DHS Withdraws H-1B Wage-Based Selection Rule

The Department of Homeland Security published a final rule withdrawing the Modification of Registration Requirement for Petitioners Seeking to File Cap-Subject H-1B petitions final rule, also known as the “H-1B Selection Final Rule”, which was issued January 8, 2021. This rule was published at 86 FR 1676 (1/8/21) and was to become effective on 12/31/21. The rule would have changed the way that USCIS selects H-1B registrations submitted by prospective employers seeking to file an H-1B cap-subject petition by ranking and selecting registrations based on wage levels.
