H-1B Cap Count at 61,100 as of Dec. 4

Murali Bashyam

As of December 4, 2009, approximately 61,100 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.
