I have taken a few Series as a reference point and am following them along mine and am tracking them.

Great job tina.4u.2k5.

Mine is from Nov 21st filing list. I think at this pace it might take over a week for it to reach to mine (considering the high # of petetions that were filed in the last few days).

[tina.4u.2k5]

As expected I have a RFE. My series is WAC1203650XXX.

@tina4u.. hard luck.. but why "as expected" ? Is this because you haven't submitted all of the required docs or is it coz of any other reason? pls clarify.

[vavenugo]

Guys, I need a favor from you.. My employer refuses to give me the receipt number.. They only give me the date of filing and the center name. I recently came across a blog which says how to get the receipt number from uscis call center.

Is there any other way through which I can get the receipt number? Kindly let me know if some of you know that..

Thanks a bunch.

I submitted all the docs, my Client doesn't give the letter. Am thinking it may be regarding the Emp-Emp. By the way mines a EVC.

Varun, technically the employer is the one who has complete right over the filing and other stuff. Once your H1 is approved it's the law to share the petition copy. Hold tight for now, and once approved u have all rights. Make sure u'r pay check is running thru out the process.

[neil123]

The wait is killing me..

Filing Date: 18th Nov

Receipt Date: 21st Nov

[vavenugo]

By the way guys, I had asked a question earlier in this thread about getting the receipt number. Is there any way I can get my receipt number by knowing my receipt date and other required details. I tried asking my employer for receipt number and they dont give me at all.. If someone can suggest a way to get my receipt number, it would be great..

Thanks

Submit the docs and i am sure you'll get it approved soon.

My wife's receipt date in on 18th . Is it a random pick ??

[ghosh84]

Mine was file on 21st November. Still no reply. I was tracking few file numbers and have seen a huge number of people getting RFEs. So bit worried. RFE means another 2 months. Don't want to wait that long :( .

@ vavenugo Only your employer knows your file number. You cant get it without their help!!

[jacobivin]

just got to know that a person who was filed along with my wwife , receipt date 18th Nov got approval and the company got the approval email on 2nd March.

We are still waiting.....

[vavenugo]

Thanks a lot tina4u and ghosh.. guess I'd have to try and be patient..

Its not a random pick. The files are put into number of queues and then processed. So it is possible that 23rd nov application gets processed while 18th nov application is still in the queue.

Hi All,

My attorney who filed the H1B transfer paperwork convinces me that the delay of the H1B petitions is indeed in favor of us applicants / beneficiaries!!! I was told that the H1B time when waiting for USCIS approval is not counted towards the 6 years term.

Is that true at all? Especially when you're in the US working with new company on receipt notice? I was highly doubtful of this....but thought I'd get more opinions about this.

Appreciate all your responses........

Thanks!
