As of December 17, 2010, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, "USCIS" had received approximately 53,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions. Additionally, USCIS had received 19,700 H-1B petitions for beneficiaries with U.S. advanced degrees. Current projections suggest that USCIS may reach the H-1B limit as early as late January 2011, so it is important that employers identify and initiate any H-1B cap subject petitions now. Once USCIS reaches the limit, it will not accept new H-1B cap subject petitions until April 1, 2011, and those petitions may not seek an employment start date earlier than October 1, 2011.
