MyUSCIS accounts are used by sponsoring employers and the legal team at CIP to register beneficiaries for the H-1B Cap lottery and electronically file casework. This guide is intended for employers looking to create a new myUSCIS account or enhance their existing account.
💡Watch the video below provided by USCIS to learn more. We also have step-by-step instructions and an attached guide to help you through this process.
Introduction: 0.00 - 3:00
If you already have an Organizational Account or need to upgrade the account, jump to 3:00-5:30.
Create a myUSCIS Company Organizational Account
1. Go to https://my.uscis.gov/and click the Sign In drop down (top right corner). Then, click Create Account.
2. The USCIS will generate a Backup Code. Save this code.
3. Select 'I am part of an Organization or company, a sole proprietor, or an agent.' Then, click Submit.
Once the account is created, notify the legal team so they can ensure they are linked to your account.
Enhance a myUSCIS Company Organizational Account
1. Sign into your myUSCIS account. Then, click myUSCIS.
If you cannot recover your existing account, please go to the Account Recovery article.
2. Click Create a Company Group
💡One Company Group can support multiple entities with various FEINs. You do not need to create a separate Company Group for each individual entity/FEIN. To learn more, view this article on Adding multiple entities in myUSCIS.
3. Review the definitions of the Company Group Roles and then click Continue.
4. Enter the requested company information. Then, click Continue.
5. Create the Company Administrator profile. Then, click Create Company Group. The Administrator role must be someone authorized to sign documents on behalf of the company.
6. Review the USCIS reminder that you cannot merge company accounts and you cannot be the Administrator in more than one account. Then, click Yes, create company group.
It is recommended to add at least two Company Administrators to the account. Learn how to add additional Administrators in this article.
8. Invite your Legal Representative. Do not invite your Legal Representative until you have confirmed the correct email address as they may not be using their standard CIP PC email.

- Click Invite a Representative
- Enter Legal Representative information. Then, click Submit.
- The Legal Representative will have seven days to accept the invitation.
