H-1B Numbers Closing In On Annual Cap

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has announced that H-1B filings for the fiscal year are increasing and that only a tad over 10,000 H-1B visa slots remain available for the current fiscal year. The annual cap is 65,000 for normal H-1B visas. H-1B visa filings had remained steady at around 40,000 to 45,000 – however, over the last few months the numbers have increased. Those thinking of utilizing the h-1b visa should take notice and ensure they file soon.
