US employers can enter workers in the annual H-1B lottery from March 4-19, US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Friday, the first time odds of selection will be weighted based on wages and seniority.
USCIS finalized regulations in December that will give workers greater chances of selection for 85,000 H-1B slots according to which of four wage levels they’re assigned to. The Trump administration has said the rule will prioritize the most high skilled and highly paid foreign workers.
