On December 29, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
published a Weighted Selection Process for Registrants and
Petitioners Seeking to File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions in the
Federal Register. In this video, Allison
Ahern Fillo describes how these changes to U.S. Immigration
policy will favor the selection of higher-skilled and higher-paid
workers in the annual H-1B lottery and will be effective prior to
the 2026 H-1B lottery, the registration period for which is
expected to open in March 2026.
If you have questions regarding compliance with these recent
changes (and proposed changes) – or to discuss immigration
matters in general – please contact Allison.
