DHS Developing Weighted Selection Rule for H-1B Petitions

The DHS proposes replacing the H-1B random lottery with a weighted selection process focusing on unique beneficiaries, limiting multiple registrations, and enhancing fairness.

DHS proposes a weighted selection process replacing the H-1B random lottery starting July 18, 2025.

Each unique beneficiary counts once; multiple registrations for one worker no longer increase selection chances.
The rule aims to reduce fraud, prevent multiple filings by related employers, and improve fairness for smaller businesses.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has taken a major step toward changing how H-1B cap-subject petitions are selected. As of July 18, 2025, DHS, through U.S.

Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is moving forward with a proposed rule that would introduce a weighted selection process for H-1B cap-subject petitions.

This update is designed to make the H-1B lottery system more fair and secure, focusing on the individual worker (the beneficiary) rather than on the number of employers submitting registrations for the same person.​

Getting past the .gov speak:

The current lottery system offered $60k/yr Help Desk workers the same odds as $300k/yr cardiologists. The new system should award the highest paid applicants the visas.

That said I would rather more nurses get in than more software engineers, even though the nurses are paid less.

If we must allow H1Bs in at all they should not all go to one industry (ie, tech).

What the hell is wrong with you and the rest of MAGAts. Like H-B1, H-b2 is for unskilled or low skilled workers to be used in unskilled jobs that are very short handed for workers. Your ilk keeps coming up with every excuse to support holding the employers feet to the fire and sponsoring in those workers. And not one would make 60 bucks an hour. More like 7 and I won't get out of bed for a job that pays less than 16.

Well, I doubt if anyone cares about you.

LOL....$16.00 hr. .....I'd have to go back to the early 80s to make that little an hour.

Caste in Stone

Importing white-collar richkid foreigners is nothing but economic treason and a coverup of the fact that unpaid education doesn't motivate American talent.

Why should some "Peggy" take a 60K job an American kid could have?

I'd much rather have trained medical people immigrate here instead.

Of course we all know the tech industry will get the bulk of them.....You can thank Mike Lee for that shit....Fuckin' LDS loves them some H1Bs.

Mike Lee: Bill ending per-country cap for employment-based visas ends discrimination in legal immigration: Senator Mike Lee - The Economic Times

According to the bill, 70 per cent of the total employment-based visas could go to H-1B workers after the bill's enactment. That portion drops to 50 per cent after nine years. Currently there are 1.2 million applicants in line for green cards. It ends country of origin discrimination by...

"Our Way or the Highway" Means That Their Way Is the Low Way

The cause of the scarcity is in the way the spoiled and sheltered rulers restrict opportunity right here. Look to the way baseball rewards 18-year-old talent. The minor leagues is not for minors, but the Eweniversity is for teenagers who are afraid to grow up.

Showing how unnatural this institution is, in my generation students had to be threatened with death in Vietnam to force them to go to college.

So they're only going to pick Indians with the surname Patel? There's a story behind this, but it's pretty much all of them.
