The Trump administration plans to reform the H-1B visa lottery system, giving priority to high-wage, high-skill applicants.

BlockBeats News, September 23rd, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced in the Federal Register that the Trump administration plans to adjust the H-1B visa application process. It intends to introduce a weighted selection mechanism to prioritize applicants with higher skills and better salaries in the annual quota lottery.

The rule will be officially announced on September 24th. According to the announcement, this move will make H-1B applicants with higher wages more likely to be selected, thereby increasing employers' opportunities to bring in foreign talent for high-skilled positions. The announcement emphasizes that the H-1B visa has quantity restrictions and exemptions, but in a high-demand environment, the government has the right to improve efficiency through process enhancements.
