Get In Line: The Rush for H-1B Visas Is On

Michael Cooney writes on NetworkWorld:

With the deadline of April 2, filing for an H-1B visa is closing in experts say this year’s allotment of 65,000 slots will likely be exhausted in record time – time measured in days or weeks not months, as in years past.

And the agency that oversees the visas, the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS) has told the public that it will not accept any applications received earlier than April 2 and will reject those filed before the start date. This means people who planned on filing their petitions on Friday, March 30 with the USCIS to accept on March 31 will have their cases rejected, USCIS says.
