I'm not sure about that. The H1B quota for FY 2010/2011 was exhausted sometime in Feb this year I think. Because of this, my application was pushed to FY 2011/2012, so I can only start work in Oct. So I think the quota is being used up. Or at least it was, this year.

Yes, my petition missed the 2011 cap by two days (think the cap was reached on January 27), so as for the parent poster my start date was pushed to October.
