Updated H-1B Cap Count for Fiscal Year 2010

by Elisa Jaehner on November 13, 2009

As of October 31, approximately 53,800 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap.  Now, any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will be counted toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000.  USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits of 65,000.
