US H-1B Visa 2026 Changes: Weighted Selection System Explained | Indians Must Prepare Now

Starting February 27, 2026, the US H-1B visa system will undergo a major overhaul. The random lottery will be replaced by a weighted selection process based on skills, salary, and specialized profiles. High-skilled professionals, Masters/PhD holders, and candidates in IT, AI, data, healthcare, and tech sectors will get preference. Entry-level, low-salary, and generic profiles may struggle. Large US companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Apple have an advantage. Small and mid-sized companies may face challenges. Green Card pathways for high-paid H-1B workers could become faster, but low-salary roles may face delays. Indians planning to work in the US must upgrade skills, maintain clean documentation, strategically choose employers, and plan for Green Card early. This video explains all key changes, impacts, and preparation tips for FY 2027.
