Washington: The initial registration period for the most sought-after H-1B visas for foreign guest workers for fiscal 2025 closed at 12 noon Eastern Time on March 22, a federal agency has said.
Prospective petitioners and legal representatives used an online account of US Citizenship and Immigration Services to register each beneficiary electronically for the selection process and pay the associated registration fee for each beneficiary, US Citizenship and Immigration Services said on Monday.
Online account users will also be able to collaborate on registrations and petitions with enhanced organizational account features in their online accounts, it said.
Form I-129, petition for a nonimmigrant worker, for H-1B petitions and Form I-907, request for premium processing service, are now accessible in USCIS online accounts, a media release said.
USCIS will begin accepting online filing of the forms for H-1B cap petitions on April 1. “We will announce when online filing of non-cap H-1B petitions is available,” USCIS said.
