USCIS has indicated that 22,323 cap-subject H-1B petitions had been received as of April 4, 2012.
Approximately one quarter (1/4) of these cases are for advanced degrees. According to USCIS, the number of filings received is almost double the number of filings received by USCIS during the same time last year. It would appear that H-1B numbers are likely to get exhausted a lot earlier than last year. Therefore, it is advisable to submit any quota subject cases as soon as possible to ensure timely filings before the quota is reached.
