Limit reached for high skilled foreigners
The INS says the 1998 H-1B visa allotment of 65,000 for high skilled workers is exhausted and new applications will be stopped until October 1. Large IT firms push Congress to raise the cap, while the Clinton administration and labor groups resist, favoring US training instead. Senate action by Sen. Spencer Abraham would add 30,000 visas this year and lift the ceiling to 115,000 for four years, with $50 million for low income student scholarships.
