On April 3, 2010, a NewsFlash on MurthyDotCom stated that the USCIS incorrectly issued receipt notices for some H1B FY2010 cap cases. Pursuant to new information announced by the USCIS during an April 8, 2009 teleconference call with the American Immigration Lawyers Association Liaison, the USCIS Service Center Operations team clarified that receipts previously issued remain valid in light of the fact that the H1B cap was not reached within the first five business days in April. This is a reversal of the USCIS's initial statements of April 3, 2010, when it was expected that receipt notices issued prior to April 8, 2009 would be withdrawn and that no one should rely on a receipt issued during this initial timeframe. We will continue to follow this and all other H1B cap issues and provide MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers with the most up-to-date information.
