Maggio Kattar

USCIS has announced that the FY 2025 H-1B Cap Initial Registration Selection process is complete. Registrants can review their organizational accounts via myUSCIS to view the status of each registered beneficiary.

According to USCIS, here are the possible statuses for each registered beneficiary and what they mean.

  • Submitted: The registration has been submitted and is eligible for selection. If the initial selection process has been completed, this registration remains eligible, unless subsequently invalidated, for selection in any subsequent selections for the fiscal year for which it was submitted.
  • Selected: Selected to file an H-1B cap petition.
  • Not Selected: Not eligible to file an H-1B cap petition based on this registration.
  • Denied – duplicate registration: Multiple registrations were submitted by or on behalf of the same registrant for the same beneficiary. If denied as a duplicate registration, all registrations submitted by or on behalf of the same registrant for this beneficiary for the fiscal year are invalid.
  • Invalidated – failed payment: A registration was submitted but the payment method was declined, not reconciled, or otherwise invalid.
  • Deleted: The submitted registration has been deleted and is no longer eligible for selection.
  • Processing submission: USCIS is processing your submission. It may take up to 72 hours for all of your case information to show on the case details page. While it is processing, you will be unable to access your draft.

FY 2025 H-1B Cap Petitions may be filed beginning April 1.

For unselected registered beneficiaries, employers should contact their Maggio Kattar attorney to determine if other options may be available.
