What happens to H-1B petitions that are currently pending?
All petitions received by INS as of March 21, 2000 will be adjudicated in the order they were received. They will not be returned. INS will continue to record approved petitions towards the cap until it reaches 115,000. After that, INS will still adjudicate the remaining petitions it has received. Those that are approved will be given validity dates of October 1, 2000 and will be counted towards the FY 2001 cap of 107,500.
