During this time of anticipated comprehensive immigration reform, a bipartisan group of Senators known as the Senate “Gang of Eight” is reportedly nearing completion on a proposal for comprehensive immigration reform in 2013.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2014. USCIS has also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the advanced degree exemption. After today, USCIS will not accept H-1B petitions subject to the FY 2014 cap or the advanced degree exemption.
