The USCIS released the latest count on H1B cap. In the past 3 days, more than 3000 visas have been used, with a pace of more than 1000/day. Based on the current pace of filing reported by USCIS, we predict that the standard H1B cap could be met in late June, and the master and above degree cap could be met in September 2006. Please refer to the following table for details of the report.
