Immigrant experts on how $100K fee and wage-based selection reshaped H-1B 2027 season
H-1B cap season 2027 has closed, with USCIS confirming that it has received sufficient registrations for unique beneficiaries to meet the fiscal year 2027 cap. The H-1B cap season 2027 has been different from the earlier ‘lottery’ selection rounds conducted by USCIS.
Firstly, a new wage-based selection process has been put to use for the H-1B cap season 2027. Secondly, every US employer must pay a $100,000 petition fee before hiring a foreign worker selected in the H-1B cap season 2027.
