[–] akashshah87 9mo ago ↗ Summary from ChatGPT:- DHS proposes replacing the random H-1B lottery with a weighted system based on wage levels (higher wage = higher chance).- Weighting scheme: Wage Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4.- Goal: favor higher-skilled/higher-paid workers while still leaving a chance for lower wage levels.- Differs from the 2020 rule (rank-order by wage); this uses probability weighting, not exclusion.
