With the 2026 H-1B cycle set to operate under revised rules, a new guide is flagging key changes that could affect how applicants prepare, file, and plan for the visa process this year.
The 'H-1B Application Essential Guide for 2026,' a guide released by Washington-based immigration firm World One Law Group, is intended to help HR teams, in-house counsel, founders, and operations leaders responsible for workforce planning and visa sponsorship understand policy shifts, anticipate risks, and align hiring plans with updated requirements.

The guide highlights the US$100,000 supplemental fee as a central consideration for roles filled from outside the United States. According to the report, employers will need to reassess first-year cost assumptions, identify cases that may trigger the fee, and coordinate planning to avoid unexpected exposure related to travel timing or pending petitions.
