The next recurring immigration date on the calendar

Counted from our archiveas of Oct 30, 2026

122

days until the h-1b electronic registration (approximate window)

What the data shows

  • The next recurring date ImmigrationClock tracks is the H-1B electronic registration, 122 days from Oct 30, 2026. The exact window is announced by the agency each year, so the date is approximate.
  • USCIS opens the H-1B cap registration window in early March for at least 14 calendar days (about two weeks). Miss it and you wait a full year for the next lottery.
  • ImmigrationClock keeps 6 recurring immigration dates on one page, each linked to the government source that sets it.

Caveats

  • The window is approximate until the agency announces it. No precise date is stated.
  • Nothing here is legal or tax advice.

Methodology & sources
Data signals are computed from the same committed snapshots the site renders. They are never typed in, never estimated, never written by a model. Only reported figures and exact counts of ImmigrationClock’s own archive qualify; nothing projected or modeled appears here. Direction and magnitude are stated, never causation. See all insights.
