FAQs – All you need to Know !
Over the years, we have observed that prospective H1B visa seekers are always looking for certain pieces of information. We have grouped such information and created FAQs as listed below :
When will H1B Visa filing season start for Fiscal year(FY) 2014 ?
H1B visa filing season for fiscal year 2014 starts from April 1st, 2013. USCIS did a press release confirming the same.
How to find H1B Visa 2014 Sponsors ? Various Ways to find H1B Sponsoring companies
Finding right H1B Sponsor can be a very daunting task. There are few options to find sponsors like checking the H1B Sponsors Database and randomly contacting employers, working with IT outsourcing companies, looking at options in American Universities, Networking with friends. Each of these options are explained in this article :
How to find H1B Visa 2014 Sponsors ? Avoid Fraud
Why do we call H1B Visa 2014, when the petitions are filed in 2013 ?
USCIS operates on a fiscal year basis instead of calendar year ( Jan 1 to Dec 31st). Its fiscal year starts from October 1st and ends on September 30th. On that lines, USCIS’s fiscal year for 2014 starts from October 1st, 2013 and lasts until September 30th, 2014. So, though we file H1B petitions in April of 2013, they are counted towards H1B visa fiscal year 2014 and everyone calls it in short form as H1B visa 2014.
What is H1B visa 2014 Cap count for Regular quota and Masters Quota ?
If you are not aware of H1B cap count, it is the congressionally mandated numeric limits for H1B petitions based on category. Regular quota is for anyone who meets H1B visa requirements and Masters quota is specifically for students who have a Masters degree from US University. Typically, below are the numeric limits… ( we had these H1B cap limits set in 2004, if any changes by USCIS, we will update this page)
- Regular Quota Cap – 65,000
- Masters Degree Quota Cap – 20,000
Also, typically USCIS sets aside 6,800 visas for Singapore and Chile Free Trade agreement filings, which is H1B1 Program. Also, read article All about H1B Caps – Basics Calculations, Lottery
H1B Visa 2014 filing deadline – What is the last date ?
Well, there is no set deadline as such by USCIS. They start to accept petitions from April 1st, 2013 and will continue to accept H1B petitions until the H1B cap (85,000) is reached. It can vary based on the H1B visa demand.
- For H1B Visa 2012, the cap was complete on November 22nd,2011
- For H1B visa 2011, the cap reached on January 26th , 2011
Will there be Lottery for H1B Visa 2014 ?
This is most commonly speculated question by many H1B seekers. Due to very high demand and hype for H1B workers, we had lottery in some of the previous years. But we do not know, we just have to speculate based on past data and economic conditions. As done in previous years, here is our analysis:

What will be H1B visa 2014 filing fee ? Any changes ?
There has not been any changes to the filing fee for the fiscal year 2014. Check out the article : H1B visa 2014 filing fee – Who Pays for what ?. In general, it can range from $1,575 to $4,325 based on the number of employees ( this does not does not include attorney fee and premium processing fee).
International Students – Can we do Change of Status ( COS) from F1 Visa to H1B visa for FY 2014 ?
Yes, international students pursing their Bachelors, Masters or PhD programs from US Universities, who may be working on OPT, can file a H1B Visa petition to USCIS with Change of Status(COS) option. The advantage of COS from F1 visa to H1B visa is that you can continue to work after OPT expiration starting from October 1st, 2013 without leaving the country. You have to do the COS before your OPT expires to maintain legal status in America.
How soon Can I start working, if I file for H1B visa 2014 fiscal year ?
One can start working from October 1st, 2013 , if you have an approved H1B petition. You may need to get H1B visa stamping done, if you file your petition from overseas and wish to come to America on H1B visa.. Unlike, if you are filing for a COS by staying in US, you can start to work without leaving US for H1B visa stamping.
What is current H1B visa 2014 cap count ?
The H1B season for FY 2014 will begin on April 1st, 2013. We will keep track of the USCIS cap count updates with analysis.

Receipt date 28th April
RFE 3th September
RFER 22 Nov
Approval 13 dec
what was your RFE about?
Hi Saurabh,
I was on L1B visa with I-94 expiring on May 31st 2013. My employer filed for H1B on April 1st 2013 with COS. My employer also filed the L1B extension (and L2B extension for spouse) on time. On November 1st 2013 my L1B extension denied and approved H1B with COS (L1B to H1B) valid from November 1st 2013. On September 27th 2013 I filed I539 (L2 to H4 COS) for my spouse. Her COS got approved on November 26th 2013 and her I-94 has valid from date as November 19th 2013. She got new i-94 as well. However since her L2B extension was denied with my L1b extension on November 1st 2013 I have below two questions:
Questions –
1) Since my spouse L2B extension was denied on November 1st 2013 and COS to H4 was valid from November 19th 2013. Was she out of status for the period 11/01/13 to 11/18/13.
Note: I filed I539 in SEP prior to expiry of L2B
2) Should her I-94 been from 11/01 as well?
Thanks,
Sunil

My Case EAC13148***** has finally moved to ‘Post Decision Activity’. It was in RFERR status from Sep. 27 and I had lost hope.
My suggestion, have patience and keep faith in Almighty.
Congrats H1B!!.Have you converted it to premium?? OR is it regular processing?
What was your RFE about ?
Hi All,
I have applied for my h1b and got and RFE against client letter and my education evaluation on august 9, i worked with the top most MNC in india. my case cordinator later asked my to submit previous organization letter dipicting my skillset againts for my education, i have done 4 year graduate diploma in Interaction design from a reputated collage.
My previous employers straight away refused to provide anything on thier letterhead, after a while my case manager gave me different format werein i needed to get a sign of my supervisor or collegues from my previous emloyers stating my skillset.
Travelling within differetnt cities and getting the sign of supervisor on an notarized affidavite was a success.
I submitted that affidavite to my case manager and they later on gave that to third party for evalution,.
My RFE finaly went on 1st nov 2013 and its in RFERR since then, till date i am waiting for my approval.
Now, my question is. how relieable is the affidavite and will it work as i have 12 + 4year diploma and further 4.5year EXP.?? Does anyone in this forum experienced similar RFE and went through this procedure??
My employer planing to Push my case to PP, as thier is urgent requirement in Jan, Will this kinda RFE will have further Pitstops??
Your advise would be appricieated.. thanks..
Hi,

Anyone on the same boat….
Yes, We are…EAC13142524** RFERR pending since Oct 18th.
my spouse also waiting for approval since oct 20th…
I am also RFE RR since oct 24 . RFE was on education eval . Mine is EAC13143*** . Any chances of approval left or USCIS finding reasons to deny ??
HI all,
i recently went for chennai counsolate along with family
After few questions they asked for proj doc or client letter
i did not have client letter or project detail documents from the petitioner.
later i was given the blue 221g from asking for the above documents. and the VO said that its not my fault, they required documents from petitioner to further proceed
They did not take any of the documents from me ,
wanted to ask what are my chances now?
Whether do they take any documents from people for whom visa is been issued?
Blue slip should not be an issue based on my experience..Once you get the documents you can submit it along with the passport and you should get it stamped..
Did the VO mentioned that you have to come again for stamping? I guess No..
Hi Dear,
I faced the same issue in chennai during my interview, I am still waiting.
He asked project description and cleint letter for me also and gave 221 g.
Please send me an email [email spam] if you like to discuss.
Regards
Allen

Dear Friends,
I had got approval notice in October. The date of birth was wrong. We raised a service request to get it changed. Now my case status has moved to acceptance status with the below mentioned message.
” On December 10, 2013, an amended notice on this case was mailed describing how we will process your case”
Can you please let us know if that means they have mailed the changed approval form?? or they have started processing the request???
On December 5, 2013, your address was changed relating to the I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER that you filed. Please check our website at for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.
Still waiting to hear from them. God knows why are they taking so much time to resend the document.
Its really frustrating now. Can’t take it anymore. Feel like just leave US and start a new life. whole year has gone. Still no signs of H1B. My 60 days in RFE-RR will be over by 25th jan……….ohh know so late. Then also not sure wat will happen. One thing is certain if i get another rfe i am going back for sure. Feels like i am in a prison, specially in this winter season:(:(.
I feel your pain however you can leave and wait elsewhere. You have to contact USCIS and tell them where you are going.
My case has been on RFERR since October 3rd, I am on day 69 now!!

Hi All,
My RFE reply last date is 5th Dec and status is still RFE.
I asked employer and he said that RFE response submitted on time. he also said that package is with USCIS now. I belive that package received by USCIS on 4th Dec.
So my question is how many days USCIS takes to change status from RFE to RFERR.
Thanks.
Hello All,
I’m waiting for my H1 visa approval and would really appreciate if anyone can clarify this for me.
Here is my journey so far:
Receipt on 8 April 2013
REF on Aug 12
Status update to REF response review on Nov 6 ( last action as of 12/4/13)
Center: EAC
My petition is not yet approved on 12/4/13
1.If approve (after 12/4/13) will the H1 I-94 be valid from 1 oct 2013 or from the day of the approval ( ie after 12/4/13) ?
2.The bottom line is that I recently got my H4 approved (COS) on Nov 16 and not sure what will be my status as per “last action rule” ( if my H1 is a approve later).
I would really appreciated if anyone have got there H1 approved after the 1st of October and let me know the date I-94 is valid from on the approved notice.
Thanks in advance
Its starts from the day of your approval.
My H1B was approved on Oct 30th, so my start date was also Oct 30th.
I hope this helps..
Thanks for the Clarification. So I understand that your I-94 is valid from 30-oct 2013 on your approval notice.
Regards
Yes.. That’s correct
Hello,
My H1 petition is approved. I need to plan for my visa stamping. I had applied H1 through a small consultant. He doesn’y have any project in hand and I would need to hunt my contracting opportunities once am in US. My skill has good demand in US but I would like to find an opportunity while I am in India.
My question is if I go for stamping with the current petition in hand and gets through with it then if i find any other consutant who has a project and is willing to do h1 transfer then can I use the same stamping once my h1 is transferred while am in india or I need to go for another stamping with the new employer?
Thanks.
My skill has good demand in US? what is ur skill
All,
After 3 months of RFE received, it is not responded by my employer.
my USA dream is over..!
All the best to you all…!
same here!!! my 2 months in PP case will get over in december……he is nt submitting rfe :(((
I am afraid to be in the same case…I am just wondering why they are not submitting the evidences??
coz they don’t have the evidence. Mine is a consultancy and RFE is about submitting direct client contact number. He can’t submit. 🙁
Hi,
They have issued Blue slip for me in the consulate during VISA interview and they had asked for Police Clearance Certificate. Do anyone have idea on how to get the PCC.
1. Do I need to get that directly from the nearest police station?
2. Do I need to obtain from Regional Passport office?
Also, does anyone have the format for the PCC.
Thanks.
Could you please tell why did they asked for police verification at the time of your interview ? Until unless if it is personal then it is fine. I am asking because I’ve not heard about any such questions during H1B visa interview.
What was the clearance certificate for?
Step 1 Register through the Passport Seva Portal. (Click on “Register” link under the Apply section on the Home Page).
Step 2 Login to the Passport Seva Portal with the Login Id created in Step 1.
Step 3 Click “Apply for Police Clearance Certificate” link.
Step 4 Fill in the required details in the form and submit.
Step 5 Click the “Pay and Schedule Appointment” link on the “View Saved/Submitted Applications” screen to schedule an appointment.

Any body knows how to handle FNU issue. All my US documents are FNU and My full name. My whole name is my full name section on my passport . And last name section is left blank, on visa they put everything in last name and made me FNU, Now i have to apply for H4 for my wife, Thinking what to do ? get it corrected or apply as it is and get it corrected later on .. any body having any idea on that ?????
@FNU issue : you mean your I797 has issues?? I also faced the same issue. DOB is wrong in I94 part attached at the end of I797 approval form. My attorney has raised a service request. It has been a month. There has been no update. I am not sure if it has to be corrected now or later. But it is like giving a chance to VO at an embassy. If you have time, get it corrected. If you think the time is tight, go ahead and hope for the best.
i am in US, i got my I797, no issues with that. i am thinking of going to india and after that i would have to schedule an interview so was thinking of any issues or concerns that i should be aware of

Hi,
Please let me know if any one got their visa approved after 60 days
of their RFERR.
Is there any chance of getting approval once completion of 60 days RFERR??
What is the Mandatory experience for H1b approvals..Is it like 4 years???
Please respond.
Dear friends,
I’ve got my H1B approved. The H1B was filed by a new employer. I’m yet to go for stamping. New employer wants me to go for stamping at the earliest. I’m planning to go for stamping in December.
However, my current employer wants me to travel to Mexico for 10 days in Januaury. Will it be possible to travel to mexico after h1b of new employer is stamped on my passport?? Please answer me. It will be helpful to decide.
Please note that I can’t extend my stamping beyond january. The new employer will not agree.
Hello
My case is denied due to client letter. My employer told me that he will reopen my case. Is there any positive chances that i can get through? please reply me
No: WAC13*******
No way. You are dead.
Hi Depressed,
Don’t worry, if you can get the things asked for in the RFE or the denial, that is any extra evidence, which you could not furnish with your original petition, like that of a client letter or the SOW (Statement of Work) between the vendor and the client and if you could appeal within 33 days of the denial notice, I am sure you will have a positive response, but the wait time for the processing of an appeal ranges anywhere between 3-6 months,
All the best,
Thanks 🙂
You are welcome.
Asshole! Let’s cheer!

I proposed filing an E-Request with my employers and the lawyers advise me that it’s not a good idea. What’s the chance that they will deny my case if I raise an E-Request? Will the outcome be the same if I carry on waiting. This is killing me!
raise a erequest yaar!!!
Any body know how much time USCIS gives to employer for responding the RFE?
wiase 60 se 90 deta hey USCIS. but i would suggest you to reply as soon as possible. samjhe bache…!
Hi saurabh,
My H1b cap exempt petition was processed in Premium processing after the RFE Response i got result in 2 days i.e today it changed to post decision activity approved and after 3 hours it moved to decision though it’s approved…Please confirm if this changes has any thing unusual
Hi All,
My case is in RFE response review from last 2 days. I have seen i this forum people are waiting since 2 month in this status. Whole year is gone waiting n waiting… 2 months more 🙁 🙁
Don’t worry boy.. Some of them are getting in less than 15 days under RP and for people like me its taking more than 21/2 months from RFERR..
Abey yahan logon ke 6 7 mahine se initial review me pade hain aur tujhe RFERR ki padi hey. Dekh upar rajjo ne comment kiya hey..! abhi tak uski initial review me hey.. Logon ki taqlif samaj aur apni taqlif bhul ja.. that is the only solution.
Sure i am waiting for lot of updates from you. Thanks a ton
Did they re open your case after the approval? They tried to send the approved documents but it came back, just like mine.
I am not sure whether they re-opened or not. I will update you as soon as I receive my docs.
I dont understand why they take so much time to resend the same document. When did you get your approval decision? Mine was on 21st Oct
The first time I got approval in the first week of oct.
Please pray.. something good happens for me too. I spoke to employer, They said USCIS wants more time to prepare documents to resend.
Sure, I will. I understand what you were going thru.

Any idea what your status means? have they send the document? Any updates from your attorney or employer?
yes Sam, They happen to send me a duplicate form.

This means they are sending you the approval letter again. Congrats!!
Hopefully!! Keeping fingers crossed.
