H-1B CAP UPDATE

USCIS HQ indicated that the jump in the H-1B count from the last update on September 18, 2009 (46,000) to the current number (53,800) is due more to the reaching of the Masters cap and the placing of the remaining Masters cap cases into the regular cap pool then any significant increase in H-1B filings over the last month and half. However, companies should be advised to file H-1B cap cases as quickly as possible because there are less than 10,000 visas left, and there is no way to know when they will actually run out.
