H1B Cap Count Table [ Updated ]
As of October 25, 2009, approximately 52,800 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. 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to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
Via USCIS.

Hello,
My employer had filed h1-b petition in April 2009. I got denial notice is July. Now my employer is saying that he is going to file my application again now for the 2009 quota itself. Can an employer file the H1B petition for the same employee twice in the same year after the first application is rejected? Pleas clarify.
thanks
