H1B new petition-filed under PP

[lenkinserin]

My employer filed H1B petition (new) in PP. Tomorrow is the 14th day and I'm wondering when USCIS would make the decision? Also, my employer didn't give me the receipt number, so I'm not able to check status of my application. What should I do? Thanks in advance!

What is the status you see online. If it is in premium processing then the online status should be Acceptance.

Is it surely in premium processing?

[lenkinserin]

I can't see online as I don't have the receipt number with me. Yes, my petition has been filed in premium processing and today is the 14th day.

I came to know through my employer that I got an RFE regarding the job description. My employer has addressed the RFE request. I'm wondering in how many days, I'll hear the decision from USCIS? What are the chances of getting approval?

[cooldude76]

You get a decision in 15 calendar days once the RFE response is received by them.

[lenkinserin]

So, the 15 days clock would again start from the day USCIS receive the RFE response or it's total 15 days?

[cooldude76]

Yes the 15 days clock will start again from the day USCIS receives RFE. What is the RFE about ?

[lenkinserin]

RFE is about the detailed information regarding the job description. My employer said he has seen these kind of RFE's before and this is not something I should be worried but honestly, I'm really worried. Has anyone received this kind of RFE. Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. What are the chances of getting H-1B approval?

If its for job description then the question might be concerned with the speciality occupation. Make sure to respond to this RFE in a correct manner. Hope your employer is working with an attorney.
