Excerptions from one email I got from my Lawyer on April 11. "From USCIS: As of April 9, USCIS has determined that approximately 119,193 of the H-1B petitions received on April 2 and 3 are subject to the FY 2008 congressionally mandated cap. USCIS received on April 2 and 3 a total of approximately 12,989 cases requesting an exemption from the FY 2008 H-1B cap because they were filed on behalf of aliens holding a master's degree or higher from a U.S. institution. USCIS can now announce that the cap of 20,000 on these exempt cases remains open and that USCIS will continue to monitor these filings. USCIS will provide regular updates as the processing of FY 2008 H-1B cap cases continues' THAT MEANS THERE ARE STILL 7000 MAsters Quota.
