As of July 10, 2009, approximately 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
H1-B Visa for Nurses is the only hope for nurses right now who have completed their requirements.
I have a pending EB3 petition from New York. I have completed all the requirements but due to retrogression, it is on hold. What is this all about H1B for nurses. Since there is no visa for nurses, how many extension will H1B visa holders requests, or will they not be send back to their country if after many extensions made and still there is no visa. Just asking. Thank you.
