FY 2010 H1B Visa Cap: December 2009 Update
As of December 12, 2009, USCIS has received 62,900 H-1B Visa petitions and are only 2,100 away from hitting the 65,000 H1B Visa cap for FY2010. USCIS representatives have confirmed the uptick in applications and have indicated that the cap will be met very soon. USCIS also confirmed that there is weak demand for visas under the Chile (1,400) and Singapore (5,400) set asides. If USCIS feels these allocations will go unused, they may return these visas to the general H1B Visa pool. Regardless, it is unlikely the FY 2010 H1B Visa Cap will last beyond the end of 2009.
