USCIS reports significant changes in the H-1B visa season, with a focus on higher-skilled foreign workers. This year, 71.5% of selected applicants hold U.S. master's degrees or higher, a notable increase from last year. The agency also noted a substantial drop in registrations within the lowest wage category, indicating a successful effort to curb low-wage applications and protect American jobs.
