According to USCIS, sponsoring firms have until noon ET on March 06, 2024, to submit registrations for the FY 2025 H-1B quota. As in previous years, the registrations for which an H-1B cap petition may be filed will be chosen by USCIS through a computerized lottery that is conducted at random. USCIS will replace the registration-centric H-1B cap registration selection method that has been in place since 2020 with a beneficiary-centric one this year.
On February 28, 2024, at 12:00 ET, the USCIS’s new organizational account system will go online. Starting on that day and continuing through the end of the registration period on March 22, 2024, prospective H-1B employers will have the ability to create new accounts in the system, and current “registrant” account holders will have the ability to upgrade their current accounts to an organizational account.
Please contact us directly if you need help sponsoring workers for H1B visas.
