H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
On November 3, 2009, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) updated the count (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=138b6138f898d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=13ad2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60a RCRD) of H-1B petitions received and counted towards the 65,000 cap.
As of October 30, 2009, 53,800 H-1B cap subject nonimmigrant visa petitions have been filed with the USCIS. The Service has advised that they will continue to accept petitions until the cap is reached.
Additionally, the Service has reported that they received 20,000 advanced degree H-1B petitions. Although the limit on advanced degree petitions is 20,000, past experience has tended to show that not all petitions received are approvable.
Accordingly, qualifying applicants are still able to petition for an H-1B nonimmigrant visa under the general cap.
