aj741 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am waiting for my H1- B extension. I applied on May 26 2015 regular processing in vermont office. There has been no updates till now 5 sept 2015. On the website it says it takes 2 month for H1-B extention but its been over 3 months. I was wondering if anyone is in same situation as mine.

cprakash1995 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 You should probably apply for premium already if you have to leave. Also your stamp is calid till 31st and you are returning before that, so shouldnt you be fine if it is just an extension? Link to comment

par1984 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Can anyone tell me if the H1B cases are processed in order they were received for example if the case received in 20th May will be processed before than cases received after that date. Link to comment

vineet.charanpahari Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Has anyone tried a service request? Link to comment
sweta78 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Are there any rejections guys? I am also waiting for the approval. Mine was received on 15th June under regular processing. I believe I read it in ******** - someone got a response from USICS that curerntly they are processing May 1st week applications and may take another 40 days to get to June 1st week. Any idea about that? Is there any risk if I upgrade it to PP? Link to comment
master346 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 My employer has opened a service request with USCIS. Yet to get the response from them. Link to comment
