According to a finalized rule from U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), petitioning employers will need to
pay a $10 non-refundable fee for each
H-1B electronic registration. This final rule is effective on Dec.
9, 2019.
Employers will pay the fee once USCIS finalizes the electronic
system, which USCIS intends to implement for the upcoming Fiscal
Year 2021 H-1B cap season.
According to USCIS, petitioners seeking to file H-1B visa
petitions will need to electronically register during a designated
registration period. Employers will pay the $10 fee when
registrations are submitted.
USCIS is currently still testing the system and has not made a
final announcement regarding electronic registration.
