USCIS released the latest H-1B visa information on June 12, 2012. On June 11, 2012, USCIS received a sufficient number of petitions to reach the statutory cap for FY 2013. On June 7, 2012, USCIS also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the advanced degree exemption.

USCIS will reject petitions subject to the cap for H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date in FY 2013 that are received after June 11, 2012.

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. Moreover, those who are in H-1B status but plan to do an H-1B transfer will not count towards the general H-1B cap too.

If you are interested in filing an H-1B petition exempted from the cap, please contact our experienced attorney staff at info@hooyou.com for a free evaluation. We will ensure that your application is handled promptly.
