U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced late Friday that it has received a
sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2014.
USCIS has also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt
from the cap under the advanced degree exemption.
USCIS will not accept H-1B
petitions subject to the FY 2014 cap or the advanced degree exemption after Friday April 5, 2013.
USCIS will use their lottery system (a computer-generated random selection process) among all FY 2014 cap-subject petitions received through April 5, 2013. They will run a lottery on the advanced degree cases first and then all the advanced degrees not selected will join the pool with the other cases.
USCIS received very high volume and they do not know yet what date the lottery results will be announced. Also, USCIS is not providing the total number of
petitions received, so no one knows as of yet.
Congress, what more proof do you need that we need more H-1B numbers???
