USCIS has officially opened the registration for the H-1B visa for the fiscal year 2027 today, implementing significant changes to the selection process. The new lottery system has been replaced with a wage-based selection method, and applicants will now face a $100,000 fee.
Key Details:
- Registration opens: Today, [insert date]
- New selection method: Wage-based instead of lottery
- Application fee: $100,000 for foreign workers
- Applies to: All H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY2027
These changes are expected to impact the dynamics of H-1B visa applications, particularly for lower-wage positions, as the new criteria may favor higher-paying job offers.
