Immigration announces new rules for H-1B visas

USCIS has issued new rules regarding the procedures for filing H-1B visas. The rules would prohibit employers from filing multiple H-1B petitions for the same employee in order to ensure a fair and orderly distribution of available H-1B visas. Also, since it is anticipated that the 65,000 visa cap will be reached on the first day - April 1st, Immigration will accept H-1B visa petitions for the first 5 business days thru Monday, April 7th, and then conduct a lottery to determine which ones to accept.
