shaugat Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 I finished my medical residency on June 30, 2013 in J1. Received my J1 Waiver job approval in April, 2013. Lawyer filed my H1b with COS in Early June and it was approved on June 19 with premium processing. E-mail from USCIS said 'your case is approved', it contained my name, class, employer, validity and my I-94 number. However, in the mailed documents (i797) they didn't change my status and apparently asking to get it stamped from my home country. My lawyer called and told me that USCIS might have made an error and lawyer had sent them an e-mail to correct it. After that e-mail online status changed from 'Approved' to 'Acceptance' and is saying "An amended notice on this case has been mailed". What does it mean? Do you think they have sent the correct I797 (i797A) with COS? Or I have to get it stamped out USA? Please help! I would really appreciate it!
pontevecchio Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 premium processing implies your Lawyer has direct contact with the Officer. Hence a quick call to your Lawyer should help you about the matter.
Attorney_11 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 Generally, when a fact scenario plays out as above, USCIS has determined that they made an error and are sending an amended approval notice correcting that error.
shaugat Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 Thank you very much Attorney_11!! I will update once I know about the amended notice. I really appreciate your input!
shaugat Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Posted July 10, 2013 I got my amended approval notice today from USICS with COS (i797A), meaning USCIS made an error initially (they sent i797C instead of i797A). Thank you all for your valuable input!
