USCIS UPDATES H-1B CAP COUNT FOR JULY 30, 2010 -- AT 27,300

USCIS just issued another H-1B cap update. As of July 30, 2010, they have received approximately 27,300 H-1B petitions subject to the regular cap plus approximately 11,600 H-1B petitions subject to the master's degree cap. This is double the rate from last month - about 1300 petitions per week versus 600 or 700 we saw a couple of months ago. Still plenty of visas left. We'll wait and see how it goes.
