H-1B 进入“工资权重”时代：高薪岗位中签概率将被系统性放大2025年12月23日，美国国土安全部（DHS）与美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）在官网新闻稿中确认，H-1B名额选择机制将迎来重大调整：未来当注册人数超过年度上限时，传统“纯随机抽签”将被“加权选择（weighted selection）”取代。USCIS表示，过去的随机抽签曾被部分雇主滥用，通过大量低薪岗位注册“冲池”，导致低技能、低工资外籍劳工更容易中签，从而损害美国本土劳工的工资、工作条件与就业机会。新规旨在提高更高技能、更高薪酬申请人的获选概率，以更符合国会对H-1B项目的初衷，并强化美国竞争力。以下是AI综合各个官方文件的清晰解读，供参考
一、官方确认了什么？2025 年 12 月 23 日，USCIS 在官网发布新闻稿确认：美国国土安全部（DHS）将修订 H-1B 名额选择规则，用“加权选择（weighted selection）”替代传统的“随机抽签（random lottery）”，以更优先分配给“更高技能、更高薪酬”的申请人，目标是更好地保护美国本土劳工的工资、工作条件与就业机会。USCIS
与新闻稿配套的 Final Rule（最终规则） 已以 Public Inspection 形式发布，文件明确该规则将于 2026 年 2 月 27 日生效，并用于 FY 2027（2027 财年）H-1B cap 注册季。Federal Register Public Inspection+1
二、最关键变化：不是“取消抽签”，而是“抽签概率倾斜”这次改革的重点不在于取消抽签，而在于：当注册人数超过名额上限、必须进行选择时，USCIS 不再让所有注册“同等概率随机”，而是根据工资水平给予不同权重，使高工资岗位获得更高被选中的概率。USCIS 在官方说明中强调，该机制会“总体上更偏向（generally favor）更高技能、更高薪酬的申请人”，同时“仍保留所有工资等级参与的机会”。USCIS+1
三、加权依据是什么？与 DOL 的 OEWS 工资等级挂钩Final Rule 的核心逻辑，是把“工资”作为技能与岗位价值的可量化代理指标（政策语言为优先高技能、高薪酬）。你的中文稿中提到的“四级工资（Level I–IV）”框架，来自美国劳工部的职业工资统计体系（OEWS）对应的 prevailing wage 分层概念；在 USCIS 的 H-1B 注册流程官方页面中，也明确提到该 Final Rule 将实施“weighted selection”并以更高工资/技能为倾向。USCIS
（注：权重如何具体落在 Level I=1、Level II=2、Level III=3、Level IV=4 的执行细则，应以 Final Rule 的条文与 USCIS 后续系统实施说明为准。你现在持有的 2025-23853 PDF 正是用于核对这一点的“法律文本本体”。Federal Register Public Inspection+1）
四、哪些“不变”？这点对雇主和 HR 很重要从官方文件表述看，本次改革有几项关键“保持不变”的部分：
1）年度名额结构不变仍然维持 65,000 个常规名额 + 20,000 个美国高学历（advanced degree）名额。USCIS+1
2）仍然是注册阶段的选择机制调整官方表述将这次改革定位为“选择过程（selection process）”的修订。也就是说，它改变的是“谁更容易在注册阶段被选中”，并不等于“被选中就一定获批”。USCIS+1
3）实质审查与合规要求并未被取消Final Rule 与 USCIS 页面均指向：H-1B 后续仍要满足所有既有法规与合规要求（如职位专业性、薪资合规、LCA 等）。换句话说，加权机制只是改变“入场顺序”，不替代后续的合规与真实性审核。USCIS+1
五、潜在影响：谁受益、谁承压？基于规则设计本身（以工资分层作为权重），其影响方向相对清晰：
更可能受益的群体高薪资、资深或紧缺岗位（更容易落在更高工资分位/更高 Level），以及更有能力支付市场高位薪酬的大型雇主。这与官方“优先高技能、高薪酬”的政策目标一致。USCIS+1
更可能承压的群体初创公司、中小企业（预算约束更强），以及入门级岗位或薪资更接近 Level I/II 的候选人。虽然官方强调“各工资等级仍有机会”，但在概率权重机制下，实际中签率结构很可能出现倾斜。USCIS+1
六、对 HR / 雇主的现实建议：把 H-1B 从“运气”变成“可控变量”在加权抽签框架下，HR 和雇主在注册前的准备会更“策略化”：
1）岗位定级与薪资策略需要提前做同一岗位在不同地区、不同薪资定位可能对应不同工资分位/Level。提前对标市场薪酬并合理定薪，将直接影响进入抽签池的“权重”。（具体定级方法与合规口径建议与移民律师/合规顾问确认。）
2）招聘规划要前置到注册窗口之前过去很多公司把抽签视为随机事件；未来应把岗位级别、薪资结构与人才引进路径更早纳入年度 workforce planning。
3）合规底线不会降低，反而更容易被放大审视政策目标本身强调保护美国劳工与防止滥用，因此雇主在职位真实性、工作内容专业性、薪资合理性、LCA 流程等方面的合规管理更关键。USCIS+1
七、时间线：你需要核实的三个关键日期

DHS Changes Process for Awarding H-1B Work Visas to Better Protect American Workers
Release Date
12/23/2025
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security is amending regulations governing the H-1B work visa selection process to prioritize the allocation of visas to higher-skilled and higher-paid aliens to better protect the wages, working conditions, and job opportunities for American workers. The new rule replaces the random lottery for selecting visa recipients with a process that gives greater weight to those with higher skills.
“The existing random selection process of H-1B registrations was exploited and abused by U.S. employers who were primarily seeking to import foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay American workers,” said U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser. “The new weighted selection will better serve Congress’ intent for the H-1B program and strengthen America’s competitiveness by incentivizing American employers to petition for higher-paid, higher-skilled foreign workers. With these regulatory changes and others in the future, we will continue to update the H-1B program to help American businesses without allowing the abuse that was harming American workers.”
The number of H-1B visas issued annually is limited to 65,000, with an additional 20,000 for U.S. advanced degree holders. The current random selection process has often been criticized for allowing unscrupulous employers to exploit it by flooding the selection pool with lower-skilled foreign workers paid at low wages, to the detriment of the American workforce. To address these concerns, the final rule will implement a weighted selection process that will increase the probability that H-1B visas are allocated to higher-skilled and higher-paid aliens while maintaining the opportunity for employers to secure H-1B workers at all wage levels. This final rule is effective Feb. 27, 2026, and will be in place for the FY 2027 H-1B cap registration season.
The rule is another crucial step to strengthen the integrity of the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program. It is in line with other key changes the administration has made, such as the Presidential Proclamation that requires employers to pay an additional $100,000 per visa as a condition of eligibility.
“As part of the Trump Administration’s commitment to H-1B reform, we will continue to demand more from both employers and aliens so as not to undercut American workers and to put America first,” said Tragesser.

2026财年H-1B抽签结果出炉：你公司中签了吗？ FY 2026 H-1B Initial Registration Selection Process Completed
美国移民局（USCIS）于美西时间2025年3月31日正式宣布，2026财年H-1B签证初始注册流程已顺利完成，并已完成随机抽签程序。根据公告，本轮电子注册数量已达到年度名额上限，涵盖常规配额与硕士学位豁免（即“Master’s Cap”）。
USCIS表示，已向所有被选中的雇主账户发送通知。这些雇主可自2025年4月1日起，为其被选中的受益人提交正式的H-1B cap-subject 签证申请。提交期限将持续至少90天。值得注意的是，只有注册成功并在抽签中被选中的雇主，才具备提交正式申请的资格。
申请须提交以下关键材料：
被选中注册对应的通知书副本；
注册时用于识别申请人的有效护照或旅行证件复印件；
其他证明申请人符合H-1B签证资格的支持材料。
移民局特别强调，抽签中签仅代表有资格递交申请，并不等同于签证自动获批。雇主在提交正式申请时，仍需提供充分的支持性文件，以证明受益人满足所有H-1B审批条件。
H-1B签证作为美国雇主为引进外国专业技术人才而设立的工作签证机制，一直以来备受高科技、金融、教育等行业关注。每年配额固定，通常需求远超供给，抽签成为常态。本年度H-1B注册延续近年来的电子化流程，提升了效率与透明度。
NACSHR 将持续关注后续的审理进度及相关政策更新，第一时间为企业HR与国际人才提供权威解读与实务建议。
以下为官方信息：
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has received enough electronic registrations for unique beneficiaries during the initial registration period to reach the fiscal year (FY) 2026 H-1B numerical allocations (H-1B cap), including the advanced degree exemption (master’s cap). We have randomly selected enough beneficiaries with properly submitted registrations projected as needed to reach the H-1B cap and have notified all prospective petitioners with selected beneficiaries that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition for such beneficiaries.
Registrants’ online accounts will display a registration status. For more information, visit the H-1B Electronic Registration Process page.
H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2026, including those petitions eligible for the advanced degree exemption, may be filed with USCIS beginning April 1, 2025, if filed for a selected beneficiary and based on a valid registration. Only petitioners with registrations for selected beneficiaries may file H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2026.
An H-1B cap-subject petition must be properly filed at the correct filing location or online at my.uscis.gov and within the filing period indicated on the relevant selection notice. The period for filing the H-1B cap-subject petition will be at least 90 days. Petitioners must include a copy of the applicable selection notice with the FY 2026 H-1B cap-subject petition.
Petitioners must also submit evidence of the beneficiary’s valid passport or travel document used at the time of registration to identify the beneficiary.
Petitioners filing for selected beneficiaries based on their valid registration must still submit evidence or otherwise establish eligibility for petition approval, as registration and selection only pertains to eligibility to file the H-1B cap-subject petition.

2026财年H-1B申请3月7日开启：新规生效，流程与抽签机制重大调整！
美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）近日宣布，2026财年H-1B签证申请的初始注册期将于2025年3月7日中午12点（东部时间）开启，并于2025年3月24日中午12点（东部时间）截止。此次H-1B申请周期不仅延续了电子注册流程，还引入了新的抽签机制和更严格的监管规则，以提高公平性和防止滥用。
H-1B 申请流程概览
申请H-1B签证的雇主及其法律代表需通过USCIS在线系统提交电子注册，并支付每位受益人$215的注册费。在注册窗口结束后，USCIS将对符合条件的受益人进行随机抽选，并计划在2025年3月31日前通过在线账户通知获选者。
新规生效：H-1B抽签机制与流程重大调整
2026财年起，USCIS正式实施以受益人为中心的H-1B抽签流程，旨在减少以往存在的“多家雇主为同一申请人提交多次注册”的问题。
关键变化包括：
单一受益人唯一注册：每位H-1B申请人无论由多少雇主提名，都只能被计算一次，大幅降低“多重注册”操纵抽签的可能性。
新规避免恶意操纵：USCIS强调，任何企图规避新规、通过多个注册增加中签概率的行为将受到严厉审查。
随机抽选优化：此次改革将确保每位受益人享有平等的抽签机会，提高中签机制的公平性。
缴费限额调整与电子注册优化
美国财政部为配合H-1B申请季，暂时提高信用卡支付限额，每日信用卡交易上限由**$24,999.99提高至$99,999.99**，以满足雇主大规模注册需求。同时，USCIS对电子注册系统进行了优化，包括：
助理可同时协助多个法律代表，增强协作灵活性。
自动填充部分I-129表格字段，减少人工输入错误。
支持批量上传H-1B受益人数据，简化雇主提交流程。
F-1签证持有者Cap-Gap期限延长
对于F-1签证持有者，此次调整还带来了一个重大利好。DHS（国土安全部）宣布，Cap-Gap期限将从10月1日延长至次年4月1日，确保H-1B申请人在身份转换期间能够继续合法工作。
雇主与申请人的应对建议
提前注册：建议雇主尽早完成USCIS账户创建，并确保所提交的受益人信息准确无误。
合规申请：雇主需遵守单一受益人唯一注册的规定，避免违规行为导致申请无效。
关注最新动态：密切留意USCIS官网，以获取官方指南和重要通知。
结语
2026财年H-1B申请窗口即将开启，面对新规的实施和抽签流程的重大调整，雇主和申请人需提前做好准备，以确保符合新的合规要求。关注H-1B政策变动并积极应对，将有助于提高申请的成功率。

Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the initial registration period for the fiscal year 2026 H-1B cap will open at noon Eastern on March 7 and run through noon Eastern on March 24, 2025. During this period, prospective petitioners and representatives must use a USCIS online account to register each beneficiary electronically for the selection process and pay the associated registration fee for each beneficiary.
Prospective H-1B cap-subject petitioners or their representatives are required to use a USCIS online account to register each beneficiary electronically for the selection process and pay the associated $215 H-1B registration fee for each registration submitted on behalf of each beneficiary.
If you are an H-1B petitioning employer who does not have a USCIS online account, you will need to create an organizational account. If you are an H-1B petitioning employer who had an H-1B registrant account for the FY 2021 – FY 2024 H-1B registration seasons, but you did not use the account for FY 2025, your existing account will be converted to an organizational account after your next log in. First-time registrants can create an account at any time. You can find additional information and resources on the organizational accounts, including a link to step-by-step videos, on the Organizational Accounts Frequently Asked Questions page. These FAQs will be updated with FY 2026 information before the start of the initial registration period.
Representatives may add clients to their accounts at any time, but both representatives and registrants must wait until March 7 to enter beneficiary information and submit the registration with the $215 fee. Selections take place after the initial registration period closes, so there is no requirement to register on the day the initial registration period opens.
The FY 2026 H-1B cap will use the beneficiary-centric selection process launched in FY 2025. Under the beneficiary-centric process, registrations are selected by unique beneficiary rather than by registration. If we receive registrations for enough unique beneficiaries by March 24, we will randomly select unique beneficiaries and send selection notifications via users’ USCIS online accounts. If we do not receive registrations for enough unique beneficiaries, all registrations for unique beneficiaries that were properly submitted in the initial registration period will be selected. We intend to notify by March 31 prospective petitioners and representatives whose accounts have at least one registration selected.
The U.S. Department of Treasury has approved a temporary increase in the daily credit card transaction limit from $24,999.99 to $99,999.99 per day for the FY 2026 H-1B cap season. This temporary increase is in response to the volume of previous H-1B registrations that exceeded the daily credit card limit. Transactions more than $99,999.99 may be made via Automated Clearing House (ACH). Use of ACH may require the payor to alert their bank in advance to remove any potential ACH block on their account. We will provide additional information before the start of the initial H-1B registration period.
An H-1B cap-subject petition, including a petition for a beneficiary who is eligible for the advanced degree exemption, may only be filed by a petitioner whose registration for the beneficiary named in the H-1B petition was selected in the H-1B registration process. Additional information on the electronic registration process is available on the H-1B Electronic Registration Process page.
Organizational Account Enhancements for FY 2026
For FY 2026, we have made multiple enhancements for organizational and representative accounts for H-1B filing. These enhancements include:
The ability for paralegals to work with more than one legal representative. A paralegal will now be able to accept invitations from multiple legal representative accounts, allowing them to prepare H-1B registrations, Form I-129 H-1B petitions, and Form I-907 requests for premium processing for different attorneys, all within one paralegal account;
An easier way for legal representatives to add paralegals to company clients.
Pre-population of certain Form I-129 fields from selected H-1B registrations; and
The ability to prepare a spreadsheet of H-1B beneficiary data and upload the information to pre-populate data in H-1B registrations.
These enhancements will be live before the start of the initial registration period.
2025财年美国H-1B签证达到上限，你抽中了吗？美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）已宣布完成 2025 财年（FY）H-1B 签证上限（包括高级学位豁免）的初步筛选程序。根据其目前的状态，注册被分为 "已提交"、"已选定"、"未选定 "等状态。被选中的注册者现在有资格从 2024 年 4 月 1 日起递交 H-1B 上限主体申请。该公告还包括对申请费用的修改，以及自 2024 年 4 月 1 日起启用新版 I-129 表格，旧版表格不再有宽限期。此外，移民局还推出了 H-1B 申请在线申请和组织账户，以方便管理申请。
美国 H-1B 签证的电子注册数量已达到 2025 年联邦财政年度的签证上限。签证上限为 65,000 个，另外 20,000 个签证可供拥有美国高级签证的人使用。
Notice of FY 2025 H-1B Cap Initial Registration Selection Process Completion and Cap Season Reminders
H-1B Initial Electronic Registration Selection Process Completed
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has received enough electronic registrations for unique beneficiaries during the initial registration period to reach the fiscal year (FY) 2025 H-1B numerical allocations (H-1B cap), including the advanced degree exemption (master’s cap). We have randomly selected enough properly submitted registrations for unique beneficiaries projected as needed to reach the H-1B cap and have notified all prospective petitioners with selected beneficiaries that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition for such beneficiaries.
Registrants’ online accounts will now show one of the following statuses for each registration (that is, for each beneficiary registered):
Submitted: The registration has been submitted and is eligible for selection. If the initial selection process has been completed, this registration remains eligible, unless subsequently invalidated, for selection in any subsequent selections for the fiscal year for which it was submitted.
Selected: Selected to file an H-1B cap petition.
Not Selected: Not eligible to file an H-1B cap petition based on this registration.
Denied – duplicate registration: Multiple registrations were submitted by or on behalf of the same registrant for the same beneficiary. If denied as a duplicate registration, all registrations submitted by or on behalf of the same registrant for this beneficiary for the fiscal year are invalid.
Invalidated – failed payment: A registration was submitted but the payment method was declined, not reconciled, or otherwise invalid.
Deleted: The submitted registration has been deleted and is no longer eligible for selection.
Processing submission: USCIS is processing your submission. It may take up to 72 hours for all of your case information to show on the case details page. While it is processing, you will be unable to access your draft.
For more information, visit the H-1B Electronic Registration Process page.
FY 2025 H-1B Cap Petitions May Be Filed Starting April 1
H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2025, including those petitions eligible for the advanced degree exemption, may be filed with USCIS beginning April 1, 2024, if filed for a selected beneficiary and based on a valid registration.
Only petitioners with registrations for selected beneficiaries may file H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2025.
An H-1B cap-subject petition must be properly filed at the correct filing location (see H-1B Form I-129 Filing Location Change to Lockbox section below) or online at my.uscis.gov and within the filing period indicated on the relevant selection notice. The period for filing the H-1B cap-subject petition will be at least 90 days. Petitioners must include a copy of the applicable selection notice with the FY 2025 H-1B cap-subject petition.
Petitioners must also submit evidence of the beneficiary’s valid passport or travel document used at the time of registration to identify the beneficiary.
Petitioners filing for selected beneficiaries based on their valid registration must still submit evidence or otherwise establish eligibility for petition approval, as registration and selection only pertains to eligibility to file the H-1B cap-subject petition.
For more information, visit the H-1B Cap Season page.
New Fees and Form Edition
On Jan. 31, 2024, USCIS published a final rule that adjusts the fees required for most immigration applications and petitions. The new fees are effective April 1, 2024. Petitions postmarked on or after April 1, 2024, must include the new fees or we will not accept them. Additionally, there will be a new 04/01/24 edition of Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker. There will be no grace period for filing the new version of Form I-129 because it must include the new fee calculation.
What to Know About Sending Us Your Form I-129.
We will accept the 05/31/23 edition of this form if it is postmarked before April 1, 2024;
We will not accept the 05/31/23 edition of this form if it is postmarked on or after April 1, 2024; and
We will only accept the 04/01/24 edition of this form if it is postmarked on or after April 1, 2024.
We will use the postmark date of a filing to determine which form version and fees are correct but will use the received date for purposes of any regulatory or statutory filing deadlines.
As a reminder, we recently announced a final premium processing fee rule that increased the filing fee for Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, to adjust for inflation, effective Feb. 26, 2024. If we receive a Form I-907 postmarked on or after Feb. 26, 2024, with the incorrect filing fee, we will reject the Form I-907 and return the filing fee. For filings sent by commercial courier (such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL), the postmark date is the date on the courier receipt.
Online Filing and Organizational Accounts
On Feb. 28, 2024, we launched new online organizational accounts that allow multiple people within an organization and their legal representatives to collaborate on and prepare H-1B registrations, H-1B petitions, and any associated Form I-907. Information on organizational accounts is available on the Organizational Accounts Frequently Asked Questions page.
We also launched online filing of Form I-129 and associated Form I-907 for non-cap H-1B petitions on March 25. On April 1, we will begin accepting online filing for H-1B cap petitions and associated Forms I-907 for petitioners whose registrations have been selected.
Petitioners will continue to have the option of filing a paper Form I-129 H-1B petition and any associated Form I-907 if they prefer. However, during the initial launch of organizational accounts, users will not be able to link paper-filed Forms I-129 and I-907 to their online accounts.
H-1B Form I-129 Filing Location Change to Lockbox
Starting April 1, 2024, H-1B and H-1B1 (HSC) Form I-129 petitions are no longer filed directly with the USCIS service centers. All paper-based H-1B and H-1B1 (HSC) Form I-129 petitions are now filed at USCIS lockbox locations. This includes cap, non-cap, and cap-exempt H-1B filings.
We will reject H-1B or H-1B1 (HSC) petitions received at a USCIS service center on or after April 1, 2024. There will be no grace period provided.
USCIS has specific mailing addresses for cases that are subject to the H-1B cap. To determine the correct mailing address, please see our Form I-129 Direct Filing Addresses page.
If a petition is filed at the wrong location, we may reject the petition. Rejected petitions will not retain a filing date. If we reject a petition because it was filed at the wrong location, it may be refiled at the correct location, or online. H-1B cap subject petitions may be refiled at the correct location, or online, as long as the petition is refiled during the designated 90-day filing window listed on the selection notice.
No More Pre-paid Mailers
As of March 25, 2024, we are no longer using prepaid mailers to send out any communication or final notices for any H-1B or H-1B1 (HSC) petitions. With H-1B intake now occurring at the lockbox or online, we will not be able to use any prepaid mailers for H-1B or H-1B1 (HSC) filings.
The process of printing and mailing H-1B petition approval notices by first-class mail is fully automated. For petitions filed online, myUSCIS account holders will also receive an email or text message notification in their myUSCIS account when there is a case status change on a case in their account, followed by a paper notice by mail.
Receipt Notice Delays
When we receive a timely and properly filed H-1B cap subject petition, the petitioner (and, if applicable, the petitioner’s legal representative) will be provided a Form I-797, Notice of Action, communicating receipt of the petition. Due to increased filing volumes typically seen during H-1B cap filing periods, there are instances where a paper petition is timely and properly filed by mail, but issuance of the Form I-797 is delayed. If you are a petitioner and have confirmation from the delivery service that the petition was delivered, but you have not yet received a Form I-797 confirming receipt of the petition, you should not submit a second petition. If you have confirmation from the delivery service that the petition was delivered and you then submit a second H-1B cap petition for the same beneficiary, you will be considered to have submitted multiple H-1B cap petitions. This will result in denial or revocation of both petitions.
If more than 30 days have passed since the confirmation of delivery and you have still not received a Form I-797, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center for assistance.
If you receive notification from the delivery service, or your tracking information suggests that there may be a delay or damage to the package or that the package was misrouted, you should follow the Delivery Service Error Guidance on the H-1B Cap Season webpage.

两个H1B Final Rules最全解读｜一人一抽落地，申请费真的涨了！一人一抽必然是打击滥用抽签的最好手段，但是基于移民局拖拖拉拉的性格，政策能否今年落地大家都在关注。终于！就在今天！（美国华盛顿1月30日）国土安全部公布了一份叫做Improving the H-1B Registration Selection Process and Program Integrity的文件，正式确认：
从今年2月2日起公告30天后，今年3月3日起，H-1B将采用“一人一抽”制度！Official response: DHS agrees with the need for prompt implementation of this rule. This rule will be effective in time for the FY 2025 H-1B cap season (the H-1B registration period and related selection process beginning in March 2024).国土安全部卡着最后时间节点走到这一步，想必有今年必须实行的决心，而且这一维护抽签公平的制度要想找个理由，在公示期内提出有效异议也比较困难。Final Rule说，今年H-1B怎么抽？必须用Passport/Travel Document来注册。往年没有护照也可以参与抽签，但是今年开始，受益人与护照信息绑定，防止一人多抽现象发生。How does it work？ 今年之前的H-1B注册抽签都是基于雇主而非受益人，所以同一个受益人可以有多个抽签机会。但是改革之后是基于受益人来抽签，纵使您有上百个雇主注册抽签，也只能占用一个抽签名额。3月6日开始注册！之前不是还说要自动延长Cap-Gap时间到次年4月1日，还有要支持H-1B自主创业么？
不好意思，这两个政策Final Rule都没说，今年可能来不及落地。
如果我有多个offer怎么办？
所有的公司正常注册抽签，一人一抽不排斥多个公司sponsor同一个受益人。您可以中签后选择最心仪的公司递交H-1B申请。
中签后我可以递交多份H-1B申请提高批准率吗？可以，这一点移民局不禁止。今年H-1B申请费怎么涨？首先我们来明确涨价前H-1B申请费的组成部分：注册抽签费 + 基本申请费 + 反诈骗费 + 美国工人培训费 （+ 加急费，自选），我们来一个一个说明。今年的H-1B申请费怎么涨？
注册抽签费：移民局已经确认，不涨价！还是10刀！
基本申请费：根据最新的Final Rule，要对申请人（雇主）进行区分了！如果您的雇主是小公司/non-profit，那么基本申请费还保持在$460。如果您的雇主不属于前面两类，则基本申请费会涨价到$780，涨价幅度是70%！*小公司：雇佣25个或以下全职员工的公司。
反诈骗费：Final Rule里没说要涨价，所以维持在500刀。
美国工人培训费：没有涨价，还是25个全职员工以下的小公司及无需抽签的雇主缴纳750刀，其他雇主缴纳1500刀。
加急费：Final Rule没说涨价，但是2023年12月27日，移民局公告说：从2024年2月26日起，H-1B加急费将从原本的$2，500涨到$2,805，所以加急费不是不涨是刚涨过。
庇护费：USCIS说，要限制H-1B申请人交庇护费的频率。所以坏消息是，600刀庇护费要交了（小公司的庇护费减半，一共是300刀），好消息是仅应针对H-1B首次申请，后续的transfer、extension、renewals、change of status都不需要重新交。庇护费于今年4月1日生效。如果今年抽签H-1B，涨价是躲不掉的，但是如果您申请H-1B transfer、extension之类的，或者不用抽签，只要您能在4月1日前递交H-1B申请，涨价的镰刀就割不到！
USCIS: The Asylum Program Fee should only be assessed for the initial petition filed by an employer, like the Fraud Prevention and Detection and Public Law 114-113 fees, and not subsequent transfers, extensions, renewals, and changes of status.
