In a recent memorandum, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services advised that the $1000 education and training fee will no longer be required after September 30, 2003 unless there is new H-1B legislation which becomes effective by that date.  The elimination of the $1000 fee corresponds with the reduction of the H-1B cap from 195,000 to 65,000 for the fiscal year commencing on October 1, 2003.
