2021 H1B Lottery Registration Will Begin on March 9, 2021
USCIS announced that the initial registration period for FY 2022 H1B lottery will open at noon Eastern Time (ET) on March 9 and run through noon ET on March 25.
Prospective H1B employer may use the H-1B registration account from last year or create a new account, starting March 2, 2021 at noon ET.
USCIS intends to notify the selected registrants by March 31. If you're selected in the H1B lottery, USCIS will provide additional instruction for submitting the H1B petition.
What does this means?
To qualify for the annual H1B lottery, the employer MUST register for the H1B lottery (including paying the $10 registration fee) between March 9, 2021 and March 25, 2021. After the H1B registration closes, it is highly unlikely that you can qualify for the H1B lottery again this year (and you will have to wait until 2022 to apply under H1B cap petition).
