Fiscal Year 2008 H-1B Cap Hit Already!

Written By Brian D. Zuccaro, Esq.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received enough H-1B petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008). USCIS will use a random selection process for all cap-subject filings received on April 2, 2007 and April 3, 2007. USCIS will reject and return along with filing fee(s) all petitions received on those days that are not randomly selected. In light of the high volume of filings, USCIS will not be able to conduct the random selection for several weeks.

USCIS does not yet know how many H-1B Master’s Exemption petitions it has received as those petitions are mixed with the cap-subject cases received on April 2 and 3. USCIS will make a future announcement regarding the “final receipt date” for these petitions.
