USCIS has announced a significant change to the H-1B visa selection process, moving away from a pure lottery system starting in fiscal year 2027. Registrations for the new process will open on March 4, 2026, and will prioritize higher-skilled and higher-paid candidates over random selections.
Key Details:
- New selection process begins: FY 2027
- Registration opens: March 4, 2026
- Selection method: Wage-weighted, prioritizing higher salaries
- Aimed at enhancing the quality of H-1B applicants
This shift is expected to impact the landscape of H-1B visa applications, favoring those with higher qualifications and compensation.
