The INS General Counsel has advised AILA that the Federal Register notice that the fiscal year 2000 H-1B cap has been reached will be published on Tuesday, March 21.Information regarding handling of pipeline cases should be available at that time.
AILA also was advised that INS has decided NOT to count any overissuances of H-1B numbers from fiscal 1999 against fiscal 2000 numbers, but cannot say at this time whether it might apply those excess issuances, if there are any, against future years.
