Newsflash : The H1B Cap Has Been Reached

The USCIS announced on February 17, 2004, that the H1B Cap has been

reached for fiscal year (FY) 2004. All petitions that fall

under the cap that are received after the close of business

on February 17, 2004, will be rejected. This means that all fees

will be returned, along with the petitions. The USCIS will begin

accepting cases that will fall under the FY2005 cap on April 1, 2004.

These applications should request a start date of October 1, 2004,

or later.

We will provide a more in-depth analysis of how this announcement

affects students and others in our February 20, 2004 edition

of the Murthy- Bulletin. This article will also be made available

on MurthyDotCom. As a reminder, not all cases are subject to the cap.

See our September 12, 2003, article, H1B Cap for Fiscal Year 2004 for

more details on who is subject to the cap.

많은 분들이 아직 질문들을 하고 계십니다만, 연장은 이 Capa에 해당되지 않습니다.

물론, 학교 등의 비영리 기관에서의 신청도 이 Capa와는 무관합니다.
