Join John Quill, Bill Coffman, and Angel Feng of Mintz’s Immigration Practice for a timely discussion on the newly published H-1B registration rule introducing a weighted lottery based on skill and wage level. This significant regulatory change replaces the traditional random selection process by providing increased odds of selection to high-wage earners, and will directly impact employer strategy for the upcoming H-1B cap season. Our speakers will break down what the rule means in practice and how employers should prepare.
Key Discussion Topics Will Include:
- Overview of the new weighted H-1B registration and selection process.
- How wage levels and skill prioritization will affect selection outcomes.
- Implications for employer filing strategies and workforce planning.
- Key timelines, effective dates, and what to expect for the next cap season.
- Impact of recent and potential changes on international travel, visa extensions, and potential changes to F-1 and J-1 student status.
Register now to join us for this essential update and gain practical insights to help your organization navigate the new H-1B landscape with confidence.
