The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a minimal registration fee for petitioners seeking to file H-1B Cap-Subject Petitions. DHS announced on Tuesday, September 3rd, a proposed rule change that would require petitioners seeking to file H-1B cap-subject petitions to pay a $10 registration fee for each electronic registration they submit to USCIS.

Under the new electronic registration requirement, sponsoring employers seeking to file H-1B cap applications have first electronically register with the USCIS during a designated registration period. Only those pre-registries will be eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject application.

For complete details, please review the USCIS News Alert, “DHS Proposes Minimal Registration Fee for Petitioners Seeking to File H-1B Cap-Subject Petitions” for more details.

You can now check USCIS processing times online at the USCIS web site. All you need to enter is your form number, and the office processing your case. USCIS has made processing times easier to understand and provide a more realistic date range.

 

Check Case Processing Times

 

The processing time range is how long it is taking for USCIS to process your type of case from the date they received it. USCIS processes cases in the order they receive them, and they normally update this information monthly. The estimated time range displayed is based on data captured over the last two months.
