It did not take long for the next H-1B emergency campaign to start. Within hours of the USCIS announcement on July 28, 2006 that all 20,000 cap-exempt H-1B numbers for advanced degree holders from American universities had been exhausted two days earlier, business and the immigration bar launched their most recent appeal for more numbers. The fact that the H-1B bachelor's level quotient for FY 2007 was already a distant and fading memory, a casualty of the hunger that took its toll before Memorial Day, some 12 weeks before the new fiscal year even began, doubtless added to the palpable sense of shock. This is the earliest that the cap has ever been reached. Desperate employers will have little choice but to outsource projects that cannot wait for H visa liberation day on October 1, 2007. Even a blind man can see that this limitation on H-1B visa numbers is out of sync with reality.
