CIS: NO SPIKE IN H-1 FILINGS

 

The CIS' Service Center Operations division reports that it has not seen a spike in H-1 filings since April 1, 2004. This contradicts several unsubstantiated internet-based postings, which claim that FY2005 cap-subject H-1 cases are being filed in record amounts. While the CIS failed to produce precise numbers, a CIS representative reported that the number of FY2005 H-1 filings was "surprisingly low." April 1, 2004 was the first date that Fiscal Year 2005 (FY2005) cap-subject H-1 cases were permitted to be filed.
