the lottery are allowed to move forward with completing a full H-1B petition packet<\/strong> to seek H-1B status. This year, the registration period begins at 11 a.m<\/strong>. Central on March 1 and ends at 11 Central on March 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People should be registered before the cut-off time<\/strong> on March 18 to be considered for H-1B status if a lottery is held. It is expected that a lottery will be required for this year. As the pattern has been for the number of H-1B registrations<\/strong> to greatly exceed the number of H-1B spots available. In 2020, the registration period yielded 275,000 registrations.<\/strong> In 2021, that number expanded to 308,613 <\/strong>registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an individual is chosen in the lottery<\/strong>, the employer will have 90 days<\/strong>. To submit a petition for H-1B status to USCIS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
