H-1B visa lottery system scraped: Trump administration prioritises 'higher-paid, skilled foreign workers'

The US has announced a major change to the H-1B work visa programme, ending the long-running lottery system.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the new system will give priority to foreign professionals who are more highly skilled and earn higher wages.
