How soon should I start planning for H1B Visa 2015 ?
[ Updated : H1B Sesaon is over for FY 15, plan for next year FY 2016 ] Well, there is nothing like too early… Getting a good H1B Sponsor can be a challenge these days. You need to find a job that fits your profile and find a sponsor that has a job for you. Some employers want to test out the capabilities of the candidate before they plan to sponsor H1B Visa. Typically, they would like students with masters from US work for them on internship or co-op. If they like the candidate then they will sponsor H1B visa. If you are planning to land in US from overseas countries like India, it could be even challenging to find a good sponsor. Maybe you would need to work with global IT services companies and make your way up. It can involve lot of internal process to get the process initiated… You are never early…. Read Step by Step Plan to Apply for H1B 2015
How do I find Sponsors for H1B visa 2015 ?
This is probably the most asked question. It can be a challenge to find a good sponsor. We have written quite a few articles on this topic. The fundamental concept of finding a good employer does not change. You can use our H1B Visa Sponsors Database and search for sponsors in a city or zip code. Check out the above links under 2015 latest news and updates for the current year’s article to find sponsors. You can also, read our last year’s article : How to find H1B Visa sponsors, avoid fraud
What would be the H1B Filing fee for Fiscal year 2015 ?
There has not been any changes in the filing fee for the past couple of years. It did not change for fiscal year 2014. The H1B Visa 2015 filing fee can range anywhere from $1,575 to $4,325 based on the size of the company (number of employees ). Also, the attorney fee can range from $700 to $3000. If you go for premium processing again that is $1225. You can check out the detail break up of fee at : H1B Visa Filing Fee Details – Who Pays for What ?
H1B Visa Immigration Reform – CIR – Proposed Changes ? The comprehensive immigration reform has not passed yet. But, lets say, if it gets passed, the below changes may happen.

Hi All,
Any good news from CA centre for RQ / RP / CA. Folks share the once u received the receipt . Finger Crossed…
Hi,So many people told that Non-AD ,Regular Processing has started today.Is it correct or fake news?Anyone got recipt number?
its true sowmya… yesterday few people got their confirmation.
i heard only 2 guys till now . who said they got receipt for NON-AD/NON -PP.
There are more ?
Are Vermont EACxxxx cases trackable , if we replace EAC with WAC , as when I did for my case , the description did not mention CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER , as I believe normally for WAC cases it shows that , anyone any idea?
Actually , you can ignore that , as I see it shows the service center name , only in the Acceptance stage , not in Initial
Review
Has anyone got reciept for PP for Texas????
regular receipt arrived yesterday but DSO said the SEVIS are definitely not updated and cannot process OPT extension. anyone meeting this situation?
Hi guys,
Is that only selected ones will get a receipt number?
Best luck to you all!
Right… Only the ones selected, the rest would get their packages back…..
Thanks a lot!! Good luck to you!!!
I haven’t got words from lawyer, nor have received any receipt, but the $325 application fee check to USCIS was put on hold and pending transfer in my bank account, which means they deposit the check. And it says it’s by “VSC FIELD OFFICE PAYMENT CCD 0162 “. Does that mean I’m selected?
yes!!
Hi Guys,
Good news from me. I just checked with a advisor in the International Student Office of my school. My servis was pending to be extened to Oct. 2014. It seems like I was selected in lottery. AD\RP\CA.
If your guys are too concerned about the result, check your servis status from the school which you applied OPT with.
Always remember that it is not the end of world if you are refused in H1b lottery or H1b further review. It probably means your future would be better in your home country. I already started networking and job hunting in my home country to prepare for the back-up last week. Cheer up and be positive!
may I know what they said about that? cause my school OIS said they won’t start extension until get an approval receipt, and what I got as an EAC1…. is not a confirm.
My advisor told me that was on pending. Once you have the EAC number, you might be able to check your status soon.
received ad rp vt receipt number yesterday.
Congratulations!! please share the EAX14XXX5X part of your receipt #, if you don’t mind.
Anyone any idea , why EAC reciept no’s are not trackable on USCIS web site?
Its killing me too. Got my receipt last Tuesday. Its still not trackable!
To all the guys who r spreading false new’s…Please stop spreading false new’s and scare the guys who r waiting.. i was asked to wait till 28 for PP receipts from my attorney …i am an employer and received AD/PP/VT and NON-AD/PP/VT for my consultant’s yesterday ..so there is no rule that all PP is done……..after 28th u can spread this false new’s….
You are right, thanks for spreading good words.
Thanks KB. Are you still receiving/waiting for more PP receipts today?
Ya i am still waiting on 6 more…
Hi kb
My employr has applied for h1 b which is act a vry smal cmpany.
.is there any chance to get in?
Lottery process is random and hence everyone has an equal shot.
However, given that it’s a Government system, I am not sure if big companies get involved in any lobbying. This is just a guess and if true it’s non-ethical and not to mention illegal. I wouldn’t encourage any further speculations over this point.
Did you get them by email of mail?
Email..
Thanks for the info KB…..
USCIS has already completed recipt for all PP application on both CA-VT Center they already sent and email and paper mail lat week. If your Attorney not choosen email option which is very rare they must have recived application by now. So Its all depends how busy your employer or Attorney is. But chances for AD_PP is almost over no more new recipt will generate by uscis now.
If they don’t generate how i received email on Monday….
Accept it…
I believe we can still have hopes until this weekend… Since KB is an employer, he was the one who has got the receipts for about 3-4 employees on Monday….So lets wait and see… It will be all clear by this weekend and we can start accepting the fact that we are not in
can anyone tell me did any one for reciept number for Texas employer??
Houston here and still waiting 🙁
Hi all,
Is there still hope for AD/RP/VT people. I saw lot of people getting receipts yesterday. My company is based in Boston, as far as I know no one in my company is notified as yet.
Same case here. I am getting worried now
They are still generating receipts date APRIL 10TH. Today WAC wac1414250294. so they are more receipts to send from uscis . So best of luck to all
Anyone got PP non-AD for Texas employer??
CPT schools are;
Goldey Beacom- delaware
University of North America Virginia- Virginia classes only weekend
Sullivan university
Hostos Community College New York m
Emerson college-MA
Sullivan, ITU,
University of Harrisburg,
KSI in chicago
Applications will close soon
can you explain a little bit more about this?
USCIS will start making decisions for PP starting from April 28th. Before that they are just sending the receipt, who got selected in lottery.
Two steps:
1st: to inform who are selected for H1B
2nd: Decision
2nd A: PP, should be done in 2 weeks
2nd B: Regular: according to center’s processing time standards
Today I received my H1B receipt number which is start with EAC***… that means I am selected for fiscal year 2015.
But my company told me that last week some reasons the bank closed their account and USCIS couldn’t cashed those filling fees. Now my sponsor company using a different bank account and they are willing to issue new checks for my file again.I am wondering how this problem will be solved or does it going to hurt my case anyway??Already I have received my receipt number.
Not sure how this works since you already have the receipt number … but most cases I have seen if the check is issued with incorrect fee or there are any other issues with it they simply reject the application … don’t mean to scare you but this is what I have seen so far … I would say keep in touch with your employer/lawyer for updates ….
Was your application AD/PP or AD/RP and where is your lawyer located ?
AD/RP..NYC
Don’t know what will happen. My lawyer is not working for EASTER. Hopefully can catch him by tomorrow. I am trying to talk to an agent from USCIS…
My suggestion will be issue and extra cheque whatever fees you due with ,and send along with copy of your receipt to same address and put a note on the envelope :”payment enclosed “and send it out as fast as you can, send with fedex for next day delivery.so you should not be in fault from any point and lawyer will raise his hand if in case they bounced cheque and they reject your application.they might have issued receipt coz they have deposited cheque but haven’t got notification for bounced cheque because of easter bank holidays.so if you sure your previous cheque wont be able to deposit than send how i said.nothing you gonna loose coz if by chance previous cheque is valid than they wont deposit your new cheque and just they will discard new if they dont need.in your hand don’t take a chance.i would have done that as a best plan B
My wife just got hers this morning.
For those with PP still waiting, hang in there, there is still hope!
DID SHE GET EMAIL OR POSTAL MAIL? PLS LET US KNOW
I saw that a bunch of the ad/pp guys that were waitining got their receipt in the past couple of days. Congrats to you all!
How many of us are still waiting? I’m trying to not lose hope but it’s becoming harder with each passing day. Also, any of the ad/pp applied through BAL global?
Yep, still waiting here. AD/PP/Vermont. Do you know if Vermont is issuing PP receipts today?
Same situation. Still waiting.
AD/PP/CA still waiting!
It is over for all premium processing cases. If you have not heard anything either ur attorney hasn’t received the package for producing wrong email address or you were not selected.
If you are advanced degree or are on opt with premium processing and ur Sevis is not updated you were not selected.
I spoke to my lawyer yesterday and he said he was still receiving receipts from other cases and that PP cases still have some time at least until the 28th. Stop spreading false news.
The news is not false. Your lawyer is no longer receiving emails. It is paper mail. Which goes back to why I am saying
Based on what do you get those news? I really wonder.
Saburah can you confirm whether this is speculation please? It’s really important that I know.
Please stop spreading false new’s and scare the guys who r waiting.. i was asked to wait till 28 for PP receipts from my attorney …i am an employer and received AD/PP/VT and NON-AD/PP/VT for my consultant’s yesterday ..so there is no rule that all PP is done……..after 28th u can spread this false new’s….
Can you please tell me how you know this. I am so crushed now, this is the final no then I guess ;(
And what evidence do you have to back it up? Vermont was still generating PP receipts as of yesterday.
Hey a**hole. Either you backup your statements with evidence, or you stop scaring people on here who are still waiting and who may still have a chance.
Hey, my company applied for multiple H1Bs and some of us received their receipt numbers for non advanced/ regular processing. Are the others just out of luck or does USCIS send these out randomly and there is still hope?
Scared dont be scared. For Non-AD & Reg its just started….it gonna take some more time.
Even if our employer is already receiving some receipt numbers for other employees? I just assumed USCIS sends it out at the same time to the same employers 🙁
It’s game over. I’m in the same boat. I don’t think it’s gonna come now.
Aa, are you Advanced and regular processing? I haven’t heard of a case that a company got receipt numbers at different times 🙁
Buddy which company are u from?
Got my receipt yesterday (April 21)
AD/non-PP/VT
Congrats Wei! Where is your lawyer located?
Thanks, it is a new york attorney
Thanks! I am at NYC
Guys
since this website has been super useful when i was waiting, just wanted to give a heads-up
Got my notification through the lawyer last night for AD/PP/VT
so there is still hope for a lot of us
Congrats!
This is absolutely awesome news. I am also AD/PP/VT and haven’t heard yet so I’m really praying that today may be the day for some good news!!!
EMAIL OR POSTAL MAIL
email
The lawyer got it and sent me a note. Didn’t get the receipt number from him yet
Also AD/PP/Vermont. Seems that Vermont is somewhat slower than Cali center.
Just got email from my employer that I got selected in lottery 🙂
AD/PP guys you still hold a chance…so dont lose hope.
All the best everyone!
congrats !!!
is It CA/VT ??
@SaiSri: Thanks 🙂
@Rahul: Am from Michigan. So I guess it should be CA
whats ur receipt no.
Do not have receipt no. yet. Have to ask my employer.
do you guys know how waitlist works for H1-B.
Hi guys,
hear my situation please. I called my school’s immigration office (DSO) last Friday and they said congratulations on your selection that it appears there is a cap-gap extension on your SEVIS record. So my OPT ends on June 15th and it gets extended till September 30th. So I started waiting for the actual news from either my lawyer or employer but nothing yet till as of now.
Should I wait until April 28th anyways or the game is already over? What you guys say?
Please stop acting annoying on this forum. You have been selected and you are asking silly questions. People are serious here
who do you think you are and what makes you think that it was a silly question?
I’m worrying about my situation like you guys do! and asking what might be wrong since I haven’t heard anything by now!? Because I’m an AD/PP/CA I should have heard at least something so far
Your game is over man!!!
Please Ask this question to your lawyer or employer Once you see SEVIS Extended to Sep 30th means you selected in lottery. If your employer still saying he didn’t get any reciept means you need to change your employer ASAP as its looks like they are hiding or delaying your recipt intentionally.
That’s the truth of most of the DESI IT FIRM.
but what would be the reason for them to hide or delay my receipt intentionally?
Could be anything I know friend he applied in Premium last year after 2-3 week he still didnt get any news from employer or attorney he finllay got recipt from school. Their main interest is they dont have time to give an update or answer their call immediately.
You selected already this time so enjoy and just read others comment if you want to. Dont panic you got it just wait for Recipt number
I honestly appreciate your calm answers. Thank you.
Yeah, this kind of crappy guys should not even allow to file petitions
Hey don’t worry you are selected. My college didn’t shared any info but employer did . But he didn’t share any receipt number just said looks like you are selected in lottery .. I felt irritated thinking why is he saying looks like he shud be saying I m selected .. But your college gave you with a sevis end date what proof do you need to make sure .. Just relax .. Mine was regular and my friend did premium but no response for her.. She tried asking college her employer etc so there are people with no news at all so we are in a better position ..
It means that you are stupid and dont deserve to get a H1B. Hard Luck
Looks like the clock has started ticking for Regular/Non AD..isnt it too early as estimated?
so i see 2 guys NON-AD/NON -PP got receipts is that correct.
Hello all waiting guys,
We all are passing through very thrilled & hearttouching phase of life.
Here in this phase, if someone posts “I got my receipt, finally the wait is over”, we waiters’s heart would react like ” I didn’t get, finally the hope is getting lost”
And believe me that would be a very stoned feeling as even we can’t do anything in this case. We tried hard, got the very good job in US & finally the result will be like ” stay in ur hone country as u r not through the lottery “.
Oh my god !!! Can’t you show a little mercy on us as I just want to ask one question to you ,y lord. WHAT DID SELECTED GUYS DO IN THEIR LIFE SO THAT U GAVE THEM CHANCE AND WE ARE LEFT LIKE THIS !!!
Even god is not with us, u r bravely going through this tough situation for which even god can’t answer. Cheerssssss to you allllll….
– a non selected guy
Hey Chaitanya,
If I remember good, you are also Ogletree Deakins, PP, vmware, I am right ?
I am at the same point than you, and didn’t receive anything yet. I think that TT was in this situation as well.
Anybody from Ogletree Deakins, PP, vmware went through yet ?
My case was also filed through Ogletree Deakins. I have not heard back anything as yet.
Lets keep our hopes alive until we hear otherwise.
“Don’t lose hope” is what i keep saying to myself.
Waited so long, let’s do that for some more time. He may give us a chance
Do not take it on yourself like that Amigo. We are all in the same boat. All of us had to struggle and get a dream job and then no selection. Think positive, this is not the end of the world, we have places to go, places to see. The whole world is out there for us professionals. Best Wishes and Stay Safe.
Hi Chaitanya,
I understand you feelings since I have been thru this but I would advise you to don’t loose your hope. This is not the END OF WORLD ! Try next year or plan something else.
Dear CHAITANYA,
I couldn’t resist myself to reply to your comment. In life these experiences/events make us stronger. Initially it’s heartbroken, but only thing matters in our life is KEEP FIGHTING. LUCK is something uncontrollable by us. Best wishes to all of them – who got it and who didn’t.
Still waiting
@CHAITANYA
Don’t make it as a END OF THE WORLD thing. Last year I had applied and then my lawyer come to know that he made mistakes in LCA and send the application again, by that time it was over and returned my application.
In this case who should I blame for? I looked my option, talked to my employer, figured the situation and looked for our options and acted accordingly.
Everyone here worked hard to reach here and so all of us deserve same chance.
Keep it calm my friend. Stay tuned and look for options what you wanna do.
many of the selected guys including me waited for one more year to be picked up in the lottery. we joined schools again. we paid fees. we could not take a vacation to India as our visas expired. I know many of my friends who are in the same situation. There are few of my friends who were picked and got rejected last year and had to apply again this year and didn’t yet receive any confirmation.Don’t be a cry baby. Many of them whose Visas got picked this year had enough struggle.
Same boat as a lot of others on here. AD/PP/Vermont still waiting.
Does anyone know if Vermont is still generating PP receipts as of yesterday/today?
Yesterday my lawyer received receipt my petition and it is AD/PP/VT
same here… they received it yesterday… non-AD/PP/VT
Phew… Nice to hear that and congrats guys.
Somebody posted below that it’s game over for AD/PPs so I thought maybe Vermont was already finished with PPs.
I wish I hasn’t read that forum… people started posting that it’s game over on friday (4/18), so at that point I had no hope at all…
That’s good advice. Better stay off this site until April 28
It is not over for PP. I received receipt for Ad/PP/VT yesterday. Keep positive and hope for the best –
Is anyone able to find case status for EAC… Receipt no. M still getting your case cannot bhi found …
I’m the same. When did you get your receipt number? Mine was last Wed.
I got mine yesterday… When did you get?
Ok last wed…. Hopefully we could get some update by April end
Guys,
I was following this forum from the day my employer applied for my H1B and at that point I lost all the hope. Good news come when you don’t expect them so DON’T LOSE HOPE!
Non-AD / PP / VT – EAC-14-135-5****
Not sure why it takes that long but I only got it today in the morning. I can’t ask the attorney what time they got the receipt but according to their process it happened at some point yesterday.
Congrats Jake!
Are there any hopes for PP still?
I don’t think so. I am waiting too. AD/PP/Working in Texas.
I would say yes at least untill 28th April !
Is anyone got update for Non AD/Regular Process?
Yes, I got by yest eve from my employer.
Receipt number WAC…..
Regular non AD
received date: April 10 and Receipt sent date: 17th April and
Last time I was not selected, so waiting for 1 year for this date. Thank you all for comments from which we got to know the status and situation.
All the best for everyone. Just believe in God!! You will be in.
Hi GoodLuck,
Congrats, is your’s Regular Process ?
Regular?? Non AD?? Are you serious??
Hello,
I’m kinda confused right now. I have read that USCIS will process H1B PP applicants on April 28, 2014 (source: http://www.uscis.gov/news/uscis-h-1b-premium-processing-begin-april-28 ). If that’s the case, why most of the people here are claiming that they got picked by the lottery? Please enlighten me.
I’m still waiting for the result of the lottery. I’m non-AD/PP/___. Working in healthcare industry. I hope I have people with the same situation as mine.
Good morning !
I applied under AD/PP/VT and still waiting for an answer. Even though many PP applicants received receipts last week, there were few who received receipts yesterday. Hence, we (PP) still have hope. Let’s retain hope until Apr 28.
Let’s see how many PP applicants are still waiting for an answer. Please reply.
Still waiting! AD/PP/VT.
Still waiting..Second time applied under REG/PP..last year and this year :(..no answer yet though some of my colleagues already received last week.
Waiting for Non-AD/PP/CA
Keeping my hopes up until the 28th
Still waiting…AD/PP/VT
Still waiting: AD/PP/VT
@usgrad. Same boat here. AD/PP/Vermont still waiting. Does anybody know if Vermont is issuing any receipts today? Anyway we can check?
Can someone confirm if there is any info regarding Wirpo or Infosys applicants, as the company helpdesk number for GI is not functioning may be intentional.. I would like to know if atleast a singke person has got his case updated or not…
I have a suggestion to make to all the NON Indian/Chines who might not able to get there H1b this year. You can push your employer to file your green card PREM Labor. You have to stay in school to keep your status valid. But in a matter of 12 to 16 month you can get your Green Card.
My case was same last 2 years I was not able to get a H1b. Then my employer filled my PREM Labor.Now my Labor approved and I am 6 month away from GC.
yes i am hoping for that…..but lets see..RP/NA here
But if we stay in school, how do we work
Yo have to find a school which offer CPT and you can use CPT as your EAD and you can work as long as your CPT is valid. But its hard to find such a school which offer you CPT for 40 hours a week and for unlimited time. Beware about the scam school in this process.
itsqashi – you mentioned that your PERM got approved. Don’t you also need I-140 (which takes 3 to 6 months) to be approved?
It’s funny you mention this, because I am going the exact same approach with my employer. I have already asked them to file my PERM and I-140 in the event that my H-1B is not approved. And you are correct that since there has been a lot less backlog in recent months, it will now only take 12-16 months for GC approval (non-Indian born).
Actually I think Chinese EB-3 applicants now only need to wait 1 to 1.5 years (same with the rest of the world).
Once you PREM Labor is approved, second step is your I-140 and if you filled as premium it only takes 15-30 days to got approve.
Yesterday CA generated more than 5000 receipts most of them dated April 10 and looks like NON-PP . So more receipts on there way guys . Best of luck too all 🙂
Hi Saisri,
How much time will it take to receive the receipt by the attorney/employer if the USCIS dispatched the same? Any idea? Pls let me know.
Mine is RP and Non AD.
Me too NON-AD/RP waiting . Usual usps First class mail should take 2-3 business day . So best of luck
Bro., this contains both AD and Non AD rite ?
yes right both AD/NON-AD .
Are you regular PP or regular non PP ?
Sorry I wanted to ask , Are you AD or non AD ?
I have been reading the comments in this forum for last two weeks. Still waiting.. Non Ad/Non PP/Vermont. Not selected last year. Waiting desperately for this year.. Fingers crossed…
Hello Aka,
How you conclude that Game is over for PP’s ?
Could you please explain?
Yesterday in CA center it was mostly RP receipt numbers. I tried with a bunch of numbers in different ranges and I only found one PP receipt number. Most of them are RP 🙁
I am NON AD/PP/VT.. Still waiting.. can i have hopes please ?
Same here. I guess there’s still hope till April 28th. Some people even received the receipt # later than April 15th (the PP starting date) last year so I think we have to hang on tight until May 15th or so (the day they issue the final result for PP)
Anyone with AD/PP/CA-VT is only hope is if they selected for Waitlist otherthan that I don’t see any hope based on last year experience as its too late already. But its also depends on your employer and Attorny they may be lazy and dont have much interest to inform you about your recipt. As I saw many cases like that in past. They will let your know little later whey their less work load for them.
How about the Vermont Center. Any PP receipts yesterday?
Still not able to see all comments..
Hi, Is anyone got update from VT/ RP ? I am still waiting …fingers crossed.
Still not able to see all comments..
Hello any one ?
I am non AD/PP/VT.. still we have any hopes on lottery ?
Please help me… this year is very crucial for me.
same boat..anybody having more information?
There are PP receipts being sent
Rajesh,
I am also on the same boat, for me also it is very crucial for me.
Still waiting, saw a comment that somebody in a similar situation received their receipt yesterday . So let’s retain hopes till 28th.
Non AD probability is around 38% only so think about it and make your backup plan ready.
All members,
If you have applied in FY-15 and are awaiting lottery result or have already received your result, then I request you to update/insert your case in the H-1B tracker here.
Around 100 users have already entered their info. The system’s success depends upon usage and data quality. So please enter your information and keep it updated (at times people lose interest after getting their receipts).
Thank you
Redbus2Us
Exactly , who all are benefited with this site has to provide some info to the tracker and make this site from better to best.
This will help going forward for analysis.

Hi Admin,
FYI, previous comment pages don’t display anymore.
Thank you. The fix was really quick 🙂
Can anyone provide a rough estimate about how many receipts have been issued so far?
By consider both the centers, i guess atleast 50k receipts would have been issued so far.
3k applications per day * 2 centers * 9 days
I think USCIS will issue receipts for most of the case by 28th april and starts Premium Processing. As USCIS send receipts in normal post mail for RP, whoever selected in lottery will get to know by End of April or May First week. Whoever getting receipts in may 3rd week onwards we can assume that may be from Waitlist.
+1… nearly 50-60 rough estimate.I agree with SAN.
Might be our guess might wrong,but hope not less than 40k applications processed.
Guys any one got approved for non-AD/RP ?
+1… Waiting for the same news!!! Might be by end of this week we will come to know something/probably next week is our turn!!!
I guess receipts might generated, but it might take time to reach.SO hopefully next week we can hear something.
