<p>The USCIS announced that H-1B visas are still available. As of this date, about 45,000 of the the 65,000 available annual visas were subscribed. This is quite a constrast to last year when all 65,000 were subscribed in the first week. Therefore, about 20,000 visas are still available. The troubled US economy is probably the reason that there is less demand for H visas this year.</p>
