H4 to H1 visa stamping

[h1h4]

I came to US on H4 and I got my h1 in 2001 and since then I was working with the same company,and havent been to India and planning to visit in May to get H1visa stamped.
Recently I read that the H1 visa quota is completed for fiscal year 04 and until october'04 no visas will be issued.Does this mean issueing visas in india or new H1 visas.
Is it safe for me to go to india to get h1 visa.Please help me.

Thanks

The H1 visa petition has a cap per fiscal year and your H1 visa stamping will be based on the approved H1 visa petition. So you dont have to worry about the quota issue.

Make sure you have enough time left on your H1 for the stamping and also carry all documents need to apply for a visa stamping at the consulate overseas.

You can find more information in this site.
