This filing period is highly anticipated by U.S. sponsoring companies as the H-1B visa is a primary vehicle used to hire foreign workers for employment in the United States. It is routinely used by the information technology (IT) industry and is sought after by many students graduating from U.S. universities. USCIS will accept H-1B pre-registration filings between noon eastern time on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, through Thursday, March 25, 2021, at noon eastern time. The pre-registration filing must be accompanied by a filing fee of $10.00. For each H-1B submission, petitioners, known as ‘registrants,’ will be able to add beneficiary applicants during the filing period.
