On September 3, 2019 the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a proposed rule that would require Petitioners to pay a $10 electronic registration fee to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for each H-1B Cap-Subject Petition registered during the designated period.
Please Note: USCIS suspended the electronic registration requirement for FY 2020 H-1B Cap season.
The proposed rule will officially be published in the Federal Register on September 4, 2019. It will begin a 30-day public comment period and DHS will issue a finalized rule after carefully reviewing the public comments.
As always, we will continue to monitor this proposed change.
