163,000 Applications for FY2009

Thursday, April 10, 2008

Just a while ago we have received communication that USCIS has received about 163,000 H-1B Visa applications for FY2009. Of these 31,200 applications were from Graduates holding Masters Degree & above. The quota limit for general H1b cases is 65,000 and there are an additional 20,000 slots available for individuals who have obtained a Masters degree or higher from a US university.

The USCIS has announced that it expects to conduct the H1B lottery next week. A lottery for the US Masters/Advanced Degree H-1B cases will be run first and then any Masters / Advanced Degree cases not chosen in that lottery will be added to the general H1B lottery.
