USA Major Update After Official’s H 1B Registration Move!(Applicants Celebrate)

Описание: 🚨 USCIS just confirmed the FY 2027 H-1B registration window opens March 4, 2026 — and if you miss this 17-day window, you're locked out for another year. Employers are already preparing. Are you?
This is the official announcement thousands of H-1B applicants have been refreshing their screens for. The registration period runs March 4 through March 20, 2026, and every detail matters.
Why This Update Is Critical Right Now (March 2026):
USCIS has finalized the FY 2027 H-1B cap registration timeline earlier than previous cycles, giving employers and applicants more time to prepare. But with an estimated 500,000+ registrations competing for just 85,000 slots (65,000 regular cap + 20,000 advanced degree exemption), the lottery odds remain around 17%. That means preparation, documentation accuracy, and employer credibility are more important than ever.
The beneficiary-centric selection system implemented in recent years means if multiple employers register you, you only get ONE lottery entry — not multiple chances. This changes everything about strategy. You need the right employer, the right wage level, the right position classification, and flawless data entry. One mistake in the registration can cost you the entire year.
USCIS is also scrutinizing H-1B petitions more heavily post-selection, with increased RFE rates for wage level justifications, specialty occupation qualifications, and employer-employee relationship evidence. Getting selected in the lottery is just step one — your petition still needs to survive USCIS review, and approval rates vary dramatically based on how well your case is prepared.

📌 What You Will Learn in This Video:
✅ The exact March 4-20 registration timeline and why submitting early (but not first) is the smart strategy
✅ How the beneficiary-centric lottery works and why multiple employer registrations no longer help you
✅ The advanced degree exemption advantage — and why U.S. master's holders get TWO lottery chances
✅ The wage level trap that's causing post-selection denials — and which level protects you best
✅ What happens after lottery selection: the 90-day petition filing deadline most people don't prepare for

🎯 Who Needs to Watch This Immediately:

F-1 students on OPT or STEM OPT whose work authorization expires in 2026
Current H-1B holders whose 6-year limit is approaching and need to transition or extend
International professionals being recruited by U.S. employers
Employers and HR teams preparing cap-subject H-1B registrations
Anyone who was not selected in previous lottery cycles and is trying again
