Among the changes proposed include new language to notify petitioners that withdrawing an associated Form G-28 from an H-1B electronic registration does not delete a submitted registration from the system, and that if a registrant and their representative each separately submit a registration for the same beneficiary, even by mistake, USCIS will invalidate the registrations. USCIS is also including new language that the authorized signatory must certify that each registration represents a legitimate job offer. [ID #1123]
