Rajiv's Article - This year's H-1B lottery: The Trump legacy of chaos must end - The Economic Times
Published by: The Economic Times - Date: January 07, 2021
Synopsis
For this year (FY 2021-22), the USCIS has attempted to change the lottery selection process to favor the highest paid employees first. That change is embodied in a proposed regulation, which can be published as a final rule any time.

Rajiv's Article - Decoder: Could multiple H-1B lottery petitions be filed for the same employee? - The Economic Times
Published by: The Economic Times - Date: March 03, 2021
Synopsis
Often, multiple employers are competing to hire the same employee. It is obviously in the best interest of an employee to have multiple filings because that increases their chances of being selected in the electronic selection system (lottery). And equally obviously, this could amount to an abuse of the system if there were no checks on multiple filings.
