H-1B Registration
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. A petitioner may only submit one registration per beneficiary in any fiscal year.
Each registration must identify, among other things, the beneficiaryʼs name and valid passport or
travel document information (including passport or travel document number, country of issuance,
and expiration date). Each beneficiary may be registered under only one passport or travel document.
Prospective petitioners, or their attorneys or accredited representatives, may submit up to 250
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 for unique beneficiaries 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 for unique beneficiaries have been
selected. USCIS will keep registration open past the initial registration period until USCIS has
determined that it has received enough registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to
meet the H-1B regular cap.
A er the end of the initial registration period, if USCIS has received more registrations for unique
beneficiaries than needed to meet the projected number of registrations to reach the regular cap, we
will randomly select a sufficient number of registrations for unique beneficiaries. A similar process
will apply for those who may be eligible for the advanced degree exemption. Once USCIS selects a
registration for a unique beneficiary, all registrations for that beneficiary will be selected and eligible
to file 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.
USCIS may deny or revoke the approval of an H-1B petition if it determines that the fee associated
with the registration is declined, not reconciled, disputed, or otherwise invalid a er submission. The
registration fee is non-refundable and due at the time the registration is submitted.
Before you start your registration
Eligibility
A U.S. employer or agent may file H-1B cap petitions, and as such, will be required to
submit an H-1B registration to be eligible to file the H-1B cap petition.
U.S. Employers: Person or entity in the United States that:
• Engages a person to work in the United States;
• Has an employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary; and
• Has an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax identification number.
Agents: A U.S. individual or company in business as an agent may file an H-1B registration
for workers who are traditionally self-employed or workers who use agents to arrange
short-term employment on their behalf with numerous employers, and in cases where a
foreign employer authorizes the agent to act on its behalf.
Duplicates
A registrant (prospective petitioner) may only submit one registration per beneficiary in
any fiscal year. If a registrant, or their authorized attorney or representative, submits
more than one registration per beneficiary in the same fiscal year, all registrations filed by
that registrant, or on their behalf by their authorized attorney or representative, related
to the beneficiary for the fiscal year will be considered invalid, and USCIS may deny or
revoke the approval of any petition filed for the beneficiary based on those registrations.
Fee
Fee: $10 per registration
We will send you to Pay.gov, our safe, secure payment website, to make your payment
and submit your registration(s) online.
Important Payment Requirements:
When paying with check please be sure to enter the bank routing number and bank
account number accurately. While the status of the registration(s) in the system will
indicate “submittedʼ following completion of the Pay.gov payment process, your H-1B
registration(s) will be invalidated if the payment does not clear.
If payment is completed with a credit card or debit card the status of the registration(s) in
the system will indicate “submittedʼ following completion of the Pay.gov payment
process. However, your H-1B registration(s) will be invalidated if the payment does not
clear or the payment is later declined or disputed.
Money orders, certified bank checks, and non-reloadable debit cards cannot be used as a
form of payment in the Pay.gov system.
If you use a business checking account to make your payment please ensure that your
institution does not restrict or block ACH Payments for this service. If your business
checking account is restricted your payment will be declined and your registration(s) will
be invalidated.
USCIS Refund Policy
USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your submission,
application, petition, or request, or how long USCIS takes to reach a decision.
By continuing this transaction, you acknowledge that you must submit fees in the exact
amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service.

Review and Submit
To check your registration(s) for duplicates, you must provide your
Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the “About Registrant” page and
add at least one beneficiary on the “About Beneficiary” page. Then, select
the “Check for duplicates” button to perform the check. A duplicate will be
found if you or another person already submitted a registration for the
beneficiary on behalf of your organization for the same fiscal year.
Once the check is complete, you can review the list of beneficiaries who
have duplicates on the previous page. We recommend staying on this page
until the check is complete. If you add beneficiaries a er performing this
check, you can perform the check again.
Note: Using this check does not guarantee that duplicates will not be
identified by USCIS at a later date. This check will compare the
beneficiaries listed in this dra with any registrations previously submitted
during this registration period. It will not check for duplicates within this
dra or between dra s. You can review the list of beneficiaries you included
on the previous page (or on the spreadsheet on your account homepage) to
make sure you have not entered a beneficiary more than once. Even if
utilizing this check, the burden is still on the registrant to ensure that no
duplicate registrations are submitted.
