CEO Dick Burke was quoted in the SHRM article, “2017 H-1B Visa Cap Filings Set New Record,” on April 13, 2016. The article discusses this year’s H-1B application numbers reaching an all-time high. Burke was quoted as saying, “This year’s significantly smaller increase in number of H-1B petitions (a 1 percent increase, compared with last year’s 35 percent year-over-year growth) isn’t an indication of waning demand. It’s rather reflective of what we heard from certain companies—that many of them are giving up hope on the program after years of being turned away.”
