 USCIS has received 10,200 Cap-Subject petitions
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is now reporting the current H-1B Cap Count as of May 6, 2011.
10,200 Cap-Subject petitions have been received by USCIS for the 2012 Fiscal Year H-1B quota. 7,300 petitions that qualify for the U.S. Master's Exemption have also been received.
USCIS began accepting petitions for the following Fiscal Year's quota on April 1st. Although many of these petitions will be approved over the next few months, these visas cannot be issued until October 1st, the beginning of the government's Fiscal Year.
In the past, the quota for H-1B visas was exhausted on April 1st, but that has not been the case for the last couple of years. In FY 2011, the cap was not reached until mid-January 2011.
