A federal US agency has announced it has completed the process to implement the H-1B electronic registration process for the 2021 cap season.

Companies applying for H-1B visas for foreign workers in fiscal year 2021 will have to register online and pay a processing fee of $10 as a result.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services will start accepting the H-1B petitions from April 1, 2020 for the next fiscal year. "The electronic registration process will dramatically streamline processing by reducing paperwork and data exchange, and will provide an overall cost savings to petitioning employers," the USCIS said Friday.
