As of November 27, 2009, approximately 58,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been filed. The federally mandated cap for Fiscal Year 2010 is 65,000. When taking into account that 6,800 H-1B numbers are reserved for nationals of Chile and Singapore, that means that the USCIS has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to exhaust the H-1B cap for FY 2010. However, USCIS continues to accept H-1B petitions at this time. If you have an H-1B case to file, you should file it as soon as possible. We will provide additional information at www.bashyamspiro.com as it becomes available.
