U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will stop accepting the applications after April 3.

On Monday, USCIS received 150,000 petitions for the 65,000 H-1B visas that will be issued for fiscal year 2008, starting Oct. 1.

USCIS began accepting the petitions April 2 and although the 150,000 petitions received Monday (not to mention the tens-of-thousands still being counted today) are more than enough to fill the annual allotment, USCIS is mandated to accept the petitions until April 3, says a USCIS spokeswoman.

USCIS will begin rejecting petitions for H-1B Wednesday, she says.
