No More H-1B Lottery, US Notifies New Process For Work Visas
The Donald Trump administration in the United States is replacing its longstanding H-1B work visa lottery system with a new weighted approach that prioritises skilled, higher-paid foreign workers, a change expected to make it significantly harder for entry-level professionals, including those from India, to secure work visas in America.
The overhaul follows a series of actions by the Trump administration aimed at reshaping a visa programme that critics say has become a pipeline for overseas workers willing to work for lower pay, but supporters say drives innovation.
