USCIS announced last week that the initial registration period for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 H-1B cap will open at noon Eastern on March 9 and run through noon Eastern on March 25. During this period, prospective petitioners and representatives will be able to fill out petitioner and beneficiary information and submit their registrations. If the agency receives enough petitions by March 25, it will randomly select registrations and send selection notifications by March 31. This notice comes just as USCIS announced it is delaying the effective date of the H01B wage rule, therefore using random selection to determine recipients.
