INS ANNOUNCES H-1B USAGE STATISTICS FOR FIRST PART OF 1996
According to a memorandum distributed to Immigration and Naturalization Service District Directors, Officers-in-Charge and Service Center Directors, in the first seven and a half months of Fiscal Year 1996, only 33,132 H-1B visas had been issued. This is just over half of the alloted 65,000 visas. The 65,000 cap has never been reached in a fiscal year and this year does not appear likely to be the first.
