Poll Results – H1B Quota 2010 Forecast
By HSB
For last 1 week here at HSB we ran a poll to find how many H1B Visa 2010 petitions will be submitted during first 5 businesses days on April 2009. We had total of 293 votes. Looks like most of them believe General Quota of 65,000 and Advanced Degree Cap of 20,000 will not be filled in first 5 days after USCIS begins to accept H1B Visa petitions for FY 2010 from April 1, 2009.

USCIS expects H1B Cap will be meet much before October 1, 2009, but not sure when it will be filled. That’s why they suggested to have mini lottery if need arises. You can read the latest update from USCIS about possibility running mini-lottery to select H1B Visa 2010 Petitions if above poll results were to hold true.

Interesting results. However, can someone please explain what happens if the quota isn’t met in the first week?
Does everyone have to wait on the status of their petitions until the quote is reached? Or, come April 8, would everyone who applied get a visa granted subject to interview etc?
Dear Larry,
The question has its answer in iteself. The petiions are to be filed in the first five days starting from Ist April,09 for FY2010 starting from October,09 and if the magic number of 65000 and 20000 does not reach in the first five days, it is but natural that everybody who will be applying getting approved his H1b petiion subject to their eligibility and the remaining quota shall be filled upto October,09 on first come first serve basis till the same reaches to its magic completeion number. Any how, I would say that every body who will be getting through would be lucy person since this position of recession shall not remain for ever.
