pandu123 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Extention + Transfer Receipt Date : 15 SEP Converted to premium on 14 'th DEC Status changed to Acceptance on 15 'th DEC Approved on 16 'th DEC. I thought of waiting couple of weeks but, my employer converted it to premium without letting me know. This is my first extension and approved only for one year from the date my application was converted to premium. Also, guys If you can convince your client to put an end date on your client letter (ie., till the end date filed on your I 129 petition) you will most likely get an extension till that date. From what I noticed, If the client letter says probability of extension, or high chances of contract extension, your case will be approved only for one year. I could have convinced my client to put an end date but, neither my employer informed me nor I came to know about that. So, don't waste your money/ your employers money by not mentioning an end date on your client letter. Good luck guys. Guys those who have applied after Sep 12th, 2011 and received approvals please update your status in this thread..... I noticed that for regular processing last approved date was Dec 9th for receipt date of Sep12th, 2011. I guess applications with receipt date after Sep 12th ,2011 might have received approvals during the last week. I haven't seen anyone posting approvals in last week. I request all the members to update their status immediately after approvals... Thanks Link to comment

carlossol Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Dear Members, My Case: Started on F1 Visa as a Student in San Diego and got an offer for an unpaid internship. Flew back to germany (homecountry) applied for J1 Visa got approved and started interning on April 4th this year. After working 6 months unpaid my company wanted to see how much knowledge I picked up during this internship and wanted me to take the securities exams 7 and 66. I scored around 90% in both and got a fulltime job offer by my current J1 Company. My "employer/Internsponsor" and my attorny filed my H1B petition for the position of an Investment Adviser/Financial Consultant on September 22nd 2011 to change my status from J1 to H1B. I hold a Bachelors Degree from European Business School in Business Administration/Finance and studied 1 semester in the U.S. I also hold all required liicenses needed for the described job position. As of now I am still waiting on my H1B decision, but my J1 visa will expire December 31st and I will go into the 30 days grace period without any change of status. It is getting really frustrating and I pray every single day to see a little change in the USCIS online system. Thought it would have been a great christmas gift, but nothing haha :D. So the Facts: USCIS Received Date = September 22nd, 2011 USCIS Notice Date = September 23rd , 2011 Status = Initial Review Current waiting time = 97 days Status of frustration = 98% Status of Hope = 70% decreasing every day I have never received a RFE or anything else. I saw those 2 months average waiting times online, but it seems like they include the 15 days premium processing cases within their calculation. Just wanted to give you guys and overview and update on my case. Maybe it will start an interesting discussion. Sincerely, Tim Link to comment
