jalsa24 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 JustdoIT Did u ever send an email to PIMS@state.gov or the embasys ur attending regarding ur H1 B notice. PIMS update is an internal process but if u send an email and take the printout it may be usefull . I am not telling by our email they will update teh PIMS but that is what we can do from our side .
