FY2011 H-1B Cap Reached as of January 27, 2011

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has received enough H-1B petitions to meet the statutory cap for fiscal year 2011. USCIS said that Jan. 26, 2011 is the final receipt date for FY2011 H-1B petitions and that it will reject all cap-subject H-1B petitions postmarked after Jan. 26, 2011. USCIS will utilize a computer-generated random selection process for all cap-subject H-1B petitions that were received on Jan. 26, 2011 and will reject all cap-subject petitions that are not selected.
