H-1Bs Filing Period Begins

The H-1B visa filing period for the 2013 Federal fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2012, has begun.

Filing appear to be being received at about twice the level of those received last year. Last year, the H-1B visas were all used by November 22, 2011. That means that, if filings continue at their present pace, H-1B visas will run out before October 1st, and may run out as early as August, 2012.

Employers wishing to file H-1B visas petitions for the 2013 Federal fiscal year need to file their petitions immediately in order to maximize the chances that a visa will be available for their employees.

Counts as of May 11, 2012:
  Cap Subject: 36,700 56.5%
  Adv. Degree: 14,800 74.0%
