Changes to the H-1B lottery

In February 2024, the Department of Homeland Security published a final rule changing the H-1B registration selection process so that each H-1B beneficiary is selected only once regardless of how many registrations are submitted on the beneficiary’s behalf. This change was designed to eliminate incentives for bad actors to submit multiple H-1B registrations for the same individual and took effect in time for the fiscal year 2025 H-1B lottery.

DHS reported that H-1B registrations for beneficiaries with 2+ registrations were down by 88% for the FY 2025 H-1B cap, indicating that the change to a beneficiary-centric selection process accomplished its goal.
