H-1B Cap Initial Registration Period Opens on March 9

USCIS just announced that the effective date of the H-1B Wage Selection Final Rule will be delayed until December 31, 2021. Accordingly, USCIS will use the random selection process it used last year for the FY2022 H-1B cap season.

The initial registration period for FY2022 H-1B cap will open at noon (ET) on March 9 and run through noon (ET) on March 25. During this period, prospective petitioners and representatives will be able to fill out petitioner and beneficiary information and submit their registration.

Required Fees:
$10 for each registration. Each registration is for a single beneficiary.

Important Dates:
March 9: H-1B registration period opens at noon ET.
March 25: H-1B registration period closes at noon ET.
March 31: Date by which USCIS intends to notify selected registrants.
April 1: The earliest date that FY 2022 H-1B cap-subject petitions may be filed.

Selections will take place after the initial registration period closes, so there is no requirement to register on the day the initial registration period opens. For more information about the H-1B program, visit our H-1B Specialty Occupations webpage.
