luckysan Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hi, I am little worried about the final decision of my H1B petition. It was applied under premium processing. Below are the details.. Receipt Date: - May-13-2013. Acceptance: - May-14-2013. On May 17, 2013, the 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. I saw many posts under this category in this forum saying the status changed to Approved within couple of hours (3-4 hours). But in my case the status hasn't changed so far. I would like to know is anybody / have gone through the same situation & what is the probability of getting approved. Thanks. Link to comment

KrishnasH1b Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Guys, I'm in the same situation.... Case - H1b Extension PP Receipt Date: - May-14-2013. Acceptance: - May-15-2013. On May 17, 2013, the 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. I have seen a few posts in trackit, Murthy forum and other forums under the same category saying the status changed to Approved within couple of hours (3-4 hours). I have seen some cases where the approval status change took 3-4 days. My case in the same stop clock situation for the past 3 days still no update about any RFE/Approval. I spoke to my employer and they confirmed me that they did not receive anything till now. I would like to know if anyone have gone through the same situation..... Thanks.... Link to comment

On May 29, 2013, the 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. A notice was sent on this date explaining the specific reason for stopping the premium processing of your case. This notice will contain detailed information on further action required by you. Your premium processing receipt notice contains contact information for direct inquiries on your case. need to see whether it will change to arppoval/RFE/denial Link to comment
luckysan Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Its still showing the same status but heard from employer saying they received RFE... don't know what exactly it says..checking with him.. Link to comment
myselfdemon Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Its a RFE guys wait for it. it actually goes from initial review to RFE and then comes back to initial review with clock stop meseg. this happenes withing 30 minutes. The problem is they ask same thing that is already attached in the application showing they just throw RFE to buy time on 15 Day Premium process. The sad part is after 1 month of replying to the RFE their clock is still stuck when they threw RFE..they just don wana work on the file ..!! kameene saale!! Link to comment
nurkadur Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I saw the same status at 6:46 edt yesterday but it changed to approved at 8:30. in the meanwhile I called USCIS with the receipt number and the automated response gave me the added info that an I797 form was mailed(the info about I797 was not shown on the website). that coupled with the fact that my status never went to RFE gave me assurance that it was approved before I saw the actual message. so here's my suggestion -Set up automated email and SMS alerts which will yell you if your case ever went into RFE(sometimes it may change to RFE for a brief period before changing to.clock stopped...so you'll not know about RFE if you don't have automated alerts. -As soon as you see clock stopped call USCIS and press 1 four times, enter receipt number, confirm and then hear about I797. this should help alleviate some of the anxiety around this ambiguous status best of luck!

ganny Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi I went through similar situation. H1B tranafer application(premium) sent on :May 24 Acceptance: May 29 On June 4 the clock stopped on my premium processing.I was really worried about the status not knowing what exactly it means(RFE or Approval) .The status changed in the morning and by evening( after 6 hours) I got a call from my new employer saying that they have received approval notice.It was funny to see that the status did not change on the website for the next 1 hr. The wait was not easy at all. Link to comment

user_seeking_help Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My case: Acceptance: 06/20/2013 3PM PP Clock Stopped/ Initial Review: 06/21/2013 11AM Strange in a way because, the status changed from Acceptance to Initial Review in a matter of few 'business' hrs.. Now it being Friday and there has been no update as yet, looks like its gonna be a very long wait. Fingers crossed. Good luck you all. Hope you all get an approval. Sooner the better. Link to comment

JayAditya Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Can anybody explain, over the phone my it says I-797 is mailed, does it mean it can be any of these or specifically I-797. I797 ,I797A,I797B,I797C,I797E because is I-797 is notice of approval but others are different. I am wondering if it is having an alphabet attached to do they mention that in trhe message over phone. just curious and tensed a bit because I got 1 RFE already and I do not want one more.

sunil_ranger Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi, I've got the same status online as well since yesterday in the morning. I know it did not go into RFE in the middle because I am signed in for email alerts. When I called up their customer service line, it says that I-797 has been mailed. My clock started after I had replied to an RFE. So I doubt if there will be another one. But could any of the guys who received RFE after having gotten this status let the rest of us know what automated message it was that you received when you called up? Thanks, Sunil Link to comment
krish.csai Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi: I am in same situation. This is what I see on website for my case status: "15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER" Mine is a transfer and full time. I called the customer service number and it says my I797 has been sent. I am not sure what kind of I-797! Can anyone share result of similar experience? Thanks! Link to comment
