FY 2013 H-1B Cap Reached!
June 13, 2012
USCIS has announced that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap of 65,000 for fiscal year (FY) 2013. It has also notified that June 11, 2012, was the final receipt date for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY 2013. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date in FY 2013 that arrive after June 11, 2012. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap, DOD petitions and Chile/Singapore H-1B1 petitions requesting an employment start date in FY 2013. Employers (except cap-exempt organizations) desirous of filing new H-1B petitions will now have to wait until April 1, 2013 to be able to file again for a start date no sooner than October 1, 2013.
