El Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de EE. UU. (USCIS) anunció recientemente una mejora significativa en su experiencia de usuario con el próximo lanzamiento de cuentas organizacionales para la temporada de límites máximos H-1B. Estas medidas, que debutarán en febrero de 2024, tienen como objetivo impulsar la eficiencia y fomentar la colaboración entre organizaciones, representantes legales y USCIS.
Una de las características clave de esta mejora es la introducción de cuentas organizativas
para presentaciones sin límite máximo y la temporada de límite máximo H-1B para el año fiscal (FY) 2025. Esta innovación permite que varias personas dentro de una organización y sus representantes legales colaboren sin problemas en los registros H-1B, el Formulario I-129 (petición para un trabajador no inmigrante) y el Formulario I-907 asociado (solicitud de servicio de procesamiento premium). La introducción de cuentas organizativas marca una transición hacia un ciclo de vida H-1B totalmente electrónico, que cubre el registro, la preparación de peticiones, la toma de decisiones y la transmisión al Departamento de Estado.
USCIS espera lanzar cuentas organizacionales en febrero de 2024, y poco después la presentación en línea de los Formularios I-129 e I-907. Se anticipa que este cambio a la presentación electrónica agilizará el proceso de petición H-1B, reduciendo errores comunes y eliminando registros duplicados de H-1B.
Además, como parte de los esfuerzos más amplios de USCIS para mejorar la eficiencia y estandarizar los procesos, la ubicación de presentación en papel de los Formularios I-129 e I-907 pasará de los centros de servicio a la caja de seguridad de USCIS. Esta medida tiene como objetivo reducir costos y al mismo tiempo mantener un enfoque más ágil y estandarizado para manejar las peticiones H-1B.
Con estas mejoras en la experiencia del cliente, USCIS está dando un paso significativo hacia la modernización y racionalización del proceso de petición H-1B. A medida que nos acercamos al período de registro H-1B para el año fiscal 2025, Santos Lloyd Law Firm está monitoreando de cerca la evolución del panorama de los cambios H-1B y participando activamente en las próximas sesiones para maximizar los beneficios de estas mejoras.

It’s no secret that the U.S. immigration system has faced increased scrutiny and change in recent months. From evolving policies to headlines filled with uncertainty, it’s understandable that many individuals are left wondering: Is this still the right time to pursue a future in the United States? The answer is yes—and here’s why. Despite the shifting political landscape, the core structure of U.S. immigration law remains firmly in place. While the process may appear more complex or demanding than it once was, the legal pathways to live, work, and thrive in the United States are still open and accessible to those who take the proper steps. What often gets lost in the conversation is that the United States remains a country built on innovation, creativity, and resilience. It continues to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals from all walks of life. Whether you are launching a business, advancing your career, or seeking a better life for your family, the United States offers unparalleled opportunities to those who are prepared and determined. Much of what makes the United States a global economic and technological leader today is the direct result of contributions made by immigrants. Nearly half of the current Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Immigrant entrepreneurs have long been an essential part of America’s economic success story. Some of the largest and most recognizable American companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. This includes household names such as Apple and Costco. Moderna, the pharmaceutical company and vaccine producer, was founded by a Canadian-born stem cell biologist, Derrick J. Rossi, whose parents themselves emigrated from Malta. These success stories are not outliers; they are part of a broader pattern that reflects the drive, innovation, and resilience that immigrants bring to the country. The United States also offers one of the most dynamic and diverse economies in the world. It is a place where hard work, fresh ideas, and entrepreneurial vision are rewarded. For creative professionals, business leaders, and investors, the United States provides a unique platform to grow, connect, and gain global influence. Its competitive marketplace, access to capital, and culture of innovation create unmatched opportunities for those ready to seize them. While the immigration process requires careful planning, that process is far from impossible. Indeed, having strong legal guidance is one of the most effective advantages an applicant can possess. Immigration law is complex, and each case must be evaluated individually. A clear, strategic plan tailored to your background and goals can significantly improve your chances of success. What may feel like a hurdle at first glance is often navigable with solid preparation and documentation. At our immigration law firm, we have had the privilege of assisting individuals from all over the world as they navigate these complexities. Time and again, we have witnessed how determination, careful preparation, and experienced legal counsel can turn uncertainty into opportunity and help transform a vision for the future into reality. If you have been uncertain about whether to move forward, let this be your sign to take the next step. The United States is still a land of possibilities. If you are ready to take that step, now is the time to act. Let us build your path forward together.
