有关H-1B名额的最新情况

以下为截至6月20日的20,000 H-1B 名额统计，以供大家参考。由于统计数字只包括已经输入系统的申请，实际上USCIS已经收到的H-1B申请远比统计数字要多，因此我们建议申请人应尽早提交其H-1B 申请，以防名额用完而错过今年申请。 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 3,311 6,950 21,000 10,261 6/20/2006 The numbers on the chart for H-1B Advanced Degree Exemption include only receipted petitions. As of 6/20/06, USCIS has identified 500 additional I-129 H-1B petitions seeking the Advanced Degree exemption and another 1,800 I-129 petitions yet to be sorted. This means that the numbers on the chart do not represent the full total of H1B Advanced Degree Exemption petitions received – the actual numbers are 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.
