H-1B Visas for Fiscal Year 2010 Remaining as of December 10, 2009

Approximately 62,500 cap-subject H-1B visas have been filed. Given that the annual quota of cap-subject H-1B visas is 65,000 and 6,800 of those are shared for H-1B1 visas, there remain less than 2, 500 cap-subject H-1B visas for fiscal year 2010. H-1B annual quotas do not impact cap-exempt positions, H-1B extensions, and petitions for change of employers. The Chander Law Firm recommends that businesses interested in petitioning for foreign workers under the fiscal year 2010 H-1B cap file as soon as possible.
