主要H1B並沒有真正運用在給所有在美的留學生使用

USCIS announced today that it received approximately 150,000 cap-subject H-1B cases against the congressionally mandated cap of 65,000 H-1Bs for FY 2008. Therefore, it must now go through a "lottery" process to randomly select which cases will actually be accepted for processing. In accordance with regulations, the random selection process will include cases received on April 2nd and April 3rd, even though USCIS received enough cases to reach the cap on April 2nd. Given the volume of filings received, USCIS expects the random selection process to take "several weeks."
USCIS is unable at this time to determine how many petitions were filed against the additional 20,000 H-1Bs reserved for beneficiaries who hold a US Master's or Ph.D. degree. It is entirely possible that the US Master's or Ph.D. degree cap has yet to be reached since the source for these candidates (i.e., US universities) does not materially change from year to year. Therefore, as the receipt cut-off date has yet to be assessed for this category, employers should continue filing these as needed, and clearly note on the petition that the case involves a US Master's or Ph.D. degree holder.

碩士以上學位H1B名額還余7千左右

移民局於4月10日宣佈20,000個供美國碩士以上學位者申請的H-1B名額還沒有用完。4月2日和3日兩天移民局一共收到了12,989個碩士以上學位的H-1B申請。移民局承諾及時通告名額使用情況。
