Guys,
This is what my lawyer says:

Attendees of an AILA conference in Las Vegas were given an H-1B update from the USCIS Associate Director for Domestic Operations, Michael Aytes.
The H-1B random number generator is being run today, April 12, 2007 for non-U.S. Master's degree cap subject H-1B petitions.
Adjudication of chosen petitions will begin tomorrow, April 13, 2007.

I hope we all will get it. Good Luck.

Wait a second.....i thought they havent received enough Masters application yet.. so why there would be random number generation for masters/??? or am i misunderstanding it??? please verify......

It says non-US Master's = people without master's degree

Anyways,good luck to me!

problems101, did you apply with Masters or undergrad degree?? can you please confirm with your lawyer that it is for the undergrad??? will really appreciate it...
thanks

Lahurey,
Non-US masters degree should imply Masters degree from the country other than US, I guess. It should not necessarily be People without Master's degree.

You think so huh?

It's my speculation as everybody else's at this moment.

Nope pale dai... that Masters quota is specifically from Masters degree from US universities......... sooo u cant apply for h1 under masters from any other colleges' degree but US ko!!! malai ta undergrad to chinta laagiraa chha... k hune ho...

How many Masters Quota have been filled til now? Can anyone please answer.

Thanks

As of April 10,2007 this was the status

"USCIS received on April 2 and 3 a total of approximately 12,989 cases requesting an exemption from the FY
2008 H-1B cap because they were filed on behalf of aliens holding a master’s degree or higher from a U.S.
institution. USCIS can now announce that the cap of 20,000 on these exempt cases remains open and that
USCIS will continue to monitor these filings."

Thanks for the information lahurey. Appreciate it.
