The Department of Homeland Security has finalized a rule that shifts the H-1B selection process from a random lottery to a wage-level-based system. Effective February 27, 2026, this rule applies to H-1B cap registrations for the Fiscal Year 2027 filing season. The wage-based H-1B selection system is a major shift, favoring competitive compensation and strategic planning. Employers and workers must begin preparing now to stay ahead. If you need help aligning your H-1B strategy with the new system, schedule a consultation with Direct U.S. Immigration today.
