Update on Fiscal Year 2006 H-1B Numbers

Certain H-1B petition are subject to the Congressionally mandated cap.  The cap has been set to 65,000 per Fiscal Year.  The cap for Fiscal Year 2006 - which starts on October 1, 2005 - has not been reached. 

Unofficially, it has been indicated that petitions for FY 2006 have been coming in more slowly than previously predicted.  Even so, it is still believed that the 2006 cap will be reached before the actual start of FY 2006.
