Will Rocket Lab USA keep you in the U.S.? — the 2026 outlook
Rocket Lab USA sponsors H-1B, but it is cap-subject, so a petition still goes through the 2026 wage-weighted lottery. Odds of selection now depend on the DOL wage level of your offer — roughly 15% per draw at Level I, rising to about 61% at Level IV (down from a flat ~35% under the old random lottery).
