The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that as of December 10, 2009, approximately 62,500 H1B cap-subject petitions have been filed. As we mentioned in our earlier post, the 20,000 Advanced Degree H1B cap was already exhausted for the Fiscal year of 2010, any H1B petitions filed on behalf of these Advance Degree holders will now count toward the general 65,000 H1B cap. As of today, the USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject and advance degree petitions until the statutory limit is reached.
