The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. The H-1B registration process is the first step in the process of sponsoring a foreign worker for an H-1B visa. For the fiscal year 2025, the H-1B registration period will open on March 1, 2024, and will close on March 17, 2024.
The H-1B registration process is highly competitive, and only a limited number of registrations are selected each year. In recent years, the number of H-1B registrations has exceeded the number of available visas, making it even more important for employers to submit their registrations early.
