Vivaan123 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Does the timeline depend on the state you are working in? Mine was filed on Oct 21 and pending still.
srinathchowdary Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Mine LCA applied on OCt 18th and my H1B is expiring on Oct 26th am i in safe zone any suggestions? Important Information on Form I-129 H-1B, H-2A, and H-2B Petitions If an H-1B, H-2A, or H-2B petitioner submits evidence establishing that the primary reason for failing to timely file an extension of stay or change of status request was due to the government shutdown, USCIS will consider the government shutdown as an extraordinary circumstance and excuse the late filing, if the petitioner meets all other applicable requirements.
greenerpastures2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 My LCA was applied on Sept 25, 2013 ... I checked today and it still says 'In Process'. How long do I have to wait?!?
hicopicobm Posted October 26, 2013 Report Posted October 26, 2013 my employer couldn't find LCA yet after shutdown as the system has been very slow...those who at least managed to file LCA are lucky...now today I see the LCA website is completely down again....

vr1980@outlook.com Posted October 26, 2013 Report Posted October 26, 2013 Hello, Did you find anything regarding staying beyond h1n expiration? Have you got your LCA approved? Please let me know what you found? My visa is expiring on 10/31. Still waiting for LCA approval. I am being told I will have 30 days after H1B expiration to wrap up things here. Is that true? Mine LCA applied on OCt 18th and my H1B is expiring on Oct 26th am i in safe zone any suggestions?

srinathchowdary Posted October 27, 2013 Report Posted October 27, 2013 I got My LCA approved today(applied on Oct 18th) on Saturday October 25th 2013 hope i am good position to file my H1B on Monday
HukumKaEkka Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 My employer's attorney said that he has submitted LCA 2-3 days before shutdown... when I re-inquired on 24th he said "... USCIS has no control over this process as the LCA is pending at the US Department of Labor (DOL). DOL does not have a tracking system in place for LCAs that are pending. " Today is 27th Oct .. and still he don't have any updates.... !! Pl advice, what am I missing .
madhu418 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 LCA is a required doc for apply H1B petition. LCA does have a tracking number. you can check it online at icert.doleta.gov Please verify if your employer applied for H1B petition with USCIS after receiving a certiied LCA or not? (Most applications that i know of are rejected by USCIS without approved LCA.) If your attorney already applied for H1B then ask for the USCIS reciept number.

I know that the H1b transfer is yet to be initiated as attorney is yet waiting for the LCA approval. I guess.. now is the high time to get LCA tracking # from him or move ahead with other opportunity in hand.
greenerpastures2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 My LCA was applied on September 25, 2013. I have checked the website http://icert.doleta.gov with my case number every day since then and it still says 'In Process'. So as of today October 28, 2013 it is still not certified. Normally it takes 7 days! But others who filed their LCA in the past 10 days are getting their LCA's certified. What should I do? Should I ask my immigration lawyer to re-file the LCA? Does anyone know when LCA's filed in September will be certified? Very frustrated and worried.
srinathchowdary Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 LCA's are getting quickly who filed on 18th october. I got 3 more friends applied and they got approvals as well
Mins_N Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 This is really getting delayed now. Mine was filed on 26th Sept and now its been more than a month!!! Anyone else waiting for approvals from 24th-27th sept period?
Raghu_N Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Mine applied on OCT 18 and I got approval on OCT 28... It looks like people who filed between sept 24th-27th having delays...
