USCIS Launches Online Immigration System - ELIS

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will launch the initial release of its new electronic immigration system, USCIS ELIS.

USCIS ELIS is the agency’s first-ever online immigration system created to modernize the process for both filing and adjudicating immigration benefits. The first release, which is available for certain students and visitors, lays the foundation for the Web-based future of USCIS and our immigration system.

Beginning with the first release, USCIS ELIS provides improved customer service, shorter processing times, and enhanced adjudication tools to combat fraud and safeguard national security. Future releases will add form types and functions to the system, gradually expanding to cover all USCIS immigration benefits. Releasing the system in multiple phases will give USCIS the ability to continually enhance the user experience for both customers and our employees. It will also allow the agency to smooth the transition to electronic filing over time and retain a paper filing option for customers.

Cases will be considered accepted on the date that USCIS receives a properly filed petition for which the correct fee has been submitted; not the date that the petition is postmarked. The cap (the numerical limitation on H-1B petitions) for FY 2014 is 65,000. In addition, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals with U.S. master’s degree or higher are exempt from the fiscal year cap of 65,000. Based on feedback from a number of stakeholders, USCIS anticipates that it may receive more petitions than the H-1B cap between April 1, 2013 and April 5, 2013 .  USCIS will monitor the number of petitions received and notify the public of the date on which the numerical limit of the H-1B cap has been met.
