Registration closes March 19.

Now the question everyone asks:

When will we know... and what happens next?

Here is what employers and foreign nationals should expect between now and October 1 (and beyond).

What Happens Between Registration and Selection?

Once registration closes:

• USCIS reviews all registrations
• Duplicate checks are conducted
•  The selection process is run

Selections are typically announced by March 31.

No action is required during this period. Silence is normal.

How Selection Notices Are Communicated?

Selections are posted to the employer's myUSCIS account.

Foreign nationals do not receive direct notification.
