The rule will be published December 22, 2021 and once published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will officially withdraw the “Modification of Registration Requirement for Petitioners Seeking to File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions,” final rule issued on January 8, 2021.
This means next year’s H-1B CAP selection process will be the normal random lottery and NOT based on the wage levels of the position. Petitioners can take this holiday season gift from DHS and begin their preparations for next year’s registration with a clearer picture.
