USCIS just announced that the FY 2009 H-1B cap has been reached after only 7 days. What is surprising is that even the additional 20000 quota reserved for people with advanced degrees (MS/PhD) from US universities has also been reached. Consider that these 20000 quota didn't get used up until 4/30/07 last year, this is bad news for us since we now face lottery as well. My application was submitted on 4/3, hopefully I can get it this year, else it's a pain to continue trying for H-1B even with the OPT extension.
