Hi Vaish,
People are still getting receipt numbers, today also people got them. Haven't still heard that rejections have started coz USCIS has extended the date for sending receipt numbers by 7th june instead of 2nd june (P.S. These words are being said by one of the attorneys). So i guess one should not lose hope till 7th june coz officially by USCIS theres no news that they have started sending the packets back but this is also true that some of MS people with PP have got their packets back. So everyone waiting to get receipt numbers, keep ur fingers crossed.
All the Best!!!

Even I mailed my consultant. He too said the same thing that to wait until june 5th or so. Anyway Thank u once again. I do request all other viewers to respond and share updated news

Hi guys!
Still waiting too.....
I too was wondering why there hasn't been any postings regarding receiving of their receipt notices. I'm really getting more and more hopeless by the day 'til now.
If there's still hope... God willing, we'll have our receipt notices soon!!! God bless us!!!!!

Hi there,

even I have not receveid any intimation from my employer on the status. getting a bit nervey as initally usics said that they will send the receipt nos within 15-20 days of the lottery draw. People say that cheques getting cleared become an indicator of ur application being picked up but i think that has also not happened this time.

share if anybody has any updates on this

Hello friends, Did any one know how our consultants get the receipt number. I mean whether through post or by any other means. How the consultancy people certify that we got our so called receipt numbers. Every evening do check your E-mails. I heard that they get the receipt number by post. Do not loose hope.... Still we have some more time. If any one know anything in detail do leave a message.

Hi,

Some days back my consultant company called and said my application has been selected in the lottery. But after that I am not getting any update from them regarding receipt number. I am bit worried about this. I called them on 31 may 2008, they said they have to get receipt numbers for some applications. Please suggest me how should I go further.

regards

I got the reciept number from my employer stating that my application has been selected in lottery.
When i see the status online , it says "case recieved and pending" and it also says that the appilcation was recieved on
May 14th 2008.

What will be the next course of action in the H1B process. When will they call for an interview. When can we make sure that our H1B application has been approved.

Can some one tell me the approximate processing time for getting the H1B approved.

Posted by vsubraya (16) 02 Jun 2008
Hi
You need to wait for the approval letter from the USCIS and then
your consultant/employer will send you a bunch of papers to proceed for the Interview for stamping (say end of July 08)
after that you need to go online and schedule interivew
before that you need to get the correct fees in prescribed format
before that you should think who all involved for stamping and what type visa you, your spouse or kids needs?
before that you see whether you have all documents (your own and DOB, Marriage Cert (if any)

Hi everyone...
Try to collect first all the documents which you carry for stamping....

Can some one tell what type of docs and stuff need to keep ready?

Hi Leela..Be cool and hold your breath for sometime....All your prayers and wishes will be answered soon.

You can track you application status using your receipt number at www.uscis.gov.

There are little chances of getting application rejected after chosen in the lottery only if found ineligible with educational qualification and relevent experience.

Dont believe things happening around.JUst pop in to the portal check your status.

All the best

Is the case number the same with receipt number? If I don't get a receipt number, does it mean my application is not selected in lottery? Until now, I haven't heard anything from my employer since they emailed me that they already filed my H1B application. Is there hope until end of this week?

I know for a fact that the 'lottery' was done during the second week of April. USCIS said they will release receipt notices 'til the 2nd of June though I've read that it will be extended 'til June 5 or 7.

From a positive point of view, I think they are still waiting for the status of our application. :-) Let us wait till the end of this week. Hopefully they will get back to us next week. By the way, from what country are you?

hello smagadia,
Yeah, I also think they are waiting for the status of our application, but at least they must respond to emails that they have no news. Hopefully they will get back to us ASAP. My current employer is planning to send me onshore on an L1 visa, that is why I am eagerly waiting for the results, good or bad. I am from the Philippines, by the way.
