AILA Recognizes H-1B Cap Reached; Recommends Changes to System

by Kellie N. Lego

WASHINGTON, DC – The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) commented on Wednesday’s announcement from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap of 65,000 visas for fiscal year 2012 since the filing window opened on April 1st this year.

“During a time when job creation is the nation’s number one priority, why are we still fiddling around with an outmoded quota system that ignores the importance of immigrants to the economic engine?” said AILA President Eleanor Pelta.

“The marketplace dictates the pace and type of demand by business for specialized workers. To be more competitive globally, we really should be smarter about our high skilled visa distribution so that it is related to market needs instead of pinned to a static limit that was determined by Congress in the last decade,” continued Pelta. “Congress needs to be working on ways to make the visa system work for fueling the economy. The status quo is no longer acceptable.”
