The fiscal year cap (numerical limitation on H-1B petitions) for FY 2011 is 65,000. In addition, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals who have earned a U.S. master's degree or higher are exempt from the H-1B cap.
U.S. businesses utilize the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require attainment of at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent, and theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields, such as scientists, engineers, or computer programmers.via Advertisements
