Members of the AILA USCIS Operations and USCIS Benefits Policy committees will provide a detailed overview of the H-1B cap-subject Weighted Lottery Rule, highlighting its complexities. Given the significant changes implemented by the Trump Administration to the H-1B process—resulting in reduced access to H-1B classification—legal professionals and employers are navigating numerous policy shifts that have introduced new challenges at various stages of petition processing.
