United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has released updated H-1B visa numbers for Financial Year 2011. As of January 7, 2011:
- the 20,000-petition cap for H-1B Master’s Exemption visas has been met; and
- 58,700 H-1B regular cap petitions have been filed, 6,300 petitions shy of the cap amount.
Although the H-1B Master’s Exemption visa cap has been met, USCIS will continue to accept these petitions and count them against the regular cap until said cap is reached.
