H-1B Cap Count Update 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reported that as of October 22, 2010, 44,300 H-1B cap-subject petitions, counting against the 65,000 quota, and 16,200 counting against the 20,000 advanced degree exemption, have been receipted.

While the filing of H-1B cap cases appears to be proceeding at a steady pace, it is impossible to predict when the cap will be reached. Accordingly, Greenberg Traurig recommends that potential H-1B cap cases be filed as soon as possible.
