Text
A U.S. employer or agent (prospective petitioner) who seeks to obtain H-1B nonimmigrant classification on behalf of an individual
subject to the H-1B numerical allocations will need to submit a registration during a designated registration period, unless the
registration requirement is suspended by USCIS. A petitioner may only submit one registration per beneficiary in any fiscal year.
Each registration must identify, among other things, the beneficiary's name and valid passport or travel document information
(including passport or travel document number, country of issuance, and expiration date). Each beneficiary may be registered
under only one passport or travel document.

On the registration, the registrant must select the highest Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) wage level that
the beneficiary’s proffered wage equals or exceeds for the relevant Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code in the area(s)
of intended employment. If the beneficiary’s proffered wage is lower than OEWS wage level I, because it is based on a prevailing
wage from another legitimate source (other than OEWS) or an independent authoritative source, the registrant must select “wage
level I.” If the beneficiary will work in multiple locations, or in multiple positions if the registrant is an agent, the registrant must
select the lowest corresponding OEWS wage level that the beneficiary’s proffered wage will equal or exceed. If the beneficiary’s
proffered wage is expressed as a range, you must select the OEWS wage level that the lowest wage in the range will equal or
exceed. Where there is no current OEWS prevailing wage information for the beneficiary’s proffered position the registrant must
select the OEWS wage level that corresponds to the requirements of the beneficiary’s proffered position using the Department of
Labor’s prevailing wage guidance. The registrant must also provide the SOC code of the proffered position, the area of intended
employment that served as the basis of the wage level selected on the registration, and all other information as instructed on this
form.
Prospective petitioners, or their attorneys or accredited representatives, may submit up to 250 registrations per submission.

The annual initial registration period will last a minimum of 14 calendar days and will start at least 14 calendar days before the
earliest date on which H-1B cap-subject petitions may be filed for a particular fiscal year.

If a sufficient number of registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to reach the H-1B regular cap have not been
received within the initial registration period, USCIS will notify all registrants who have properly registered that their registrations
for unique beneficiaries have been selected. USCIS will keep registration open past the initial registration period until USCIS has
determined that it has received enough registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to meet the H-1B regular cap.

If a sufficient number of registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to reach the H-1B regular cap have not been received within

registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to meet the H-1B regular cap.

After the end of the initial registration period, if USCIS has received more registrations for unique beneficiaries than needed to meet the
projected number of registrations to reach the regular cap, we will assign each unique beneficiary to the lowest OEWS wage level among all
registrations submitted on the beneficiary’s behalf and will enter each unique beneficiary into the selection pool in a weighted manner as
follows: a beneficiary assigned wage level IV will be entered into the selection pool four times, a beneficiary assigned wage level III will be
entered into the selection pool three times, a beneficiary assigned wage level II will be entered into the selection pool two times, and a
beneficiary assigned wage level I will be entered into the selection pool one time. A similar process will apply for those who may be eligible for
the advanced degree exemption. Once USCIS selects a registration for a unique beneficiary, all registrations for that beneficiary will be selected
USCIS may deny or revoke the approval of an H-1B petition if it determines that the fee associated with the registration is declined, and eligible to file a Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, to request classification of the beneficiary as an H-1B worker.

After the end of the initial registration period, if USCIS has received more registrations for unique beneficiaries than needed to

Eligibility

USCIS may deny or revoke the approval of an H-1B petition if it determines that the fee associated with the registration is declined, not
reconciled, disputed, or otherwise invalid after submission. The registration fee is non-refundable and due at the time the registration is
submitted.

A U.S. employer or agent may file H-1B cap petitions, and as such, will be required to submit an H-1B registration to be eligible to
file the H-1B cap petition.
U.S. Employers: Person or entity in the United States that:
- Has a bona fide job offer for the beneficiary to work within the United States;
- Has a legal presence in the United States and is amenable to service of process in the United States; and
- Has an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax identification number.
Agents: A U.S. individual or company in business as an agent may file an H-1B registration for workers who are traditionally selfemployed or workers who use agents to arrange short-term employment on their behalf with numerous employers, and in cases
where a foreign employer authorizes the agent to act on its behalf.

Duplicates

A registrant (prospective petitioner) may only submit one registration per beneficiary in any fiscal year. If a registrant, or their
authorized attorney or representative, submits more than one registration per beneficiary in the same fiscal year, all registrations
filed by that registrant, or on their behalf by their authorized attorney or representative, related to the beneficiary for the fiscal
year will be considered invalid, and USCIS may deny or revoke the approval of any petition filed for the beneficiary based on those
registrations.

In rare instances, the passport or travel document may be past the
expiration date listed on the document (that is, facially expired) but may
have had its validity extended by decree or automatically by the national
government or issuing authority that issued the passport or travel
document. In these unusual circumstances, USCIS will consider those
documents to be valid since they were extended by decree or automatically.
Registrants should enter the expiration date of the passport or travel
document based on the extension, rather than the date which appears in
the passport itself. If an H-1B petition is filed based on such registration,
USCIS will review the copy of the facially expired document along with any
relevant information about the extension to ensure the information entered
at registration was accurate.

When applicable, USCIS will select unique beneficiaries in a weighted
manner based on the Occupational Employment and Wage Survey (OEWS)
wage level that the beneficiary’s proffered wage equals or exceeds for the
relevant Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code in their area(s) of
intended employment. The proffered wage is the wage that the employer
intends to pay the beneficiary. The SOC code and area(s) of intended
employment will be indicated on the LCA filed with the petition.

Wage information

As of the date of submission of this registration, what is the highest Occupational
Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) wage level that the beneficiary's proffered wage
equals or exceeds for the relevant Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code in the
area(s) of intended employment?

Wage Level IV
Wage Level III
Wage Level II
Wage Level I

If the beneficiary’s proffered wage is lower than OEWS wage level I, because
it is based on a prevailing wage from another legitimate source (other than
OEWS) or an independent authoritative source, you must select “wage level
I.”

Required

If the beneficiary will work in multiple locations, or in multiple positions if
you are filing the registration as an agent, you must select the lowest
corresponding OEWS wage level that the proffered wage will equal or
exceed.
If the proffered wage is expressed as a range, you must select the OEWS
wage level that the lowest wage in the range will equal or exceed.
If the relevant SOC code does not have current OEWS prevailing wage
information available, you must follow U.S. Department of Labor guidance
on prevailing wage determinations to determine which OEWS wage level to
select.

What is the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code for the beneficiary's
proffered position?

Text

The OEWS program uses the Office of Management and Budget’s Standard
Occupational Classification (SOC) system to classify jobs into occupations
based on their job duties.

What is the area of intended employment for the beneficiary's proffered position?

Text

The area of intended employment is the area within normal commuting
distance of the place (address) of intended employment. If the beneficiary
will be employed in multiple locations, the registrant must indicate the area
of intended employment that served as the basis of the wage level selected
above.

A registrant (prospective petitioner), or their authorized attorney or representative, may only submit one registration per beneficiary in any fiscal
year. If a registrant, or their authorized attorney or representative, submits more than one registration per beneficiary in the same fiscal year, all
registrations submitted by that registrant, or on their behalf by their authorized attorney or representative, related to the beneficiary for the fiscal
year will be considered invalid, and USCIS may deny or revoke the approval of any petition filed for the beneficiary based on those registrations.
Before you submit your registration(s), you can check if the registrant named in this submission previously submitted a registration for any of the
beneficiaries included in this submission for the same fiscal year.
To check your registration(s) for duplicates, you must:
1. Provide your Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the "About Registrant" page and add at least one beneficiary on the "About Beneficiary"
page.
2. Select the “Check for duplicates” button to perform the check. A duplicate will be found if you or another person already submitted a registration
for the beneficiary on behalf of your organization for the same fiscal year.
3. Once the check is complete, review the list of beneficiaries who have duplicates on the previous page. We recommend staying on this page until
the check is complete. 
4. If you add beneficiaries after performing this check, you can perform the check again. 
Note: Using this check does not guarantee that duplicates will not be identified by USCIS at a later date. This check will compare the beneficiaries
listed in this draft with any registrations previously submitted during this registration period. It will not check for duplicates within this draft or
between drafts. You can review the list of beneficiaries you included on the previous page (or on the spreadsheet on your account homepage) to
make sure you have not entered a beneficiary more than once. Even if utilizing this check, the burden is still on the registrant to ensure that no
duplicate registrations are submitted.
