- Alert on H-1B Portability:H-1B petitions are portable, allowing beneficiaries to transfer between employers. If you’re changing jobs or have been terminated, it’s crucial to understand when you can begin new H-1B employment. For more detailed information, refer to my Patreon page.
- Alert on FY 2026 H-1B Cap Registration:The registration period for the FY 2026 H-1B cap will open on March 7, 2025, and close on March 24, 2025. Employers must register each beneficiary electronically via the USCIS online system and pay the required registration fee. The USCIS will then randomly select candidates for the cap, and more details will follow in the coming weeks. This is a crucial step for employers seeking to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations under the current H-1B program.
