H-1B Cap Exhausted 11/22/2011

Teaser: 

On January 26, 2011 the H-1B cap was met and no further H-1B numbers are available for fiscal year 2011. Petitioners may file cases for the 2012 fiscal year cap starting April 1, 2011.
 

USCIS confirmed that the H-1B cap was reached on November 22, 2011.  The H-1B visa, created through the Immigration Act of 1990 became a staple of the tech industry in the early oughts.  Studying the demand and speed of consumption of H-1B visa numbers gives insights into long term trends in US job markets from offshore labor to real demand for IT workers.
