USCIS最近公布了截至到2006年4月3日H-1B名额的情况。据USCIS解释，所公布的数字是包括去年一些仍在审理的案件，而不少人推测今年名额的使用速度可能会比去年更快(去年8月名额用完) 。
The USCIS has released its most current numbers for the H1B count. According to USCIS, these numbers are tracking the numbers from last year so far, but many anticipate the cap being exhausted earlier than last year’s August close date.
