    Cap Exempt Cases:

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on January 30, 2008 a new customer service initiative to streamline the adjudication of H-1B petitions.

    USCIS will employ a special unit dedicated to processing these types of H-1B cap exempt petitions at the USCIS California Service Center (CSC).

    Aliens employed by certain types of educational, nonprofit or governmental organizations, as defined below (normally referred to as “cap exempt,” aliens employed by such entities are not subject to the H-1B numerical limitations).

    See section 214(g)(5)(a) and (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); and 8 CFR 214.2 (h)(8)(A). H-1B “cap exempt” petitions, as referenced here, include petitions filed by:

    • Institutions of higher education, as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. 1001(a);
    • Nonprofit organizations or entities related to or affiliated with institutions of higher education; and
    • Nonprofit research organizations or governmental research organizations, as defined in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(C).

    Such institutions and organizations can indicate that their H-1B filing is cap exempt by marking Form I-129 (Petition of Non-Immigrant Worker) with a “yes” answer to questions 1, 2, or 3 in Part C of the H-1B Data Collection and Filing Fee Exemption Supplement (page 10).

    Filing address for these cap exempt H-1B cases is:

      U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
      California Service Center
      ATTN: CAP EXEMPT H-1B Processing Unit
      24000 Avila Road, Room 2312
      Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
