H1B approval after 5.5 months

[freshoftheboat?]

I finally got approval after waiting for 5.5 months from the CSC

Date of H1B receipt: 3rd June

Approval Date: 13 Nov

This is H1B extension and transfer together.

Just need patience when dealing with the USCIS.

Congrats !

So did you joined new company from the day you got your receipt? Or you will be doing it now?

[vancievictor]

Congratulations !. How long did you get the extension for ?

[freshoftheboat?]

I joined the new company a month after I got the receipt. The extension is for 3 years.

has any one got visa extension approved filed after 3rd june at csc, my receipt date is 28th june still no updates

I got the receipt from USCIS on June 22 for my H1B extension but its Nov 25th and still it shows as Initial Review, little tensed about it. Can anyone please shed some light on this? Can this delay be an indication of rejection or an RFE?

[freshoftheboat?]

The USCIS is very slow in processing the H1Bs right now. From what I understand they didnot process any H1B during the summer because they were concentrating on other type of visas etc. That is why you see this delay.

Just need to wait it out.
