Application Deadlines: What You Should Know

The H-1B visa application process follows the USCIS fiscal calendar and involves two crucial phases:

1. Registration Period (March)
Employers must register their intended H-1B candidates during the designated registration window, which usually opens in early March and remains open for about 2–3 weeks.

2. Petition Filing (April)
If the registration is selected in the H-1B lottery, employers may begin filing the complete H-1B petition starting in April. USCIS provides specific filing instructions and deadlines in the selection notification.

Since the H-1B visa is subject to an annual cap, early preparation and prompt filing are essential. Keep in mind that exact timelines may vary depending on individual circumstances and evolving USCIS guidelines.

Understand H-1B Visa Costs Clearly and Upfront

Securing an H-1B visa involves several expenses, including USCIS filing fees, attorney charges, and optional premium processing fees. The total cost may vary based on the number of applicants and any additional services required. At TECHARC, we provide a transparent and detailed fee breakdown with no hidden charges, helping you plan your immigration budget with confidence.

H-1B Approval Timeline and What Comes Next

After your H-1B petition is filed, the approval process typically takes two to six months under regular processing. At TECHARC, we keep you informed every step of the way and assist with any additional documentation or responses required by USCIS. For faster results, premium processing is available, delivering a decision within 15 calendar days.

H-1B Visa: Extension, Transfer & Renewal Made Simple

Seamless H-1B Extensions and Renewals
If your H-1B visa is nearing expiration, TECHARC is here to help you smoothly navigate the renewal or extension process. Regular processing typically takes 2 to 6 months, while premium processing can deliver results in just 15 days. Whether you’re continuing with your current role or transitioning to a new opportunity, we ensure your paperwork and timelines are handled with precision and speed.

Travel During Pending H-1B Extensions
