Department of Homeland Security has finalized the alien registration rule, ensuring no new, additional requirements for H-1B visa holders

The Department of Homeland Security has finalized the Alien Registration Rule, clarifying that most H-1B visa holders and other authorized foreign nationals with unexpired Form I-94s are already considered properly registered with the U.S. government.

Under the final rule, these individuals do not need to submit new online registrations. The rule ensures no new, additional requirements for H-1B visa holders.

The regulation aims to streamline the registration process and reduce confusion among foreign nationals already in lawful status.
