roshng Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 My H1 application was sent overnight by fedex same day delivery, on 22nd Nov. So I am guessing USCIS should have received the application on 23rd Nov. USCIS mentions that they will reject all applications received after 22nd Nov. However, the attorney working with my employer says that typically USCIS will receive a lot of applications that they reject due to reasons like RFE or they count non exempt applications (like H1 transfers) within the cap & so they would consider applications received on 23rd too. How true is this? Thanks Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 If they say they have enough applications, then they have enough. They already have a buffer for rejections etc. built-in. Link to comment
sivad Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 generally the no of cap available case will be carry forward to the next year quota.. unless they have fair count of applications on 22nd they will not issue the notification to not accepting the applications on 23rd..

roshng Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thanks for the clarifications. Dont know why my employer still thinks the application will be accepted! :( Link to comment
RennRivkin Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Is the cap country specific? As an Indian-born Australian citizen do you think my H1B application under 2011 quote will be treated differently? Thanks in advance Link to comment
murphyd Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 @rennRivkin. H1B cap is not country specific. But if you are australian citizen you could work on E-3 visa. Link to comment
ashley123 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi Roshng, I am in the same situation as you. My employer sent out my application on 23rd Nov. Will really appreciate if you can let me know what happens with your application. Thanks. Link to comment
murphyd Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Most probably, all the applications received after Nov 23rd will be rejected. Link to comment
roshng Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi Roshng, I am in the same situation as you. My employer sent out my application on 23rd Nov. Will really appreciate if you can let me know what happens with your application. Thanks. Hi Ashley, I am still waiting for my employer to confirm if he received any information. But based on what I am hearing, it will be rejected. Unfortunately we missed it by 1 day! :( Feels terrible! Please do let me know what happens with your application. All the best! Link to comment
