"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing a regulatory rule to change the process by which cap-subject H-1B status applicants are selected by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for eligibility to file H-1B petitions in its annual lottery. This substantive change is part of the department's ongoing efforts to overhaul the H-1B system, including a $100,000 application fee."
"The proposal introduces a weighted lottery selection system whereby H-1B beneficiaries offered the highest wages are given the highest likelihood of being chosen in the lottery and afforded the opportunity to petition for H-1B work status. This system is a marked departure from the current system, in which there is generally no special preference given to H-1B lottery entrants. Background The H-1B visa status classification is the most common visa type used by U.S. employers to hire and employ foreign nationals for temporary employment."

Congress set an annual quota at 65,000 plus 20,000 slots for U.S. master's degree holders, and cap levels have not been updated for many years.
