Recent data from approximately 5,500 self-reported cases reveals that the overall selection rate for the FY2027 H-1B lottery stands at about 61%. This analysis, conducted by the creator of H1BPulse, highlights the selection rates across different wage levels and educational backgrounds.
Key Details:
- Overall selection rate: 61% (3,327 selected out of 5,488 reports)
- Selection rates by wage level: L1 - 64%, L2 - 58%, L3 - 61%, L4 - 58%
- Selection rates by education: Master’s - 60%, Bachelor’s - 62%, Other - 67%
- Law firm selection rates: Fragomen - 47%, BAL - 55%, Baker McKenzie - 66%, Ogletree Deakins - 50%
The data suggests that the wage-level gaming theory previously discussed does not significantly impact selection rates. However, the notably lower selection rate for Fragomen raises questions about potential sample bias or other factors affecting their clients. It is important to note that these findings are based on self-reported data and may not fully represent the entire applicant pool.
This information provides valuable insights for applicants and stakeholders in the H-1B visa process, as understanding selection trends can inform future applications. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
