USCIS Reaches FY 2014 H-1B Cap - 海外工作

Source: USCIS website -> News -> Alerts

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has
received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for
fiscal year (FY) 2014. USCIS has also received more than 20,000 H-1B
petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the advanced
degree exemption. After today, USCIS will not accept H-1B petitions subject
to the FY 2014 cap or the advanced degree exemption.

USCIS will use a computer-generated random selection process (commonly known
as the “lottery”) for all FY 2014 cap-subject petitions received through
April 5, 2013. The agency will conduct the selection process for advanced
degree exemption petitions first. All advanced degree petitions not selected
will be part of the random selection process for the 65,000 limit. Due to the
high number of petitions received, USCIS is not yet able to announce the
exact day of the random selection process. Also, USCIS is currently not
providing the total number of petitions received, as we continue to accept
filings today. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are
otherwise exempt from the cap.

USCIS will provide more detailed information about the H-1B cap next week.
