Why to Prepare for H-1b Cap Season Now
H-1b cap season is rapidly approaching. USCIS has created a new lottery system, which changes the process and requires advance planning. Here is why you should get started now.
Get Ready for H-1b Cap Season
H-1b cap season is rapidly approaching. This year, it is especially important to be ready. Companies must register all candidates in March and will have only 90 days to submit applications for lottery winners.
How Does the New H-1b Registration Affect My Business?
USCIS has made it official: All companies must register between March 1st and March 20th for the H-1b cap season lottery. Registration will require basic information about the company sponsor and the beneficiary, an attestation of intent to file, and a $10 registration fee.
