master346 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi, My employer has filed for my H1 extension in April 2015 as a regular processing and we didn't get any updates on the processing for 4 months. So again on Aug 11th employer upgraded it to premium processing. I got the receipt notice on August 12. It is pending in the status as "Case was received and a Receipt Notice was emailed" since then. It is 19th day as of today and no updates were received. Not even the RFE. My previous H1 has expired on July 31st. I am past my 6 yrs of H1 and 140 has been approved. How should I proceed now? Thanks, Sri Link to comment

jairichi Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Employer has to contact USCIS. Link to comment
master346 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sunny, Vermont Processing Center. @Jairichi - Thanks. Thanks Sri Link to comment
sunny1986 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Did your employer contact USCIS? They need to do that to find out the status. Link to comment
master346 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yes Sunny. They said, They have opened a Service Request with USCIS to find out what's going on with the application. It seems it will take upto 2 weeks to get the response from them. Link to comment

It seems it will take upto 2 weeks to get the response from them. Since USCIS did not meet the deadline for PP your employer will get a refund of PP fee. Link to comment

master346 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 We got response from USCIS yesterday saying my case is pending with security check and they do not have any updates about the decision yet. Link to comment
master346 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 My current H1 and I-94 expired on July 31st and I haven't got any response from USCIS regarding my extension since May 2015. I guess 240 day rule has already kicked in in my case (48 days past expired H1). I am planning to transfer my H1 to a new employer. Will I be under 240 day rule even if I apply for H1b transfer to a new employer now? Please advise. Link to comment

not2stop Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi... What was the final outcome on your case? In a similar situation, past 20 days on PP, no update yet. Waiting on my employer to follow-up on the case with USICS via service ticket. Hope it gets cleared. Link to comment
Praveen524 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi master 346, Im also in same boat, applied for extension in march 2016 and converted to premium in SEP 2016 and now I'm in 240 days period and already completed 120 days. USCIS replied with background check only. I'm curious about your thing, what happend to your case? did you moved to other employer? is the petition approved? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks.
