The FY 2027 H-1B cap season is underway, with electronic registrations open from March 4 to March 19. USCIS will continue using the beneficiary centric selection system, meaning each worker can only be entered once. This year also introduces a wage weighted system that gives higher paid roles more entries based on prevailing wage levels. Employers selected in the lottery will have a 90 day window starting April 1 to submit full petitions.
