Trump admin proposes to scrap computerised lottery system to select H-1B visas

The administration of United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday proposed to scrap the computerised lottery system to grant H-1B work visas, and replace it with a selection process that gives priority to the jobs with higher salaries.The government said this would better protect the economic interests of American workers, while still allowing US employers to “meet their personnel needs and remain globally competitive”.The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa that allows American companies to employ foreign workers in occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. It is highly sought-after by Indian IT professionals.The US Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday said that it has submitted a notification with the Federal Register that would prioritise the selection of H-1B registrations based on corresponding wage levels, if it receives more petitions than allowed under the annual limit. Stakeholders have 30 days to respond to the notification. If finalised, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services would grant visas or select petitions based the salary level of the individuals.
