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.
