[Previous entry: "Special Registration Has NOT Ended"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Visa Bulletin for January 2004"] 12/17/2003 Entry: "USCIS Confirms That the H-1B Cap Has Not Been Reached" In reply to AILA-USCIS Liaison Chair, William R. Yates, Deputy Director, Citizenship and Immigration Services stated that the H-1b cap has not been reached and does not expect it to be reached until this spring. In response to reports that the H-1B cap is near being exhausted, AILA-USCIS Liaison Chair Bob Deasy contacted William R. Yates, Deputy Director, Citizenship and Immigration Services, for clarification. Here is an abstract of Mr. Yates' reply: "We are not near the cap at this time. As I stated last week we will release information at the end of January regarding where we stand and at that time will decide whether we need to notify customers of a projected "cap date." Of course it is theoretically possible that we could reach the cap by the end of the calendar year but we would have to receive record levels of filings... I still believe that we will hit the cap this spring, but I won't be more specific until I see the numbers in January." Posted on AILA InfoNet at Doc. No. 03121641 (Dec. 16, 2003) .
