Annual H-1B Cap for 2012 Has Been Reached Before Thanksgiving

December 12, 2011

This article relates the news that the annual H-1B immigration visa cap for 2012 was reached on November 23, 2011.  The article also highlights an important implication of this news--the speed of reaching the H-1B cap has traditionally been an indicator of the economy's strength, when compared with prior years' speeds; because the cap was reached more quickly for 2012 visas than for 2010 or 2011 visas, this provides an indicator of a strengthening economic recovery.
