United States Citizenship and Immigration Services will open registration for the 2027 US H-1B visa cap with a new wage weighted selection model. Employers must register beneficiaries online, pay a $215 fee, and await selection results by March 31. Higher wage roles will receive greater selection weight, reducing odds for Wage Level I submissions. The statutory cap remains unchanged, while fees and employer behaviour may influence final outcomes under updated Department of Homeland Security rules.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/us-h-1b-visa-cap-2027-shifts-to-wage-weighted-selection-what-you-need-to-know-and-who-benefits-most/articleshow/127889354.cms
