Sarah Kilibarda, Sari Long and Beth Carlson Quoted By the Society for Human Resources Management

"[T]he process until now was that employers would prepare and file petitions for all individuals they wanted to have in the lottery. USCIS would run the lottery and return any petitions not accepted. Instead of preparing and filing all those petitions for entry into the lottery only to have USCIS return about [60%] of them, employers will complete a registration and the agency will hold a lottery based only on those registrations."Sarah Kilibarda, SHRM
