processing time of Motion to Reconsider.

[kris8989]

I have applied H1b visa in premium processing on April 2012(in masters quota) and i received the query regarding employee employer relationship

since i don't have client letter and my client is not giving any email conformation/letter USCIS have rejected my visa on June 2012.

and using some email conversations and some supporting documents with out the client letter i applied for MRT (motion to reconsider/reopen) on July 27th 2012.

Could you please help me to understand the process and the following question

1) How much time it will take to get result of my MTR ?

2) What % of chances in getting visa ?

My H1 was denied on June 06 '12 and appealed on June 26 '12. In my case its an appeal and not MTR. Waiting for the response. Based on the googling and my employer's feedback MTR is much faster than the appeal.

Any update on he motion to reconsider.

Even my H1 extension was denied on 01 Aug 2012.

we are going for motion to reconsider with all the evidences and documents this time.

Any idea/estimate how much time they take? My case was in PP, will they consider it in PP while re-adjudicating the case ?

@ tina,

can u pls provide your details, denial date and when was MTR filed ?

[senah1b]

Not sure if PP applies for MTR or appeal. If you can check the link that I had given, it gives you the timeline.

The case gets dealt differently based on the type of appeal i.e MTR or appeal. Please check the link.

My denial date was July 27th and I appealed on Aug 18th. It was filed as a MTR, but ultimately be considered as appeal. Once you file I-290B, it will be sent to the officer who denied the petition. The evidence supported needs to be satisfied, by the officer and his supervisor. If they feel the evidence is satisfactory they will approve, if they need more clarification it will be sent to AAO in Washington D.C to make a final decision, which takes longer time.

PP is not applied for MTR's or appeals.

[tina.4u.2k5]

@ tina,

Any update in your MTR case ?

Mine was reached to USCIS and was in Initial review. I have a new WAC number? How about u?

[cooldude76]

@tina,

My request to reopen reached them on 08/27/12, I dont think so I will be getting any new receipt no.

Not sure how much time it takes.

Well in your case, you appealed on 08/18 and got a receipt no by 08/29, thats a good pace. All the very best.

Hello,

I am also in the same boat. My H1b got denied on July 3rd for lack of client letter. I got my client letter and my attorney filed MTR on 27th July. I am awaiting reply. I got new WAC and am tracking it....

Hi Vinod,

Did your attorney filled up an I290B form along with the fees or just requested for a re-open for this case ?

What does the current status on the WAC tracking system now ?

[cooldude76]

Any updates from anyone.

Or any idea how much time this takes ?

Nothing from my end. Waiting on it. Patience is a virtue.

Hi kumargb9, tina.4u.2k5

mine is also the same case. H1b denied and applied to MTR when i am on OPT extension. Please let know if you had any updates on the case. i have applied my MTR on 3rd August 2012.

My status still says, INITIAL REVIEW and On August 3, 2012, we received this I290B NOTICE OF APPEAL TO THE COMMISSIONER, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.

Please let me know your thoughts...

Thank you,

RAJ

[cooldude76]

Guys,

Any new update. None from me :-(

[vin_blue]

@cooldude76 - My attorney sent I-290B with fees. It still says "Initial Review" on the website:

Initial Review

On July 27, 2012, we received this I290B NOTICE OF APPEAL TO THE COMMISSIONER, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case

[cooldude76]

Good Vinod your attorney did the right thing of going for an MTR with I290B and the relevant fees.

Hope you get through with it at the earliest.

[vin_blue]

my I-290B got approved today !!! (Oct 27). Exactly 90 days after filing MTR

[cooldude76]

Congrats Vinod, thats a great and good news.

Did you get a chance to have a look at your I797 approval, is it with an I-94 ?

[senah1b]

Congratulations to Vinod.

No update on my case.

[cooldude76]

Applied and approved for a new H1 with new employer. MTR is not really a better option, as per my experience.

All the very best to all others.
