\u00a0<\/strong>On December 6, 2019, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (\u201cUSCIS\u201d) formally announced the implementation of the H-1B registration process for fiscal year 2021 H-1B cap-subject petitions.\u00a0Employers seeking to file H-1B cap-subject petitions for the fiscal year 2021 cap, including those eligible for the advanced degree exemption, must first electronically register and pay the associated $10 H-1B registration fee.<\/p>\n The purpose of implementing this new electronic registration process is to dramatically reduce paperwork and data exchange, and will provide an overall cost savings to petitioning employers.<\/p>\n Under this new process, employers seeking H-1B workers subject to the cap, or their authorized representatives, will complete a registration process that requires only basic information about their company and each requested worker. USCIS will open an initial registration period from March 1 through March 20, 2020. The H-1B random selection process, if needed, will then be run on those electronic registrations. Only those with selected registrations will be eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions.<\/p>\n Per USCIS on March 31, 2020, selected registrants will be notified of their eligibility to continue the H-1B cap-subject filing process. Registrants will have 90 days to file their H-1B cap-subject petitions beginning April 1, 2020. A cap-subject H-1B petition will be considered properly filed if it is based on a valid, selected registration for the same beneficiary. Petitioners can register multiple aliens during a single online submission.<\/p>\n For information and question, please contact Wang Law Group, PLLC at 615-369-7069, Email: info@vwanglaw.com<\/u>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (Source of information: USCIS) \u00a0On December 6, 2019, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (\u201cUSCIS\u201d) formally announced the implementation of the H-1B registration process for fiscal year 2021 H-1B cap-subject petitions.\u00a0Employers seeking to file H-1B cap-subject petitions for the fiscal year 2021 cap, including those eligible for the advanced degree exemption, must first electronically register and […]\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[20],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vwanglaw.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
