USCIS kept on updating the total number of cases received for H-1B for FY 2009-10. However, the recent USCIS H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap count indicates decline in number of cases than what had been previously reported. The updated count reports the receipt of 44,400 ‘Regular’ cap cases, by June 12, 2009 which is lesser than the prior count of 47,700, given as of May 22, 2009. There is no explanation too from USCIS for this decline in trend. Thus, this reduced number may reflect either withdrawals by employers, denials by the USCIS, duplicate filings, or an error in the prior cap counts.
As of this writing, both the Advanced Degree and Regular caps remain open. We will continue to provide updated H-1B cap count information.

USCIS financial loss:
cap : 65000 (minus chile, singapore 6800) = 58200
cap count : 47,700 (max) , 44,400 (min)
H1B filing fees: 2320 USD per application
shortfall : 24,360,000 (min) , 32,016,000 (max)
Assuming 15% premium processing 1000*1000 = 1,000,000
Total shortfall for new applications : 25 million USD. (min)
Also since I have 2 year EAD now, I may not renew my H1 this november. I am sure, L1, H1 extensions etc are having similar revenue impact.

Hi
My wife is on a H4 visa. Her visa is going to expire june 2010... she has to go to India later this month on a very urgent work....
So is it advisable to go considering the scrutiny at port of entry nowadays ???
FYI she will be travelling by herself...
Yes she can go as she has valid visa to come back. Let her carry your approval notice, recent employement letter and recent pay stub ... just in case they ask at POE. I don't think you should lose sleep over it. So what if there is additional scrutiny? If she hasn't done any wrong she should be alright.

hello folks..
I was on H1.. but i quit my job and i am currently enrolled as a Full time student.
I need to go to Mexico as part of my Study program....
I have received the change of status from USCIS..but i need to get my passport stamped..
I have not been successful in getting an appointment in Canada....
>>is there a wait time in any canadian consulates...for more than 2-3 days????
>> Can i go to mexico and get the visa stamped during my stay there..is it risky???
inputs Pleaseeeee..
i am not sure you can get an F1 stamp in either Mexico or Canada. You can only get an F1 stamp in these countries if you already have an F1 stamp, but it expired and you did not hold any other non-immigrant status in the interim.

My I-485/I-140 were filed on Jul 2, 2007 (I-140 approved in 9/2007). I possess an EAD valid till Sep 2010 and AP valid till Aug 2009. I lost my job (H1B) in late January. I have a family emergency compelling me to travel to India for a week (starting Saturday next week 04/04/2009). Will there be any problem in terms of using my AP to re-enter the U.S? An early reply would be appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.
P.S: I do not have a job yet.

I am curious of the average networth of H1Bs excluding their parent's money. The money they just made so far. Not sure how to start a new thread. I read somewhere online there are lot of H1Bs who are working for 10 years are almost millionaires. Can they use their accumulated wealth to do an investment based green card.
An individuals income and their net worth is their personal information. I don't think you will get more info on this (that too in a public forum).

Is it possible to convert or interfile an existing EB based I-485 application to FB based I-485?
I have pending I-485 through an approved I-140 (EB). PD is not current. I recently got married and my spouse is a US Citizen. We are considering pursueing FB application. Reading through the forums I gather that my spouse has to file I-130 and I file for I-485. My question is regarding I-485.
If I have to file for a new I-485, what happens to the existing one? Do I have to get new medical exam? Can I use existing AP, EAD or can I use EAD/AP that I currently have from my EB based application?
If an interfiling is possible, when should this be done - concurrently along with I-130 filing or we have to wait till I-130 is approved? Also what is the procedure for "interfiling"?
Which option is better?
I think you need not file any new 485 based on the approval of I-130. Once the I-130 is approved, you need to notify the USCIS (where your 485 is pending) that your new I-130 will be the underlying approved immigration petition for the pending 485. Perhaps, some lawyers may answer for the exact procedure to do that.

...if you do not have a valid-unexpired stamped US visa.
Does anyone know if I require a transit visa if traveling to India via Canada by Lufthansa.
I have a AP, used to have a Canadian visit visa which expired in Dec 2010.
I have traveled on AP via Dubai using United and did not have a issue.
I am traveling next weekend, I will appreciate your reply.

Even if your status changed to H1 in October 2004 and you started working in November 2004 for a second employer following approval for that employer, I would say it is just 30days and would not be an issue in future GC application. Don't worry about it.
