1. If I have a valid H-1B visa in my passport, provided my 10 print biometrics at my consular interview and haven’t moved to a new address since the filing of the H-1B visa as listed in my passport, am I registered or do I need to register? It would appear based on the information you have shared that you are in compliance with the Registry requirement and do not need to submit a G-325R form through the USCIS website. See https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration for more information.

1. What will happen if I do not register under the new 4/11/2025 Registration requirement? There are three (3) components to this registration requirement, and thus three (3) different penalties. (1) If you do not register and provide fingerprints, the penalty is a fine of up to $5,000, imprisonment up to 180 days, or both. (2) If you do not carry evidence of compliance (18 and over), the penalty is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $5,000, imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both. (3) If you do not notify DHS in writing of each change of address within 10 days of moving, the penalty is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $5,000, imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both. There are serious consequences involved for not complying with the registration requirement, as well as serious risks involved in complying with the registration requirement. YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH A QUALIFIED IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY AND/OR CRIMINAL ATTORNEY BEFORE SUBMITTING A REGISTRATION FORM ONLINE.
