If you are working in Ohio on OPT or finishing up your graduate studies, and were hoping to get in under the H-1B cap to start working on October 1, 2012 (the 2013 fiscal year), you are out of luck. USCIS announded that the annual limit for H-1B petitions was reached as of June 11, 2012. Any cap-subject petitions received after that date will be rejected. Even though you might have missed the H-1B cap, you still have options. Ohio H-1B lawyer's recent blog article about other visa options in lieu of the H-1B visa.

Guidance for H-1B Cap Gap Issues in Upcoming H-1B Cap Season
Get ready employers, the H-1B cap season is right around the corner! As an immigration lawyer in Columbus, Ohio I would like to provide this update to H-1B employers. In anticipation of the upcoming H-1B cap season, which begins on April 1, 2012, this article discusses what an H-1B candidate currently on OPT or in F-1 status can expect when his/her OPT expires during the summer.
This article outlines the H-1B cap gap rules and provides some guidance for those H-1B candidates who wish to take advantage of the cap gap rules.
