| |  H1B Cap Update - Attorney Murthy Posted Mar 18, 1999 The Law Office of Sheela Murthy contacted the American Immigration Lawyers Association on Thursday, March 18, 1999 to inquire about the status of the H1B cap. AILA informed us that as of February 28, 1999, only 80,983 had been used. Approximately, 10,000 H1B Petitions have been approved each month during the last few months. They believe that 35,000 H1B Petitions are pending with INS and accordingly, those waiting to file should do so promptly. The Law Office of Sheela Murthy will continue to provide updates as we receive them from official sources. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.  | |
