Premium processing H1B online status changed from RFE to initial review

Hi,

My new employer applied for premium processing on 10th April 2013. The online status changed from ACCEPTANCE --> RFE on 15th April. The online status changed again from RFE --> Initial Review on 17th April with the message "On April 17, 2013, the 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. A notice was sent on this date explaining the specific reason for stopping the premium processing of your case. This notice will contain detailed information on further action required by you. Your premium processing receipt notice contains contact information for direct inquiries on your case" message.



But my employer has not received any RFE from USCIS. Did anyone went through similar situation. If so, can you tell me if your application was approved or denied?



Thanks!!

If it indeed was in RFE, then employer/attorney should receive the RFE notice through email soon. Paper notice may take 1-2 weeks (or more) to come through.

Saurabh,

Thanks for your reply…
My employer has not received RFE notice yet. I am worried as the status showed RFE -> Initial Review with clock stopped message.

It should be RFE-> RFE response review -> initial review right.

Thanks!

it doesn’t matter. You are good… your employer will get the notice.

My application also went through this stage.

gaganthapar,

thanks for the reponse, i really appreciate it.
did your case went from Acceptance -> RFE -> Initial Review (clock stopped) and your employer did receive RFE notice? what happened later? After rfe reponse from your employer, did the status change to rfe response review?

Thanks!

my employer just received it yesterday…

so not a big deal, your employer will receive something soon.

gaganthapar, is your status showing initial review with clocked stopped message?

yes, my employer missed something. It’s also a possibility that your lawyer or employer have received the notice from USCIS and they don’t need your intervention to fix whatever that have to.

So you cant contact your employer instead of worrying :slight_smile:

you got selected in the lottery. Celebrate that instead of worrying about your RFE :slight_smile:

I am cap exempted…
Thanks!

Hi, My employer filed my fresh H1-b, on 10th 2013 it was acceptence, on 19th it was in RFE, to day i just checked it changed to Initial Review with

My employer said they received RFE, but he is not sharing what is it about. He received RFE after 5 days since the status changed from RFE. You will receive RFE soon.
