USCIS has just announced that as of December 21, 2009, they have received sufficient H1B visa petitions to meet the 65,000 general cap. Petitions received on December 21 will be subject to a random drawing and petitions received after December 21 will be rejected.
USCIS will continue to accept non-cap subject H1B petitions for FY 2010 start dates and will begin accepting FY 2011 petitions on April 1, 2010.
