H1B Program Quota Use Expected to be Tight
The 2008 H1B Program will begin accepting new applications on 4/1/2007. However, 4/1/2007 falls on a Sunday and therefore 4/2/2007 is the earliest date that new applications can be filed. Immigration professionals predict that the quota for 2008 could be used up very fast, possibly within a few days. Although it is impossible to be certain when the quota will be exhausted this year, it is wise for employers to file their H1B petitions as soon as possible.
