H-1B Cap Reached

April 08th, 2008 | Category: H-1B, News

As expected, USCIS announced earlier today that it has received enough H-1B petitions to meet the cap for fiscal year 2009.  The 20,000 H-1B cap for holders of advanced degrees has also been reached.

Before running the random selection process, USCIS will complete initial data entry for all filings received during the filing period ending on April 7, 2008.   Due to the high number of petitions, USCIS is not yet able to announce the precise day on which it will conduct the random selection process.

The agency will conduct the selection process for “advanced degree” exemption petitions first.    All “advanced degree” petitions not selected will be part of the random selection process for the 65,000 limit.
