Weighted Selection Process for Those Seeking to File H-1B Petitions [pdf]

Summary from ChatGPT:

- DHS proposes replacing the random H-1B lottery with a weighted system based on wage levels (higher wage = higher chance).

- Weighting scheme: Wage Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4.

- Goal: favor higher-skilled/higher-paid workers while still leaving a chance for lower wage levels.

- Differs from the 2020 rule (rank-order by wage); this uses probability weighting, not exclusion.
