Executive Summary: A new federal rule has created a new electronic registration process for the annual H-1B lottery. The new electronic registration system will significantly change the sequence of the H-1B lottery. There will no longer be a rush to file full H-1B petitions the first week of April. Instead, prospective H-1B sponsors will now have to register candidates online, and will only file an H-1B petition for those registrations that are selected by USCIS in a lottery.
