USCIS has outlined the essential steps for employers seeking to sponsor H-1B visa candidates in the upcoming application cycle. This process includes registration, documentation preparation, and associated fees, with the registration results expected by the end of March.
Key Details:
- Registration fee: $215 per candidate, with results released by the end of March.
- If selected, employers must prepare a full petition, including supporting documents and filing fees ranging from $2,000 to over $10,000, depending on company size.
- A proposed $100,000 fee for certain H-1B candidates outside the U.S. is currently under litigation.
- The earliest employment start date for approved candidates is October 1.
Understanding these steps is crucial for employers, especially first-time sponsors, to ensure readiness when the registration window opens.
