H1B US MASTERS DEGREE EXEMPTION CAP
REACHED!
The USCIS announced today that the FY 2008
H1b US Masters Degree Exemption Cap has been
reached as of 4/30/07. The general H1b quota cap was
reached on 4/2/07, but an additional 20,000 slots were
available for holders of masters degrees or higher from
US universities (i.e. the US Masters Cap).
The USCIS has stated that 4/30/07 is the 'final receipt
date.' All applications received on 4/30/07 will be subject
to a random selection process (i.e. lottery). Any
applications not chosen will be returned along with the
filing fees. Any applications received after 4/30/07 will be
rejected. Those filed prior to 4/30/07 will be processed
as usual & will not be subjected to the lottery.
H1bs in exempt categories can continue to be filed.
These include H1b extensions, H1b transfers (current
H1b holders switching employers), H1b amendments, &
eligible nonprofit H1b filings.
