Topic: Any News on the H1B applications filed on Apr 01 2008
My employer emailed me today.
She said the lawyers dont know anything yet, and they cant say for sure i got rejected, that the goverment is moving very slow. last year, people got receipt notices even in July, although the last date for that was june 2nd.
So i dont really know what to say. My employer has no reason to lie, cause i didnt pay for my papers |

i posted an article from AILA last week, and it was almost the same. And yes, I can say that the article doesnt really corespond with what we've seen on this site...i mean people received receipts notices in June from what i know.
I dont know what to say anymore, the only thing i can add is that last year people received receipt notices until mid July(although the date limit was June 2nd,like it was this year). So hopefully there are still chances. The last time i spoke with my lawyers (this was 2 weeks ago) they said that people will get rejections even of they passed the lottery, and when this happens, someone else will be picked instead.
Hopefully this will help. My employer should call me this week to tell me the latest news so i will keep you guys posted. |

I found this article today:
USCIS Service Center Operations has provided the following information to AILA liaison regarding processing cases under the FY2009 H-1B cap:
1. Except for cases that were being reviewed as potential duplicate filings, all receipts have been issued for those cases selected in the random lottery. The CSC and VSC completed data entry on all selected cases on May 23, 2008, and mailing of all receipts was completed on May 24, 2008.
2. Cases that were thought to be duplicate filings are being hand reviewed to determine if they are true duplicates. USCIS has received approximately 500 petitions that are believed to be duplicates. However, some of these were submitted as "protective filings" due to courier delivery confirmation problems or where the petition was sent to an incorrect Service Center. Each will be reviewed and determined on a case-by-case basis. If the second submission was accompanied by an explanation of the reason for the second submission, there is a good chance of acceptance.
3. USCIS has determined that the number of petitions selected during the random selection process will be sufficient to meet the cap limit. Therefore, the use of the reserve/cushion will not be necessary this year. USCIS has begun to mail out rejections this week.
I wrote to my employer to ask the lawyers what is going on, cause they just put me on hold, and the lawyers said that its good that we dont know anything, cause uscis are cutting people from the list and there are very good chances to get the visa...what do i think?? i think my lawyers are full of shit and they have absolutly no ideea what are they talking about. Anyways, i will keep you guys posted about what is going on and what was my employers answer.
im sorry i dont have good news, but dont worry guys, i didnt get my visa either (or atleast this is what i suppose cause the lawyers didnt tell my employer if i got the receipt notice or not...they dont even answer her phone...niceeee no?) |

Guys,
i didnt pay anything for my h1b visa, my employer did (btw, i wasnt hired through a consultancy company, i found the job miself) and i dont know if i got a receipt notice or not, cause the lawyer is taking care of everything. All i know is that i wasnt approved yet,maybe i have a receipt or maybe not, but my point for this conversation is that things are not clear yet, my employer said to wait cause the lawyer said that are still good chances to get approved. So dont start doubting your employer yet, mine has no reason to lie, cause i didnt pay anything.
Another thing, 2-3 weeks ago i found out from my employer that uscis changed the last day of sending notification from june 2nd to june 6th, but in their press release there wasnt anything published about this. So, i think you guys should try trusting your emplyer for another 1 week. I checked again the press release and nothing. Dont you guys think that they will publish a press release when all this will end??? |

For Leellavathi:
I just applied for jobs there...the thing is that my country is in the European Union, and i have the right to work legally anywhere in Europe, i dont need a visa or something like this for UK. And since the price of oil keeps on going up, and my degrees are in oil, its not that hard for me to find something in Europe... |

congrats to you! Im one of the unlucky people who didnt hear anything yet....My employer spoke with the lawyers today, and the fact that we dont have an answer yet doesnt mean anything (in lawyers opinion). It seems that they (lawyers) applied for 9 visas this year and they only got an answer for 2....The chances should be 50/50, because are 165.000 petitions, and 85.000(65.000+20.000 for masters quota) are approved, and from what i read here other people asked their lawyers, and the situation is kinda the same, only 2-3 answers from 10-15 petitions sent. i really dont know what to say to all other people, im the same as you guys, very frustrated because i dont have an answer and because i refused 3 other jobs in UK for this one. sucks no?
Oh, and btw, the lawyers said that uscis extended the period of sending receipts or letter to appliants until June 6th (it was supposed to end on june 2nd). |
