Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the H-1B visas?

Answer & Explanation

Option: Both A & B

Explanation:

US President Donald Trump’s administration has once again amended its H-1B visa regime to give priority to higher wages and skills instead of the prevailing lottery system for selection of candidates looking to work in the country. The new wage-based work visa regime will now give priority in selection of visas to applications of those employers where the “proffered wage equals or exceeds” the prevailing level in that area of employment. The old lottery system of work visa selection will not be followed now.
