H-1B Filing Reaches 62,900 on December 11, 2009
December 16, 2009 – 3:42 am
According to the latest H-1B update issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), approximately 62,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been filed as of December 11, 2009. USCIS has approved sufficient number of advanced degree petitions to meet the exemption limit of 20,000 this year. However, USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions are received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
