April 08, 2009
USCIS, April 8, 2009, announced that it continues to accept H-1B nonimmigrant visa petitions subject to the fiscal year 2010 (FY 2010) cap. USCIS so far have not revived sufficient H-1B petitions to meet the H-1B cap for FY2010. The USCIS will continue to monitor the number of H-1B petitions received for both the 65,000 regular cap and the 20,000 U.S. master’s degree or higher educational exemption cap.

USCIS informed that, during the initial filing window for H-1Bs for fiscal year 2010, it has not received even half the number of petitions to reach the 65,000 cap.

USCIS has informed AILA that within the first five business days, USCIS received only half the petitions needed to meet the FY2010 cap and has received just short of the 20,000 needed to reach the H-1B master's cap.

USCIS announced an updated number of filings for H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2010 program. USCIS has received approximately 42,000 H-1B petitions counting toward the Congressionally-mandated 65,000 cap. The agency continues to accept H-1B petitions subject to the general cap.
