USCIS released the latest H-1B visa information on June 4, 2012. As of June 1, 2012, USCIS reported that approximately 55,600 cap petitions had been filed and 18,700 spots for U.S. advanced degree holders have been filled.

Also according to USCIS, as of May 25, 2012, approximately 48,400 cap petitions had been filed and 17,500 spots for U.S. advanced degree holders have been filled.

As of May 18, 2012, USCIS reported that approximately 42,000 cap petitions had been filed and 16,000 spots for U.S. advanced degree holders have been filled.

In summary, within one week from May 18 to May 25, about 6400 cap petitions and 1500 petitions for U.S. advanced degree holders have been filed; within one week from May 25 to June 1, about 7200 cap petitions and 1200 petitions for U.S. advanced degree holders have been filed.

We predict that H-1B availability will probably cease within one week at the current pace.

However, please remember, those who receive a job offer from a U.S. University, governmental research institution or non-profit research organization will not count towards the general H-1B cap mentioned above.

If you are interested in filing an H-1B petition, please contact our experienced attorney staff at info@hooyou.com for a free evaluation. We have helped many clients obtain their H-1B approvals since this April. We will ensure that your application is handled promptly.
