24 July 2025 Β· Europe Permit

  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ’Ό The U.S. plans to replace the random H-1B lottery with a salary-based selection system.

  • πŸ’° Applicants offering higher salaries will get priority in the visa selection process.

  • 🎯 The system aims to attract highly skilled workers and discourage misuse by outsourcing firms.

  • πŸ“Š DHS will group applications by wage level and select from the highest tiers first.

  • πŸŒ€ If demand exceeds supply within a wage level, a mini-lottery will apply.

  • ⏳ The proposed rule is under review and will go through public comments before implementation.

  • πŸ›‘ The 2025 H-1B cap season remains unchanged under the current lottery system.

  • πŸ“ˆ This change could raise the average H-1B salary significantly, affecting hiring strategies.

  • 🏒 Startups and small businesses may face more challenges under the new system.

  • πŸ” The move marks a major shift in U.S. immigration policy, favoring quality over chance.
