On behalf of the undersigned organizations representing a broad cross-section of U.S. employers, immigration practitioners, higher education institutions, and the general employment-based immigration community who have concerns about the H-1B registration process, we are writing with two requests:

1. USCIS to confirm by September 15, 2019 whether it intends to mandate use of the electronic registration system for the FY2021 H-1B cap filing season that begins on April 1, 2020.
2. USCIS to solicit additional participation and feedback from a wide range of interested stakeholders before the electronic registration system is operationalized.
