The USCIS announced that the H-1b cap/lottery will be conducted via electronic registration in 2020 ! The initial registration period will be from March 1st through March 20th ! As announced earlier this month, the filing fee will only be $10.00 per registration. This is exciting news and will save a tremendous amount of time and money for US employers (and law firms). More details will be provided as they become available and we expect to do a free teleconference for our clients in mid January.

We applaud the USCIS on taking steps to modernize its processes and allow for electronic registration for the H-1b cap lottery. We will provide a summary of the proposed rule later this week after the rule is published and reviewed.
