Number of applications for FY 2009 H-1B

USCIS just released the preliminary number for FY 2009 H-1B applications.

Press release

There are 31200 applications for H-1B advanced degree, and 163000 total applications. So if you are applying for H-1B advanced degree, chances are still pretty good (over 70%) that you can get H-1B visa, otherwise if you are in the STEM fields, better luck next year.
