On March 21, 2024, USCIS announced that the initial registration period for the 2025 fiscal year H-1B cap, which was originally to run from March 6, 2024 through March 22, 2024 12PM EDT, will now be extended to Monday, March 25, 2024 12pm EDT.
The extension of the registration period is in response to the temporary system outage experienced by registrants while utilizing the myUSCIS platform. The extension of the registration period will provide additional time to complete the H-1B cap registrations that were delayed due to widespread system outage issues.
USCIS will still perform its random selection between March 30, 2024 to March 31, 2024 and notify the selected registrants by contacting the attorneys and employers. For additional information click here.
