It's Not Too Late to File Your H-1B Cap Petition for Fiscal Year 2010

By Robert Kraft

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that they are still accepting H-1B petitions for the fiscal year 2010. USCIS began accepting H-1B cap petitions subject to the cap on April 1. After five days, almost half of the 65,000 cap for fiscal year 2010 have been received. USCIS grants 65,000 H-1B visas per fiscal year, with certain exceptions. When sufficient petitions have been received, a random lottery selection is conducted. U.S. employers file H-1B petitions for foreign workers in a specialty occupation that require a theoretical or practical expertise in fields requiring a bachelor's degree or higher or its equivalent, such as scientists, engineers, or computer programmers. It is not too late to file your H-1B petition for fiscal year 2010!
