US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that US employers can enter workers in the annual H-1B lottery from March 4 to March 19, 2024. This year marks the first time that the odds of selection will be weighted based on wages and seniority, potentially impacting the selection process significantly.
Key Details:
- Registration period: March 4, 2024, to March 19, 2024
- New selection criteria: Weighted based on wages and seniority
- Affects: All employers seeking to sponsor H-1B workers
