United States reaches FY2009 H-1B cap

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

The United States H-1B program has proven incredibly popular again, reaching the Congressionally mandated cap of 65,000 visa applications by 08 April 2008. United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) also announced that they had received more than enough applications by 08 April to satisfy the 20,000 visas that are exempted from the cap for foreign graduates of US universities who hold at least a Master’s degree.

USCIS will perform an automated selection process on all applications received during the filing period (01 April through 07 April 2008) to determine who will get the visas once initial data entry for the applications is complete. Because of the high number of applications, USCIS has stated that it is unknown when this will take place.
