FY 2023 H-1B Cap Registration Begins Tuesday, March 1

Employers and their immigration counsel may register foreign nationals for the FY 2023 H-1B cap lottery between Tuesday, March 1 at noon ET and Friday, March 18 at noon ET. USCIS is expected to receive a very large number of online registrations during this period. Technical slowdowns are possible as a result. Before an H-1B cap registration can be submitted by immigration counsel, employers must promptly review, approve and e-sign the registration.

The issue

USCIS will begin to accept H-1B cap registrations for employment in FY 2023 on Tuesday, March 1, at 12:00pm ET. Employers and their immigration counsel will have until Friday, March 18, at 12:00pm ET to draft, review, e-sign and submit their registrations to the agency.
