USCIS Update – 2023 H1B Cap Reached
On August 23, 2022, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced they have received enough H1B petitions to meet the H1B Visa Cap.
What is the H-1B Cap Gap Extension and do I qualify?
In some cases, an F-1 Student’s status and employment authorization expire before the H-1B visa can be issued on Oct. 1. This creates a gap between the expiration of the F-1 status and the beginning of the H-1B visa status. Qualifying F-1 students with a gap before the start of their H-1B visa are allowed to remain in F-1 status under the “H-1B Cap-Gap Extension.” See if you qualify for the H-1B Cap-Gap extension.
