[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]H-1B season officially opened last week with the opening of the H-1B Electronic Registration Process.\u00a0 For 2021 (Fiscal Year 2022), the registration period is from March 9, noon EST to March 25, noon EDT.\u00a0 The electronic registration process, implemented by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) only last year<\/a>, acknowledges that in a typical year, the number of applications is larger than the total number of visas.\u00a0 In years past, every applicant had to submit the lengthy H-1B application and associated fees, prior to the lottery.\u00a0 If the applicant was not selected in the lottery, the time, effort, and money spent on the application essentially went to waste.\u00a0 Now, applicants only need to register electronically and pay a $10 fee.\u00a0 They only need to submit an official application and pay necessary fees If they are chosen in the lottery, significantly reducing time and paperwork for the applicants.<\/p>\n

When the system was implemented last year, the process seemed to work without too many complaints.\u00a0 The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) offered feedback<\/a> of the system late last year, along with recommendations on how to make the system work better.\u00a0 Most of the recommendations focused on difficulties users encountered during data entry and account creation.\u00a0 On March 5 of this year, USCIS issued guidance addressing some of the “common mistakes” made using the electronic registration service.\u00a0 According to USCIS, the top two user errors were creating the wrong type of account and entering the beneficiary more than once.\u00a0 The USCIS has an FAQ<\/a> for the electronic registration process.<\/p>\n

When electronic registration ends on March 25th, the lottery process will take place shortly thereafter.\u00a0 H-1B seekers who are chosen in the lottery should be notified of their selection by USCIS before the end of March.\u00a0 Petitions for H-1B visas can be filed as early as April 1st.<\/p>\n
