<p>The USCIS will accept H-1B visa applications starting April 2, 2007. These new visas will start on 10/1/2007. There are 65,000 H-1B regular visas available and it is anticipated that the visas available for 2008 will be gone quickly. Last year the quota of H-1B visas was closed in late May, but this year it is anticipated that the quota will close much sooner.</p>
