Today USCIS issued an emailed press release indicating that it would continue to accept H-1B petitions subject to the 2011 cap. USCIS announced that they had received approximately 13,500 H-1B petitions counting towards the 65,000 cap and only 5,600 petitions for individuals with advanced degrees.
Klasko Law will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates regarding how many H-1B spots continue to remain.
