USCIS has released data from the just concluded FY 2025 H-1B Registration period. USCIS has selected 120,603 registrations for 114,017 Beneficiaries. So, there were duplicate registrations, but the number of duplicates were far less; indicating that the duplicates are likely valid and not coordinated.  USCIS received 1.06 registrations per Beneficiary this year, whereas last year it was 1.7 (or nearly 2 registrations for every Beneficiary). The total number of eligible registrations was 470,342 this year far less than the 758,994 last year. So, this data tells us that Beneficiary-Centric Registration is working and duplicate registrations are down significantly.
