H-1B EXHAUSTION TARGET - FEBRUARY 19, 2011

By Greg Siskind

11,100 H-1B visas remain of the 65,000 quota with 1500 more claimed over the last week. That's a moderate increase from the roughly 1200 used weekly over the last month. I'm pushing my exhaustion target up a week. The master's cap of 20,000 will be reached sometime this week, almost exactly the date I predicted several months ago. The 400 visas claimed weekly in this category will presumably shift to the general H-1B cap and that could accelerate depletion of those visas. That being the case, we could very well see the cap reached next month.
