Partner and Immigration Team Co-Leader, Andrew M. Wilson, explains the current issues with the H-1B Cap lottery system.
"Immigration attorney Andrew Wilson agreed. "It is becoming more and more difficult to rationally explain our H-1B cap lottery system," said Wilson, a partner at Lippes Mathias and co-leader of the firm's immigration practice in Buffalo, N.Y. "How does the volume of registrations justify such a small cap of 85,000 each fiscal year? The numerator stays the same, but the denominator keeps growing and has more than doubled in two years. That math simply does not work anymore for such an important component of our immigration system."
