以下为截至6月2号为止的20,000个H-1B的名额统计数据。由于USCIS未来得及把所有申请数据输入其系统当中,所以USCIS已经接收的H-1B申请实际要高于公布数据。在这里,我们建议有意申请20,000 H-1B的人士应尽早提出其申请。 As our readers are aware, the 65,000 regular H1B cap has been exhausted for the 2007 fiscal year. However, USCIS has released updated figures for the 20,000 Advanced Degree Cap. These visas are reserved for foreign workers with a Master’s or higher level degree from a U.S. academic institution. Cap Beneficiaries Approved Beneficiaries Pending Beneficiary Target 1 Total Date of Last Count H-1B Advance Degree Exemption 20,000 1,901 4,698 21,000 6,599 6/2/2006 Please note that like the regular cap numbers, these figures are likely lower than the actual number of petitions received by USCIS because of a delay between receipt of the petition and their input into the system. As such, although the current count is below 7000, in actuality the number may be several thousand higher. If you intend on becoming an H1B visa holder in the fiscal year 2007, you must apply now before the numbers are exhausted. 本文由范毅禹律师事务所提供 本律师事务所精办各类劳工应聘及专业移民申请 (包括H-1,L-1,EB-1,EB-2,NIW,劳工卡,绿卡等申请)。所有申请由多位美籍律师及拥有15年经验的范毅禹律师亲自处理,我所并特设中英移民网站。内有最新移民新闻资讯及由律师主持的移民问答集,欢迎读者流览查询。 www.fan-law.com (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
