Strategic H-1B Planning for FY 2027: Risks, Opportunities, & Best Practices


Listen Later

Join our Partner and Immigration Partner Gladys Gervacio and Client Services Manager Arianna Gonzalez for an essential session on preparing for the evolving landscape of H-1B visas. With significant changes to the H-1B cap process on the horizon – including the shift from a random lottery to a wage-weighted selection system that favors higher wage levels and introduces compliance complexities employers must understand – this session breaks down what to expect for the FY 2027 cap season, strategies to navigate the new lottery mechanics, and practical tips for early planning.

The discussion also covers the impact of the $100,000 H-1B fee on the upcoming H-1B cap season, along with critical updates on expanded screening and vetting procedures for H-1B and dependent H-4 visa applicants highlighted by the U.S. Department of State, including enhanced online presence reviews and national security considerations that can impact visa processing.

Whether you’re an employer planning sponsorships or advising international talent, this session provides timely insights and actionable guidance to help you prepare for the upcoming H-1B cycle.
