H-1B Cap Reached in less than a week

See e.g. http://www.uscis.gov/news/uscis-reaches-fy-2015-h-1b-cap, indicating that businesses seeking highly skilled workers for professional positions requiring a bachelor's degree or higher took less than a week to snap up all 85,000 visas available for next year.


The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Monday that the cap on H-1B visas for the 2015 fiscal year had already been reached.


It's no surprise that the cap was reached quickly. That's happened repeatedly in recent years and is a key issue that highlights the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
