USCIS advised AILA's Service Center Operations (SCOPS) Liaison Committee on the processing of the remaining 89 H-1B cap subject cases that were not selected as part of the random number generator on 5/26/06 as follows:

• A letter will be issued to each petitioner/attorney notifying them that their case will be processed if they submit the appropriate fees.
• The letter will include instructions on mailing the fees to a dedicated mailing address.
• The deadline to respond to the letter will be November 14, 2006.
• Those that have not responded by November 14, 2006, will be contacted by the Vermont Service Center (VSC) via e-mail or phone to determine whether they are interested in pursuing the petition.
• A dedicated e-mail address will be set up for any filing questions pertaining to these cases. This e-mail account will be monitored through the deadline date.

AILA-SCOPS Liaison has requested further clarification on this and will post further information as it becomes available.
