Modification of Registration Requirement for Petitioners Seeking To File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to modify its regulations for selecting H-1B registrations for filing cap-subject petitions, prioritizing registrations based on the highest prevailing wage level that matches the proffered wage for specific job roles and areas of employment. This change aims to implement the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) while ensuring a fair and efficient process for H-1B petitions.
