Registration Period for FY 2021 H1B Cap Begins on March 1, 2020

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the initial registration period for the FY 2021 H1B cap will open at noon EST on March 1, 2020 [PDF version]. This initial registration period will end on March 20, 2020.

Prospective petitioners and representatives will be able to fill out prospective petitioner and beneficiary information and submit their registrations during the FY 2021 H1B cap registration period.

The USCIS will assign a confirmation number to each H1B registration submitted for the FY 2021 H1B cap. The USCIS advises that this number is only for tracking registrations and not for tracking case status.

We discuss the H1B registration rules and process in a separate blog post [see blog].
