USA: 2026 H-1B Cap Season — What Employers Should Prepare Now

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has confirmed the framework for the 2026 H-1B registration period, with notable refinements to selection methodology and supporting documentation.

Employers should begin internal candidate reviews early, coordinate beneficiary information, and verify wage levels against the latest OEWS data before registration opens.

Our team is available to walk sponsoring organisations through eligibility checks, registration logistics, and downstream petition filing.
