Hi, My employer filed my h1 in master cap and sent application on june 6th..USCIS said master cap closed on june 7th but i think my application reached on june 8th …
I have following question plz help me ASAP….
1. if master quota filled so i automatically transferred to the general quota which closed on june 11th?
or
2. they are telling that they still accept application for exempt application so i m that?
or
3. they wont consider my application?
Man, I spent 30 minutes answering your question as a blog post, you are posting the same question again? Why don’t you read the latest post?
HSB, can you send me a link to your blog. thanks
@ SS
correct i am wrong . how did you post this comment and link to blog. are you kidding??
USCIS continues to accept petitions exempted from the cap and DOD cooperative research worker H-1B petitions……
What are the exact meaning of petitions exempted from the cap? Does that mean it will still receive the petitions for master degree holder and do the lottery thing?
exempt from cap and DOD menas not for profit organization- visa does not fall under cap quota of 65000+20000
Huh, Ankit , please deposit $100. .
These blog WAS really AWESOME..
But now it looks full of Advertisment. More Ad’s than Valuable information. Even newsletter of HSB has loads of external Ads link…
shit.. HSB is moving towards
Ankit – I have 2 options.
1) Convert the site to paid site without ads.
2) Run ads on the site and provide free info.
What do you think I should do?
It takes lot of time and effort and expense to run a site.
Hi HSB,
I dont think it is anyone’s business to complain like this. Also you dont need to provide any explanation.
Keep spreading good information and keep generating nice revenue. I guess that is be best business model.
I am sorry , but I guess you are earning quite well now in your job.. u no more a student..
Anyways , may b i am no one to comment on such stuff..
BUT, sincere thanks for your Articles and valuable information on these sites.. which helped me a lot…
i totally agree with ankit and i see hsb’s point too.
i have just stopped reading hsb, but hsb helped me a lot when i needed it thats why i am still subscribed to it.
is there any way we can still file H1b visa? my LCA is still pending to be approved:(
Nisha,
No unfortunately the cap has been reached for this year. The only way you can get a H1B without waiting October 2013 is to work for a non-profit organization or university.
