Discuss babukhan's H-1B USCIS Case

My case is also with same as like you(May 24th)... Still waiting.. Says --> Initial Review status.
Hope for the best. I am expecting approval/RFE before this month end as we are seeing cases are getting cleared.(may 18th as latest)

Hmm.... This is the Response from my Lawyer on SEP-13th
====
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.

kondetisree,
i got the same letter from lawyer onsep 20thm and he says wait for 30 days and he will contact again. so he will contact USCIS vermont on Oct 20. Any updates on your end?

NO. As I am not suppose to contact Lawyer directly, I've asked my employer to follow up on my case with Lawyer. But there is NO proper response.
I am hoping for at least we will get something(Approval/RFE) by this month end.

Hope for the best. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST as well. And I am also hearing that they are giving just 1 year Extensions instead of 3 years. Thats sucks.
Again we have to be on the same boat (:-

konde,
i think if lawyer wrties a strong letter while applying that the contract is extenable , then they should give 3 years, is that USCIS website updated regularly?

We have given letter stating that my project will get extend till 30th Sep'13. Will see how they are going to give. But actual client contract is ending on 31-Dec-2010.

Answer to your Question --> what the lawyer means "“outside normal processing time” "?

It means normal processing time is upto 180 days which mean 6 months time. If USCIS received our case 6months earlier and you still don't have updates, then your case falls under --> 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.
