The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting H-1B applications for applicants beginning employment on October 1, 2010 or later. Don't delay because the volume of H-1B petitions filed at the end of 2009 (October-December 2009) increased substantially and it's likely that this trend will continue into 2010 meaning the H-1B cap could be met and exceeded on or shortly after April 1st.
Good Luck!!!
