The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has introduced a final rule for the FY 2025 H-1B cap, focusing on beneficiary-centric selection to ensure fairness. The rule, effective from October 2024, mandates registrants to provide valid passport information, reducing fraud risks. USCIS clarified requirements for employment start dates and gained the authority to deny or revoke petitions with false information. The FY 2025 H-1B cap registration opens on March 6, 2024, with USCIS launching organisational accounts on February 28, 2024. The reforms aim to enhance transparency, efficiency, and resistance to fraud in the H-1B program.
