remove the H1B visa cap of 65,000, especially for STEM companies, when the full year quota was filled in few days

Created by M.B. on April 06, 2013

"The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on April 5th 2013 that it would no longer accept applications for the H-1B visas for the fiscal year 2014 and has reached the visa cap of 65,000,"

President Obama should act now remove the cap for H1B for fiscal 2014, especially for companies hiring in the STEM fields. This is one of the common sense solutions to help US economy and has overwhelming bipartisan support.

John Feinblatt Chairman of the Partnership for a New American Economy has said yesterday regarding H1B quota "If we want to stay competitive and thrive in the global marketplace, we need to make sure that our immigration laws fit the needs of our economy. Sitting still risks the world passing us by,"
