H-1B Visa Count (January 14, 2011) | 4300 Regular Cap Visas Remain

Posted by Karen Pollak on Wed, Jan 19, 2011 @ 9:50 AM

As of December, 24, 2010, the Master's exemption number for H-1B has been reached. For the regular H-1B cap, we are in the final stretch and expect the remaining 4300 H-1B visas to be used  in the next 2-3 weeks. It reflects the sluggish economy, the high unemployment (9.6%) and the tax uncertainty.

The good news is that you can still apply for the fiscal year 2011!

H-1B Visa Count (November 5, 2010)

Posted by Karen Pollak on Wed, Nov 10, 2010 @ 3:52 PM

The Master's exemption number for H-1B is close to the quota (less than 3,800 remaining). For the regular H-1B cap, the rate remains around 1,200 new petitions per week.  It reflects the sluggish economy, the high unemployment (9.6%) and the tax uncertainty.

The good news is that you can still apply for the fiscal year 2011! It is also possible that we can see before the hollidays and after the elections a surge in H1-B applications.
