H-1B Registration Tool

AUTHORITIES: The information requested on this form is collected under the Immigration and
Nationality Act sections 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) and 214(a), (c)(1), (g); 8 U.S. Code 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) and
1184(a), (c)(1), and (g); and the regulatory authority under 8 Code of Federal Regulations 214.2(h).
PURPOSE: The primary purpose for providing the requested information on this form is to register
prospective beneficiaries for the annual H-1B cap selection process. DHS uses the provided information
to select a projected number of registrations needed to generate a sufficient number of H-1B cap
petitions to reach the annual H-1B numerical limitations, including the advanced degree exemption, and
associate selected registrations with subsequently filed H-1B cap petitions. Unless the registration
requirement is suspended, a petitioner must have a selected registration to be eligible to file an H-1B
cap petition for the named beneficiary.
DISCLOSURE: The information you provide is voluntary. However, failure to provide the requested
information may preclude you from filing an H-1B cap petition on the named beneficiary’s behalf.
ROUTINE USES: DHS may share the information you provide on this form and any additional requested
evidence with other Federal, state, local, and foreign government agencies and authorized
organizations. DHS follows approved routine uses described in the associated published system of
records notices [DHS-USCIS-007 Benefits Information System] and the published privacy impact
assessments [DHS/USCIS/PIA-034(a) H-1B Registration Final Rule] which you can find at
www.dhs.gov/privacy. DHS may also share this information, as appropriate, for law enforcement
purposes or in the interest of national security.
