2026年2月,美国转而采用基于工资的H-1B签证制度,有利于高薪工人,特别是STEM硕士研究生。 The U.S. switched to a salary-based H-1B visa system in Feb 2026, favoring higher-paid workers, especially STEM Master’s grads.

美国从2026年2月27日起以工资加权甄选制度取代H-1B彩票,有利于高薪职位的申请人。 The U.S. has replaced the H-1B lottery with a salary-weighted selection system effective February 27, 2026, favoring applicants in higher-paying roles. 印度本科生,特别是在非STEM田地或不太有声望的学校的印度本科生,除非获得高薪,否则可能面临较低的机会。 Indian undergraduate students, especially in non-STEM fields or less prestigious schools, may face lower odds unless they secure high salaries. 然而,STEM硕士毕业生受益于20,000个签证专项拨款和三年的选修实践培训,从而增加了他们的机会。 However, STEM Master’s graduates benefit from a dedicated 20,000-visa allocation and three years of Optional Practical Training, boosting their chances. MPOWER Finance估计,在新系统下,这些毕业生如果晋升到高薪岗位,成功率为73%,而在旧模式下为70%。 MPOWER Financing estimates a 73% success rate for these graduates under the new system if promoted to higher-paying roles, compared to 70% under the old model. 变更仅适用于上限H-1B方案,不影响其他签证类型。 The change applies only to the capped H-1B program and does not affect other visa types.
