The Positives

Documentation for the H1B visa application is exhaustive. Employers who place employees on an H1B visa at client sites face a lot of extra paperwork when filing this petition. Having to pre-register online will help the sponsoring companies save on a lot of administrative costs. This change has been approved by the US Office of Management and Budget.

The Negatives
