The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services has now set the precise March dates during which an employer can seek to be selected to file an H-1B “professional” petition in hope of employing a valued foreign recruit. The limited time period is from noon eastern time on March 1 until noon eastern time on March 18.
Getting organized to file the short registration form early in the process is wise as there are typically about 3 times the number of employers seeking to be selected as slots available for the fiscal year.
