H-1B Update from USCIS for FY2010
The USCIS announced today, April 27, 2009, that it has received approxiamtely 45,000 H-1B petitions counting toward this fiscal year's general cap of 65,000. Therefore it will continue to accept H-1B petitions that are subject to the general cap.
Then USCIS also announced that it has received approximately 20,000 H-1B petitions for aliens with U.S. advanced degrees subject to the 20,000 advanced degree cap. However, the USCIS says it will continue to accept additional advanced degree petitions because it knows from past experience that some number of the advance degree petitions are not approvable for any number of possible reasons.
I will update this blog on the H-1B account as soon as the USCIS makes further announcements.
