U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will soon propose a regulation to replace the annual H-1B lottery with a new selection process based on wage level.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: The Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor issued significant H-1B regulations earlier this month that are now subject to litigation. Several factors, including expected litigation and the upcoming election, will dictate the likelihood that the regulation is in place prior to next year’s H-1B registration process. BAL is continuing to review the proposal and will provide additional analysis and updates.
