Original Date Announced
July 21, 2025DHS submitted a proposed rule titled "Weighted Selection Process for Registrants and Petitioners Seeking To File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions" to the Office of Management and Budget. This new rule appears to follow from a rule from the first Trump administration that sought to replace the random H-1B visa lottery with a wage-level-based selection process. It is unclear whether the new rule will seek to similarly reform the H-1B visa lottery based on wage-level. The new rule's title suggests that it could give certain applicants, such as higher earners, a greater probability of being selected.
