kumark Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Upgraded to Premium and the application received by USCIS on "27th Jan 2012". Current status: Acceptance. Any idea, how long it is taking for premium processing in Vermont center. Hi All, My employer applied for H1B extension in regular process for me. Here are my details: Receipt Date: Sep 26 2011. Regular H1B extension at Vermont center. Status - Initial Review (as on Jan 15 2012) Did anyone get the approval whose application was received in the month of Sep'11. Also, I've booked the tickets to travel to India for my wedding. Can anyone pls let me know if I can travel while the case is pending with USCIS. If not, I want to convert the case to premium and just wanted to know how long it will take to approve the case in premium mode for Vermont center. Thanks, Kumar K Link to comment

nitya3 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi, My employer filed for my new H1B (H4 to H1B). Receipt Notice Date: September 30, 2011 Processing Center: Vermont Service Center Case Status as of 2/22/2012 : INITIAL REVIEW However, when we check H1B case processing times in USCIS webpage, they have updated their processing times on 2/21/2012. The updated processing times for H1B is Oct 2, 2011. So my receipt notice date is earlier than processing date. I called customer suppport and seems i am not authorized to talk and my petitioner has to call them. My employer is also not ready to call them as he doubt these are approximate times in their webpage and more we call them, more chances to get RFE. Is that true that more times we call customer support, more chances to get RFE ? If my employer is not ready to call them, please suggest what I can do ? Your responses and suggestions are much appreciated. Link to comment

If the petition got denied (filed as premium) can be considered as same Premium processing for Motion to Repoen as well ? Link to comment

nitya3 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 @ swarna, Thanks for responding to my post. May I know if yours is a big company (> 25 employees) or smaller one (<= 25 employees) ? Looks like USCIS prioritize smaller companies than big ones. My questions to audience: 1. Is that true that more times our employer calls USCIS customer support, more chances to get RFE ? 2. If my employer is not ready to call them, please suggest what I can do ? 3. If most of petitons filed by my employer were processed in Premium, will that affect my petition which was filed under Regular processing ? Your feedback is greatly appreciated ! Link to comment

Hi Nitya, I got it approved today morning. My company has more than 25 employees and calling them once doen't affect the chances of getting approved. Ask your attorney to call them. If they feel that problem is with processing time they will directly call to the uscis guys and will ask them to check whats happening with the petition. They will also assigned an SR. Samething happened to me and within 3 days i got it approved. plz let me know if u need more details. Don't worry u may get it in couple of days...be relaxed..all teh best.. Link to comment
