H-1B Lottery 2027: Selection Outcomes and Next Steps

In this podcast, shareholders Meagan Dziura (Raleigh) and Kara Lancaster (Raleigh) discuss the results of this year’s H-1B lottery. Kara and Meagan highlight a major change: the introduction of a wage-weighted selection system, which gives higher-paid workers better odds of being selected. They also provide tips for employers on what actions to take now, from filing petitions for selected employees to developing contingency plans—such as considering alternative visa options—for those who weren’t chosen.
