Application Deadlines: What You Need to Know

The application for H-1B visa is dependent on the fiscal year calendar of USCIS. As a general rule, the process involves two key steps:

• Registration Period (March)

  Employers must register their prospective employees during the H-1B registration period, which typically opens in early March and lasts for about 2-3 weeks.

• Application Filing (April)

  If the registration is selected in the H-1B lottery, the employer can file the full H-1B petition starting in April. The exact filing deadline is usually specified in the notification USCIS sends to selected applicants.

The filing is done annually whereby the number of successful applications determines the allocation of the cap, and once selected, it is advisable to apply early. However, the specific date of filing for the H1B visa application process is contingent on the person’s circumstances and the guidelines of USCIS.
