Re: H1B Extension Issue

[Murth]

Hi All,

I had applied for H-1B extension under premium processing. I got a receipt number and a receipt date (3/30/17). But, my attorney made a big mistake  and forgot to sign the premium processing fee form. So today, the USCIS has returned the $1225 fee to the attorney. The attorney's office sent an apology email accepting their mistake.

I want to know what my options are. Is there a way by which I can petition the USCIS to re-consider my application under premium process (esp. after 04/03 deadline)? Will the USCIS automatically change my application from premium to regular process? Or, do I need to do anything from my side? 

Is there anything else that I need to be aware/careful of in this situation.

Thanks in advance.

There is no premium processing right now, and you can't do anything about it.

Just accept the facts.
