发帖数: 29846 | 1 USCIS Reaches FY 2014 H-1B Cap
Released April 8, 2013
WASHINGTON—For the first time since 2008, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) has reached the statutory H-1B cap of 65,000 for fiscal
year (FY) 2014 within the first week of the filing period. USCIS has also
received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt
from the cap under the advanced degree exemption.
USCIS received approximately 124,000 H-1B petitions during the filing period
, including petitions filed for the advanced degree exemption. On April 7,
2013, USCIS used a computer-generated random selection process (commonly
known as a “lottery”) to select a sufficient number of petitions needed to
meet the caps of 65,000 for the general category and 20,000 under the
advanced degree exemption limit. For cap-subject petitions not randomly
selected, USCIS will reject and return the petition with filing fees, unless
it is found to be a duplicate filing.
The agency conducted the selection process for advanced degree exemption
petitions first. All advanced degree petitions not selected were part of the
random selection process for the 65,000 limit.
As announced on March 15, 2013, USCIS has temporarily adjusted its premium
processing practice. To facilitate the prioritized data entry of cap-subject
petitions requesting premium processing, USCIS will begin premium
processing for H-1B cap cases on April 15, 2013. For more information on
premium processing for FY 2014 cap-subject petitions, please see the related
USCIS Alert.
USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise
exempt from the cap. Petitions filed on behalf of current H-1B workers who
have been counted previously against the cap will not be counted towards the
congressionally-mandated FY 2014 H-1B cap.
Accordingly, USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions filed to:
extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the U.S.;
change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;
allow current H-1B workers to change employers; and
allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in a second H-1B
position.
U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty
occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized
fields including, but not limited to: scientists, engineers, or computer
programmers. | m********a
