H-1B Registration Tool

A U.S. employer or agent (prospective petitioner) who seeks to obtain H-1B nonimmigrant classification
on behalf of an individual subject to the H-1B numerical allocations will need to submit a registration
during a designated registration period, unless the registration requirement is suspended by USCIS.
Prospective petitioners, or their attorneys or accredited representatives, may submit up to 250
submission.
registrations per submission.
The annual initial registration period will last a minimum of 14 calendar days and will start at least 14
calendar days before the earliest date on which H-1B cap-subject petitions may be filed for a particular
fiscal year.
If a sufficient number of registrations projected as needed to reach the H-1B regular cap have not been
received within the initial registration period, USCIS will notify all registrants who have properly
registered that their registrations have been selected. USCIS will keep registration open past the initial
registration period until USCIS has determined that it has received enough registrations projected as
needed to meet the H-1B regular cap.
After the end of the initial registration period, if USCIS has received more registrations than needed to
meet the projected number of registrations to reach the regular cap, we will randomly select a sufficient
number of registrations. A similar process will apply for those who may be eligible for the advanced
degree exemption. A Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, may then be filed by the
petitioner based on a selected registration to request classification of the beneficiary as an H-1B worker.
