US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced last week that they continued to accept H1B nonimmigrant petitions subject to the Fiscal Year 2011 cap. As of April 8, 2010, USCIS has received approximately 13,500 H1B petitions counting toward the statutory cap of 65,000. The agency has also received approximately 5,600 petitions for individuals with advanced degrees (”master-cap”). With the economy has yet fully recovered and high unemployment rate remains unchanged in the country, we expect the cap will not be exhausted for another few months which can be deemed as good news for those who are eligible for H1b visas.
If you have a job-offer and are considering applying for a H1B visa, please contact Cipolla Law Group today for a case evaluation. We have extensive experience in representing corporations, individuals to obtaining their h1b work visas. Contact us today for a case evaluation and quote.
The Department of State has released its latest Visa Bulletin.
The May 2010 Visa Bulletin indicates that Employment based EB3 category are still oversubscribed and EB3 category for Mexico has become “unavailable”. For Employment based EB2 category, it is current for all areas of chargeability or “Worldwide” except for China and India.
Regarding visa availability for family sponsored categories, during the past 15 months, the level of demand family based petitions have been low. As a result, cut off dates for most of these preferences have been moving forward rapidly. If you are considering sponsoring a foreign family member to the United States, you should file your application as soon as you can while the current processing time is relatively short.
