FISCAL YEAR 2024 H-1B CAP REGISTRATION REGINS MARCH
U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced that the initial registration period for the fiscal year (FY) 2024 H-1B cap will open at noon ET on March 1, 2023, and run through noon ET on March 17, 2023. Once the registration period has closed, USCIS will apply random numeric selection processes (“lotteries”) to select registrations, first under the Regular H-1B Cap and then under the U.S. master’s Cap. USCIS anticipates notifying those selected by March 31, 2021. Petitioners with selected registrations may proceed with filing H-1B petitions during the designated filing period, April 1, 2023, through June 30, 2023. USCIS has not announced yet if Premium Processing will be available for new H-1B cap filings; however, Premium Processing has been discontinued for cap petitions in recent years.
