Trump Administration Replaces H-1B Lottery With Salary-Based Selection
Key Takeaways
- H-1B registration for FY2027 ended March 19, 2026.
- USCIS will conduct the selection, with lottery notifications by March 31, 2026.
- Selected employers can file H-1B petitions from April 1 to June 30, 2026.
Policy Information Missing
I cannot create the requested summary about the Trump Administration replacing H-1B lottery with salary-based selection because the provided source article from The Times of India does not contain information about this specific policy change.
“As the H-1B registration period for this season came to an end on March 19, 2026, the second phase of the process begins”
The article discusses increased scrutiny on H-1B processes, USCIS requirements for specific knowledge and degrees, and the need for detailed job descriptions, but does not address the lottery-to-salary-based selection system that you're asking about.
To create a comprehensive summary with the required citations from multiple sources, I would need additional source articles that specifically cover the Trump Administration's policy change.
