USCIS has announced significant changes to the H-1B lottery process for Fiscal Year 2027. Starting this year, each worker will be entered into the lottery only once, regardless of how many employers register them. This new policy aims to streamline the selection process and may include wage and skill-based selection criteria if registrations exceed the cap.
Key Details:
- Each worker entered only once in the H-1B lottery for FY 2027.
- Employers can register multiple candidates, but each candidate will only have one entry.
- If registrations surpass the cap, wage and skill-based selection may be implemented.
- Employers are encouraged to plan ahead to strengthen their H-1B cases.
This change will impact employers and potential H-1B visa applicants, necessitating strategic planning for the upcoming lottery. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
