Abstract

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations governing the process by which U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) selects H–1B registrations for unique beneficiaries for filing of H–1B cap-subject petitions (or H–1B petitions for any year in which the registration requirement is suspended). DHS proposes to implement a weighted selection process that would generally favor the allocation of H–1B visas to higher skilled and higher paid aliens, while maintaining the opportunity for employers to secure H–1B workers at all wage levels, to better serve the Congressional intent for the H–1B program.
