H-1B Cap – No Update Expected Until Next Week

As USCIS continues to accept H-1B petitions for filing through Friday, April 5^th, it is unlikely we will have any indication of the numbers received and/or whether the quota was reached causing petitions to go into a lottery system until early next week.  Conflicting predictions abound, and USCIS has fueled the fire by offering its own recent prediction that the cap would be reached within the first week – perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy.  See here for future updates.
