however nurses are not subject to the cap at all. indeed fasttracked I believe once they have all their ducks in a row (RG will surely correct me if I am wrong)
the H visa quota went down from 65,000 to 56,000

...which is pretty bloody lucky, or we'd all be out of here no our respective ears!
I still can't believe that I was blissfully unaware of all this H1-B cap business when I got mine just last year. Just a couple of months later, and I wouldn't have got one that year. Just a year later, and I'd be caught up in all this race-to-apply-before-the-cap-is-reached nightmare!
