H1B Quota Not Filled - We Are Still Accepting New Cases!

In FY-2009, U.S.C.I.S. received approximately 163,000 petitions for the approximate 85,000 openings. This year, during the five business day acceptance period, it received approximately 62,000 petitions (based on its 4/9/09 update that it had received approximately 42,000 H-1B petitions counting towards the 65,000 cap, and approximately 20,000 for aliens with advanced degrees towards the 20,000 U.S. master's cap). This means that the agency only received about 38% of last year's submissions; that the cap is only about 73% filled; and that approximately 23,000 open slots still remain for new cap petitions.

Any H-1B cap petition filed within the next month has an excellent chance of capturing an H-1B number for FY-2010.

I trust you know how much all of us at the Spreckels Organ Society appreciate your incredible generosity in providing legal assistance with the visas required by the international artists last year during our International Summer Organ Festival. We consider it an honor that you and your firm provided this service, and were delighted to publicize your firm in our concert materials. George H.

That's good news on the approval of our 3 executive L1A visas. You fought a tough RFE, but we won. We are pleased to be working with you. KB is also bringing passports tomorrow again to the US Embassy in Tashkent for visa processing. We look forward to his arrival to the US. Sarvar

I wanted to thank again and again for obtaining my E1 Treaty Trader visa for me. The process was not easy, especially since our trade was all based on Technology. You knew the law, and was able to craft an outstanding file to be presented to Immigration. We are now ready to take the business to the next level. Toda Raba

Thanks for helping me with my marriage-based immigration case. You were very accessible - taking my calls, returning my messages and emails promptly. You answered all my questions. I was most impressed and relieved that you attended the immigration interview with me and my wife. You made the whole process streamline and simple. You really know your stuff, and you're a nice, friendly guy as well. Shane P.
