* The basis for classification is ``new employment'' and numerical limitation information is ``Cap H-1B
Bachelor's Degree'' and ``Cap H-1B U.S. Master's Degree or Higher''. Fiscal year of receipt and the fiscal
year of the cap may differ, resulting in year-to-year deviations shown. These deviations are smoothed out by
the average estimates.
