formyuse Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi jimiparekh, This is my first extension (2nd term) not based on I-140. I did not upgrade to premium. It is interesting that USCIS website still shows my case as initial review!! Looks like the website is not being updated on time. Link to comment
SamRaj Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 congrats usemployee1. My case want to RFE. Receipt Date - July/15/2011 Case Type - H1B and H4 Extn using I-140 Case Status - RFE on Dec08th My lawyer didn't got the RFE details yet. I already waited a long. While answering the RFE I am thinking to convert it to Premium. Please let me know how for it's risky to convert PP after RFE. (I understand it's depends on case by case and based on my RFE, I want a general opinion.) Link to comment

jimiparekh Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Type: H1 B extn Receipt date. July 22 Status: Approved on 09 - Dec I have upgraded to premium processing on 07-Dec and got the approval on 09- Dec Hi rockks, Do you mean that your premium application received by USCIS on 07th Dec. or you sent it on 7th? I think your application is processed under regular case as I have not seen any approval in 2 days. Link to comment

ranjan79 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi Everyone, I have been following this thread for long time. Finally I have an update- Type: H1 B extn and change of employer. Receipt date. July 22 Status: Approved on 13 - Dec. Received an SMS and well as email. I verified with USCIS website as well. For all of you who have receipt date earlier than mines- the application may not be processed in the order of receipt date( within 2 weeks) as there different officers working on applications. So there are times when one officer may have extra work as they get pulled for premium processing sometimes. There are times the officer assigned to your case may be on vacation as well. So keep patience- I'll be worried if it goes beyond a month of application processing dates. Good luck to all of you out there!! See you guys after 3 years- some of us will be here again!!!! Thanks RR Link to comment

sriram003 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 H1B & H4 extension with I-140 approved and GC priority date current. Receipt date July 15. Still waiting...really frustrating. Don't know if visa will get approved before Jan 1, when I'm eligible to apply for I-485. what to do in this case? Link to comment
krishna84 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Receipt Date: July 29 Status: Initial Review God how long is it going to take !! Link to comment
sankar8 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Sriram, Does visa need to be approved before filing 485, i think both are not related, if we have I-140 approved we can file the 485 even if the H1 extension is pending. Can you please let me know if i am not correct. Thanks Link to comment

Can you please let me know if i am not correct. Thanks Shankar, you are right..but I have applied for 3 years extension, but I guess I will get only 1 year extension if I don't get approval before Jan 1...isn't it? So I have to keep my fingers crossed!! Link to comment
