大家好，

If you are seeking H-1B status, this note may be important to you.  As you may know, many people who seek such status must deal with the "cap," that is, a limit (有限，或者配额）on the number of H-1B statuses that can be granted during a particular fiscal year.   

Through 9/9/2011, cap count is 
- regular: 32,200 petitions received (out of 65,000* maximum, or 49.5% full)
- master's exemption: 16,700 petitions received (out of 20,000 maximum, or 83.5% full)

These figures apply to fiscal year 2012, that is, the time period from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012.  However, keep in mind that 6,800 positions of the "regular" group are reserved for people from Chile and Singapore.

If you are seeking H-1B and you have a master's degree, you are elibile to receive status from either the "master's group" or the "regular group."  If you have a bachelor's degree, you may get status only from the regular group. http://www.uscis.gov/h-1b_count 
Thanks.
