The Department of Homeland Security has published a final rule to withdraw Donald Trump’s era proposal to change the process of granting H-1B visas from the current lottery system to a wage level ranking. This decision comes after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs and vacated the regulations.
The H-1B temporary foreign worker program is highly popular in IT companies and H-1B cap lottery is expected to remain in place for the foreseeable future.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions relating to the H1B Final Rule, travel restrictions, or if you need help sponsoring workers for H1B visas for the fiscal year 2023.
