The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) provided a ‘cap count’ for its Fiscal Year 2013 H-1B numbers. These are new H1B applications filed on or after April 1, 2012 for a start date of October 1, 2012.
The H-1B cap is set at 65,000 and the Advanced Degree cap is set at 20,000.
As of June 1, 2012, the Service had received:
If you subtract H-1B numbers allocated for Singapore and Chile, the cap number is approximately 58,000 for regular cap cases. This means the regular H-1B cap will likely be exhausted within a few days.
If you’re going to file an H-1B case for a foreign professional worker, make sure to get it filed as soon as possible!
