In a memorandum issued by the USCIS on June 6, 2006, employees of organizations that are not ordinarily exempt from the H-1B cap may apply under the cap if they are placed to work in a location that qualifies as exempt. In other words, a non-exempt employer may apply for its employee under the cap if that employee's service will be performed at a qualifying institution. This clears the way for more H-1B potential applicants to receive H-1B visas under the cap
