USCIS released updated information on the numbers of cap-subject H-1Bs filed since April 1.  As of December 17, 2009, USCIS has received approximately 64,200 H-1B petitions counting toward the 65,000 cap.  The updated count means that as of December 17, 2009, there were 800 H-1B visas left under this year’s H-1B quota and USCIS will continue to accept petitions subject to the general cap.

H-1B Quota – Last Day(s)

The numbers, as reported indicate that the H-1B cap will close within one or two days.  As a result, we are not be able to take any new FY2010 H-1B cases.  Please contact us if you would like us to help you obtain an H-1B under the FY2011 quota which is set to open on April 1, 2010.
