This streamlined process has reduced the amount of paper and data exchanged between USCIS and employers, said Joseph Edlow, USCIS Deputy Director. - Positive feedback received from users, a small number of technical problems that arose during the registration period, and the ability to immediately answer user questions were the result of integrated efforts for over a year. The new registration system is one of many ways USCIS is improving the H-1B visa program. ”
Each H-1B visa application must be submitted by the deadline specified in the corresponding notice of pre-registration of online pre-registration for this application. The deadline for submitting a full H-1B visa application is at least 90 days. Online submission of full H-1B visa applications is not available, therefore employers must send all in paper form.
