The H-1B visa registration process for FY 2024 has not been announced yet. The immigration lawyers of Zneimer & Zneimer PC are preparing for the registration period to ensure that our clients can successfully register their H-1B visa beneficiaries. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) typically opens the registration process for H-1B visas in the beginning of the year. The exact dates and details of the registration process are typically announced several weeks in advance by the USCIS. It is important to stay informed about the H-1B registration process and be prepared to submit your application as soon as the registration period opens. We expect that USCIS will announce the registration process within the next couple of months. Please complete and send us this H-1B Registration Form if you would like our help.
Employers who wish to sponsor an employee for an H-1B visa must create an H-1B registrant account on the USCIS website. This account allows employers to submit registrations for their employees during the H-1B registration period.
It is important for employers to stay informed about the H-1B registration process and ensure that they are following all requirements set by the USCIS. Following the USCIS’s announcements helps to ensure that the registration process runs smoothly and reduces the risk of errors or complications that could delay or prevent an employee from obtaining an H-1B visa. To ensure compliance, employers should:
- stay up-to-date with the latest information and changes to the H-1B registration process and requirements as announced by the USCIS.
- review and understand the guidelines set by the USCIS for the H-1B registration process.
- gather all required documents and information for the employee and the employer before the registration period opens.
- double check all the information and documents for accuracy before submitting the registration.
- consult with a qualified immigration attorney or a registered agent if in doubt.
By following these steps, employers can help ensure that their H-1B registration is complete and accurate, which will increase the chances of their employees being selected for the H-1B program.
The registrant account will require the employer to provide basic information about their company, including Employer Identification Number (EIN), company name, and contact information. Once the account is created, the employer can use it to register their employees for the H-1B visa program. It is important to note that creating an H-1B registrant account does not guarantee that an employee will be selected for the H-1B program. The number of H-1B visas available is limited and selected through a lottery system.
