H-1B After the First Weighted Lottery: What Changed and What’s Next
Join Reddy Neumann Brown PC for a complimentary webinar on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 1:00 PM CST, presented by Felipe Jimenez.
H-1B has just gone through its biggest overhaul in three decades, and the FY2027 cap was the first season to run under the new rules. This webinar is a fast, practical refresher on what’s changed and what’s coming next. We’ll break down the new wage-weighted selection process and who it favors, debrief what we saw in the first cap season under the new system, cover the latest on the shifting $100,000 fee, and look ahead to the proposed prevailing wage increase that could raise salary floors by more than 30%. Attendees will leave knowing exactly where things stand and how to plan their next filings.
Topics will include:
Wage-weighted selection: how the new lottery works and who it benefits
FY2027 cap debrief: what happened in the first season under the new rules
The $100,000 fee: where it stands amid ongoing litigation
DOL’s proposed prevailing wage increase and key comment deadlines
