USCIS Confirms New H-1B Registration Rules for FY 2027

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services says a new final rule is now in effect for the FY 2027 H-1B cap registration season, updating how employers and prospective petitioners participate in the process.

The agency states that the rule took effect on February 27, 2026, and that the registration period opened on March 4, 2026. USCIS also says it planned to send selection notifications by March 31, 2026.

For Turkish professionals hoping to build a career in the United States, the change is important because H-1B is one of the most common routes for specialty occupation workers. Employers, attorneys, and applicants will need to pay close attention to the filing steps and deadlines.

Anyone preparing for the next cap season should review the updated USCIS guidance early, confirm eligibility, and coordinate closely with a sponsoring employer before the filing window closes.
