H-1B count for FY 2010: 1,300 more applications filed in two business days
USCIS has just released the latest H-1B visa information on December 17, 2009. As of December 15, 2009, USCIS reported that 64,200 cap-subject petitions had been filed.
On December 11, 2009, USCIS reported that 62,900 cap-subject petitions had been filed.
From December 11 to December 15, 1,300 more applications were filed. As mentioned in all other previous H-1B updates, spots for advanced degree holders have been satisfactorily met; all other advanced degree holders approved will be counted towards the general cap. Remember, those who receive a job offer from a governmental or non-profit organization will not count towards the general H-1B cap.
Because 6,800 out of the 65,000 regular spots are kept for citizens of Singapore and Chile, this only leaves 58,200 spots for other nationals. Bear in mind that USCIS takes into account the fact that some of these applications may be revoked, withdrawn by applicants, or denied. As such, USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until they specify otherwise.
The rate at which H-1B applications are being filed continues to increase. At this rate, H-1B availability will likely cease very soon. If you are interested in filing an H-1B petition, it is imperative that you act quickly. Please contact our experienced attorney staff at info@hooyou.com for a free evaluation.
