For people around the world that want, and, for people in the USA that need an H1B visa from this years 2011 H1B quota: because there is a fixed quota system (limited availability each year) , many of the regular and largest H1B employers and sponsor companies in the USA start recruiting and selecting from January. This helps them eliminate traditional sponsorship risks, allows sufficient time to find and sponsor the best candidates, and makes sure they are fully prepared and ready to file applications early (which safeguards and helps ensure they get issued visas first)
The H1B Cap / Quota system is only for new / first time H1B visa applications
- H1B Transfers are NOT counted towards the annual Cap / quota numbers
- H1B Extensions and Renewals are NOT counted towards the annual Cap / quota numbers
- 'New' H1B visas can also be filed and counted towards the Cap-Exempt H1B Visa Program
* For the above: visas applications can be filed at any time of year and there are no restrictions or quota limitations on the number of visas that can be filed
