USCIS will allow the resubmission of certain FY 2021 H-1B petitions rejected of closed due to start date.
June 24, 2021
USCIS announced it will accept resubmitted fiscal year (FY) 2021 H-1B cap-subject petitions that were rejected or administratively closed solely because the requested start date was after Oct. 1, 2020. Petitioners whose FY 2021 petition was rejected or administratively closed only because the petition was based on a registration that was submitted during the initial registration period, but requested a start date after Oct. 1, 2020, may re-submit that previously filed petition with all applicable fees, at the addresses listed on USCIS’ website. These kinds of petitions must be resubmitted before Oct. 1, 2021. If properly resubmitted, the agency will consider the petition to have been filed on the original receipt date.
