As of November 27, 2009, USCIS says 58,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions have been filed against the total cap of 65,000. USCIS also says it has approved sufficient H-1B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H-1B petition filed on behalf of a worker with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H-1B cap of 65,000.
USCIS is continuing to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions has been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
