The 2026 H-1B cap season is approaching fast, and this year employers face a very different landscape. The Trump administration recently announced new rules that would tie lottery selection to wage levels and increase fees for certain petitions. These changes come on top of tighter eligibility reviews, closer government scrutiny, and more pressure to get filings right the first time.

Employers are already concerned: 58 percent of executives expect immigration policies to create staffing challenges, and 70 percent anticipate significant impacts from enforcement within the next 12 months. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to prepare for the lottery with confidence while strengthening your company’s long-term immigration strategy. We’ll cover:

• What the new wage-based selection and fee rules mean for employers in FY2027
• Practical steps HR can take now to avoid common pitfalls and prepare for audits
• Backup visa options and cross-border strategies if petitions are not selected
• How to communicate immigration risks and timelines to executives and employees
