Before the Lottery: Early Planning for the FY2028 H-1B Cap

Save Your Seat

Join us for an early look at planning for the FY2028 H-1B cap.

H-1B registration will happen in 2027, and the decisions that shape your approach start well before it opens. Wage levels, role eligibility and internal timelines all feed into a weighted selection process, and employers that work through them early have more room to choose deliberately.

This session is for HR and global mobility teams that want to start the FY2028 conversation now. It covers what to settle before registration opens and how other pathways, including L-1, TN and O-1, can run alongside your cap plan rather than behind it, so your program keeps moving whatever the selection results bring.
