As many HR managers know the H-1B cap season is quickly approaching.

The cap season begins on April 1, 2014 and will run until the cap is reached. The time that it takes to reach the cap can range from anywhere between a few days to a few weeks. The cap for fiscal year 2014 [was reached by](http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/h-1b-specialty-occupations-and-fashion-models/h-1b-fiscal-year-fy-2014-cap-season) April 5, 2013.

Each year, a total of 65,000 H-1B visas are allowed be issued for individuals with an U.S. Bachelor's degree or a foreign equivalent. An additional 20,000 are allowed for individuals with advanced U.S. degrees. Last year, the USCIS received 124,000 applications during the filing season.

Given this information we want to make sure that we provide as much insight as possible into this visa.

In addition to an overview of the [H-1B visa](https://info.envoyglobal.com/h-1b-work-visa-video-tutorial/) we have produced a series of frequently asked questions that we often hear from our clients.
