05/06/2011 - H-1B Cap Count Update
Current count:
General cap: 10,200 out of 58,200 available (6,800 of the 65,000 total are reserved by treaty for citizens of Singapore and Chile)
U.S. Master’s degree cap: 7,300 out of 20,000.
Bottom Line:
Continued slow usage, though with something of a bump from the last count this time.
Who Should Care:
U.S. employers with personnel requirements for highly educated workers, foreign nationals seeking initial H-1Bs.
