H-1B: Lottery-based visa selection to stay this year, wage-based system delayed

A plan to replace the H-1B visa selection lottery with a wage-based allocation system has been delayed, the administration of President Joe Biden announced Thursday.

The visas, intended for jobs requiring specialized skills and heavily used by the Silicon Valley technology industry, will continue to be allocated through a lottery system this year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.

Delaying the change until the end of this year is intended to give the federal government “more time to develop, test, and implement the modifications to the H-1B registration system and selection process,” the agency said in a brief news release.
