congrats.

is that your receipt date though? your earlier post mentions receipt date of 8/16.

you can find a lot of scary and not so scary posts under the h1b stamp forum.

I have some family issues which require me to go back to my home country. I wonder if anyone knows how long it will take from receiving approval notice(email) to formal document?

My Application reciept Date is Aug 26th.

Still in Initial Review.

Its been near to 4 Months.

But My Dependent Applications (H4) have been approved.

Does the USCIS approve dependent applications ahead of the Parent H1B application?

Any views?
