Скачать или смотреть DHS Proposal to Replace Randomized H-1B Lottery with Weighted-Based Selection Criteria

Join us on Thursday, August 7th at 11 AM PST/2 PM EST for a session on the DHS’s proposed rule to replace the current H-1B lottery with a weighted-based selection system. Although not definitive since the proposed rule has not yet been made public, there is speculation that this new rule could prioritize H-1B cap registrations for occupations offering higher wages, potentially impacting future cap seasons starting in FY 2027.

Hosted by Partner and Attorney Min Kim and Client Services Manager Arianna Gonzalez, this session will explain what we know so far, how it compares to the 2021 proposal, and what employers should expect as the rule moves through the required notice and comment federal review process.
