Employers can feel optimistic about hiring foreign nationals this fall who need cap subject H-1B visas. The USCIS reports that less than 38,000 cap subject H-1B petitions were filed against the 65,000 annual quota, and less than 14,000 H-1B petitions for holders of US MS/PhD degrees against the 20,000 additional set aside. Employers should file as soon as feasible, however. Last fall saw an increasingly upward trend in filings, culminating in a race against the clock in December, when H-1B visas ran out.
Please contact us with any questions. We hope that this information is helpful. Happy Fall.

Disappointing News from USCIS which will affect all pending applications for family based and employment based adjustment of status (except based on EB-1 First Preference) for the remainder of September. On September 15, the State Department informed the USCIS that visa numbers for all categories (except EB-1 First Preference) were reached, and so, starting September 16 and for the remainder of the fiscal year, no more visas were available. Fortunately, the fiscal year ends in less than 10 days. The new fiscal year begins October 1, 2010, and with that, applicants for adjustment of status whose priority dates are current may expect processing to resume on their cases. See our update earlier this month for visa availability numbers for the State Department’s October Visa Bulletin.
