FY 2025 H-1B Cap Registration Period Extended

USCIS has extended the fiscal year 2025 (FY 2025) H-1B cap registration period. The new deadline to submit cap registrations is Monday, March 25, 2024 at noon Eastern Daylight Time. The extension comes after employers and their legal representatives encountered numerous technical problems with the reconfigured USCIS electronic registration system, preventing the submission and payment of registrations.

Registration commenced March 6, 2024, and was supposed to close at Noon on March 22. Employers intending to file H-1B cap petitions  now have a few extra days to complete registrations.  Employers must still use  their USCIS online accounts to submit registrations by the March 25 deadline.  Despite the extended registration period, USCIS still expects to conduct the random selection process and notify selected registrants by March 31, 2024.

Gibney will provide relevant updates as announced.  General information about FY 2025 H-1B cap registration process is available  here.  For additional information, please contact you designated Gibney representative or email info@gibney.com.
