Possible News on the H1B 2013 Cap.

It has been reported that by Firstpost.com and also by some AILA members that there was 50,000 H1B cases submitted on the first day of April 1, 2013.

Washington: The US received nearly 50,000 packages of H-1B visa applications on the very first day, a media report has said, which is reflective of the sudden surge in demand of the country’s most sought after work visas for the IT professionals.

The USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), officially, has not come out on the number of H-1B applications received by it since April 1 when it started accepting petitions for it for the fiscal 2014 beginning
October 1, 2013.

If this news is true, it seems that we are preparing for a selection process also know as the H1B lottery 2013. It is important to note we have not had any official information from the USCIS to confirm this. However, based on our experience there are ample reasons to believe this might be true.

However, we will not discourage anybody from continuing their application. For more more information call us at 510 742 5887.
