Closing Date for FY2010

The rate of filings for FY2010 is far different from that of the past couple of years. Thus, as of this writing, there are sufficient H1B cap numbers available. Also playing into the availability of cap numbers is the increased scrutiny of H1B petitions, particularly those filed by IT consulting companies. This has resulted in higher rates of denials and a general chilling effect on those companies that might otherwise file additional H1B petitions. If the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not receive enough approvable H1B petitions to exhaust the regular H1B cap for 2010, it will continue to accept H1B petitions against this cap until the end of the FY2010 which will be September 30, 2010.
