USCIS UPDATES H-1B VISA COUNT ON 6/1/2012: AT 55,600

Less than 10,000 H-1B visas are left for FY2013. USCIS just issued another H-1B cap update. As of June 1, 2012, they have accepted approximately 55,600 H-1B petitions subject to the regular H-1B visa cap plus an additional number of 18,700 of petitions of the U.S. advanced degree quota. The limit is being reached quickly, with over 8,000 visas used in a week so there will probably be another week to submit the visas and then they will be gone until October 1, 2013. We are rushing to get everything filed on time for everyone.
