Q: I am a graduate on F1 status and I want to register for H1B this March. What do I need to do?
Hello, I am a recent graduate on F1 status and I have applied for OPT (have not received EAD card yet) and I want to register for H1B this March. I know that my employer and I must register online on USCIS for the H1B Visa with the 10$ fee. Besides the registration part, is there anything else I need to do for now? Or I just need to wait until next year for H1B process?
A:
The prospective employer will have to register with USCIS as you have indicated in your posting. If the employer is selected by USCIS then the FORM I-129H must be filed by the employer with USCIS in APRIL 2021.
I highly recommend that the prospective employer engage an experienced immigration attorney to provide expert guidance with this matter.
Good luck to you.
