USCIS WILL REVERT TO SENDING I-797 APPROVAL NOTICES TO ATTORNEYS
October 26, 2011 by Bradley Maged.
The USCIS has reverted to of sending I-797 H-1B approval notices to the attorneys of record (as indicated on the Form G-28) rather than to petitioning companies or organizations. For the past year or so the agency has been sending these notices which often include original I-94 Records directly to companies that would often need to contact their attorneys to clarify what to do with the document. This is a welcome step back.

H-1B CAP COUNT (10/21/2011)
October 26, 2011 by Bradley Maged.
According to the USCIS, as of October 14, 2011, the agency had
received 46,200 out of 65,000 available cap-subject H-1B petitions for
FY-2012 and 20,000 out of 20,000 available petitions under the H-1B
Master’s Cap Exemption.
When the Master’s Cap Exemption has been exhausted, petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries with Master’s or higher degrees from US universities will be counted towards the general 65,000 H-1B limit for the fiscal year.
If you are a cap-subject organization that wishes to file an H-1B on behalf of a qualified foreign-national, this would be a good time to do it. As the numbers get closer to becoming exhausted those on the fence tend to file in greater numbers so the cap may be reached in the next several weeks.
