Advanced-Degree H1B Cap Reached For Fiscal Year 2007

July 31, 2006

USCIS announced that the U.S. Advanced Degree H-1B cap was reached on July 26, 2006. Petitions received on July 26, 2006 will be subject to the random selection process that was similarly undertaken for those subject to the regular cap.

This announcement indicates that employers will not be eligible to sponsor any new H-1B workers to begin work before October 1, 2007. If the lack of H-1B visas has negative ramifications on your business, we urge you to contact your Congressional representatives at the link below, and ask them to expand the H-1B program.
