Discuss kondetisree's H-1B USCIS Case

As of Sept 02, Vermont is still processing April 15th receipt dates. So yours might take another 10 days max.

Thanks for the Info, Idliman. I really wish that I should get before this month end as my Visa is getting expired on 30th Sep.

I see the processing time of Vermont shows May 22nd now,but how so many cased filed before that day still pending?
How they calculate the processing date ?

Is your case still pending ?? Kindly pls give me update. Thank you !

FYI -- This is the reply from my Lawyer on 13th Sep | My case received by USCUS -- 24th May

I called USCIS to follow up on the status. Despite the fact that the website says VSC’s processing time is two months, I was advised the VSC is currently working on petitions received May 15. Therefore, the petition will not be “outside normal processing time” for another nine days. Until then, we can’t do anything.

tomato,
where did you get the info about currently being processed for May 22nd applications? how long will it take to pick up May 22nd, and when will we receive the actual physical copy of h1b?

konde,
there is no such thing as you cannot the lawyer, take the number from internet and call them directly

what the lawyer means "“outside normal processing time” "?

Hmm.... This is the Response from my HR on OCT-19th
====
I spoke to Stephanie last week and she told me that USCIS was processing the applications received on May 18th 2010 and we will be hearing the decision on your case soon.

I will follow up with her again this week and update you the status.

konde,
what is the plan now? its getting frustrating for me..

see kaub11, his is 4th May case, behind us what does your lawyer say?

Babu,
lawyer doesn't say anything. They say we still less than 180 days period. Keep the HOPE on.

got approved yesterday, the online status says

Post Decision Activity
On October 28, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

My firend H1B s pending at vermont. Recently when his attorney called about the delays, USCIS said that they are reviewing F1 visa to H1B visa applications first. They have it as priority. The extension applications are delayed for this reason. Hopefully the new H1B applications have been finished by now.

Lawyer Response --- Nov 2nd -----

I called USCIS to follow up again. I was advised that case is not yet "outside the processing time," as VSC is processing petitions submitted 5/22/10, and receipt date for this petition is 5/24/10 (they’ve apparently been stuck on the same day for the last month and a half- very disappointing). I will calendar a reminder to follow up on 11/9/10.

Just got another Update from Lawyer ==== 09 Nov 2010 ======

I called USCIS to follow up on the H petition. They placed a service request, we should receive a letter with more information. The officer advised we follow up in a week if we don’t hear anything. I have calendared a reminder to follow up on 11/17/10.

No Updates yet from Lawyer/USCIS on my Service Request

Mine got approved two weeks ago. Both of our applications reached USCIS on the same day I guess. I hope you would have received some communication by now?

Two days back my lawyer got a letter from USCUS on Service Request which was opened(11/09/2010) on my case.
They said -- We will post our decision in next 60 DAYS.

Hmm.. Already 6 months got over.. And again 2 more months... Its a long wait.

This is bad, the same case with me and many others

FINALLY AFTER LONG WAIT -- Almost 7 months : H1B Extn got approved. But they gave it for ONE Year. (till 09/30/2011 -- mine current was expired on 09.30.2010)

Though I had my Labor n I-140 - I got it for 1 year... Again in next 6 months - Need to apply back :)-

ALL THE BEST, Guys.

Congratulations Kondetisree. I have been watching your status for this day to arrive. Peace be prevail.

Congratulations Kondetisree.

Thank you, karupayi n vikramdotcom
