H-1B Cap Count as of June 25th

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reported that as of June 25, 2010, 23,500 H-1B cap-subject petitions counting against the 65,000 quota and 10,000 counting against the 20,000 advanced degree exemption have been receipted.

While the H-1B cap continues to appear to be proceeding slowly, it is impossible to predict when the cap will be reached. Accordingly, GT continues to recommend that potential H-1B cap cases be filed immediately.
