Key Details:
- H-1B selection rates: Level III and IV positions at 68% and 64%, while entry-level positions have a 40% selection rate.
- The new wage-weighted lottery system is reshaping H-1B outcomes significantly.
- Retrogression announced for India EB-1 and EB-2 categories, with modest forward movement for India EB-3 and China EB-3.
- USCIS clarified that adjustment of status is a discretionary benefit, leading to increased scrutiny and longer processing times.
