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 ?

I applied H1b visa through a consultancy for my wife last year and after 13 months it got approved today. She is in India right now and hold a valid H4 visa.
– Is it risk to go to h1b stamping in India. Instead, travel to US using her valid h4 visa and later request to change of status from H1b to H4
– Is there any other possible risk if we do COS, like request getting rejected, delay in getting SSN, difficulties in job hunt etc.
Please let us know your thoughts.
Appreciate your time.
Thanks,
Is there is anyone who received receipt number in the last few days? I have not heard anything yet!!
Even i don’t see any one reporting that they have received the receipt from California Service Center. This is giving me tension! Finger crossed!
AD/RP here…
Still waiting….It’s all over I guess 🙁
Hi Any updates about Non Ad RP? can we have hope till May 10th?
Last year I applied as Non-AD, RP and I was not selected in the lottery.. my package only came back in June!!! So until June, I did not know absolutely anything.
Do have any idea guys If somebody got RFE in Premium processing, how long it takes to show the decision status? Is it also within 15days? or it takes longer?
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Till last year they used to maintain a clock which keeps track of 15 days and they have to reply with in these 15 days rfe etc…this year I don’t see the clock but my guess they should reply back to you in 15 days.
Helo All
Ive applied for my H1B NON AD/PP and waiting for my result.
Congrats for those who got their receipt numbers. Only upon reading this forum i understand how pathetic this lottery system is especially for the bright minds who completed an advanced degree in US. I believe USCIS should remove the AD folks from lottery system and issue H1Bs purely based on their merit on a case by case basis. Let the NON AD folks from US, India and other countries fight for the lottery.
Completely Agree, AD folks have invested money, time and efforts to be eligible for it. They have well planned…did all the struggles to be in US. Just a lottery to decide all their hard work is absolutely unacceptable. They should be exempted from lottery…hoping, USCIS to realize it some day soon..!!
Non AD/ RP/ VT
Notice of acceptance received today.
Halleluiah! 🙂
Congrats!
Could you pl. share first 8 digits of receipt no.?
&
First letter of your first name & last name (please)
thanks,
Congratulations! May i know your receipt # leaving last 4 digits and also notice date? Thanks.
Yes please share the date you received the receipt from your attorney/employer. Thanks!
I just got update from big firm imigration team . Still there lot of hope…
If its filed under premium processing, then you should wait until May 16. If it’s under normal process, then you will need to wait a bit longer probably end of May – mid June.
That wait is for your packet to be arrive back to you. That is what they refer by waiting till may end.
Yes.. But they are still getting receipt for PP cases.
are they really? That’s good news..
My work requires me to be 100% focus. It is brain intense work. This h1b issue bothers me a lot. Is this your last chance? Do you have any plan b?
How long can you still work for your employer? Did you try to bring up the issue to your employer? What is your employer’s attitude? Would they try to help you stay?
Do you think about to ask about your attorney for directly applying for green card?
If you in US already then you have 2 option either find School that offer CPT from day 1 or Marry a US Citizen. Except this two there is 100% no other option available.
You are talking about direct file green card that does not give you authorization to work right away unless you qualify for EB1 which is very hard mostly impossible.
Sandra – first of all please calm down…. I stopped reading your comment after your 3rd question because my mind was already about to explode and had no idea how to even answer your questions…
You could sum up your questions all in one: It’s the end of the world, what should I do?
All sarcasm aside, I can understand how you feel. I am also AD/PP and was not selected in this year’s lottery. However, I have long stopped worrying about it because:
1. It’s bad for my physical and mental health
2. It disrupts my work and life
3. My life is not decided or defined by some random lottery
4. It’s boring getting stressed over something I can’t control
And yes, I did bring it up with my employer and attorney 2 weeks ago, long before April 28th. They are very supportive and understanding and calm. They said they are applying for another visa for me. Worst case is to transfer to Canada or UK. No big deal. I also asked them to apply for my green card too. My manager said yes. No big deal. Just get it over with and get on with you life.
I agree with Mueller. However, not all have an option to (a) apply for a different visa (b) work in other countries (transfer) (c) apply for GC and get it quickly within 12-18 months (d) have a work permit to wait until GC approval.
For some, going back to their home country is their only option.
Hey Mueller,
Do you know for sure you were not selected in the lottery? Did you get an actual mail with everything returned? I am asking because my fiance is in the same situation but his attorneys have asked him to wait and stay hopeful. I would appreciate it if you could clarify this. Also, I completely agree with what you said. I hope it all works out for you 🙂
Any update from TCS guys??
Is any one from lucy liu & associates got receipt numbers, I am still waiting here, I called the employer twice this week but no updated from him, seems I am out of the game. Any one from this law firm please update.

AD folks,
AD folks,
Been watching this forum for a while now (since last year). I know how nerve-wracking it is to wait for news regarding your H1-B petition. I went through this hell last year. Let’s hope H1-B cap is raised back to the levels it was in the early 2000’s. This would help mitigate this whole H1-B debacle. It’s always wise to have some fallback plans prior to mailing out your H1-B petition. This is especially true in the event your H1-B petition does not make it through the lottery.
I am PP, non AD and still didn’t get the receipt but also did not get the package back.. so no answer at all.. anybody in the same situation? I know everybody says it’s game over for PP, but I am still hoping…
Did PP people who were not selected get their package back via mail already?
I am in the same boat. i did receive my receipt number as you. I am PP NON AD too. I did not get my package back.
sorry did not receive my number yet
I know another friend who is also waiting still… it’s annoying.. last year I did regular processing and was not selected in the lottery.. this year I tried PP… and I am very irritated as well…If I don’t get it again, it just sux..
+1 add me in
+1 include me
Me too. 🙁
Me too , I am PP with AD and haven’t heard nothing yet —- loosing my hope
Don’t loose your hope if you did not get your package back yet.. but I am inpatient as well…
Still waiting.. AD/PP.. I don’t think there is any hope now. Keep checking with my school for Sevis update everyday but no change. So I think it is game over now. They will just start sending return packets in 2 wks. I guess. We really need a miracle now… only that can save us!
Me too on the same boat, not sure if there is any hope left or not. However, going through this site, I havent really seen very many Non Adv/PP cases. Just hoping that we all will hear back some positive news soon. fingers crossed!
Hope there is some news …But as things are looking now, not sure if we would have any news … Returning the package would be done only after May10th-15th I belv,….until then the Waiting game and sleepless nights will still be on for the folks who havent had any Info
please keep us updated if you have any news.. I also did not see a lot of people here with non AD, PP..
My lawyer already received notification for her other cases, also with PP.. but not mine.. she says, just wait, but she does not want to give an opinion on the chances of still getting a receipt notice.. she just says let’s wait and we will see..
Non-AD/ RP/ VT
After a long wait, finally got the news that the application has been selected. Attorney must have got it yesterday evening/ today’s morning. .So Guys …jus hold on…U’ll get the news pretty soon.
Receipt Number EAC-14-144-*****.
Received date: April 10 ; Notice Date: April 25th.
Thanks a lot to this forum.
f
I’ve heard that chances are reducing now daily – perhaps 50-50 now reducing to near zero by next Friday. This just sucks.
Are there any hope for Non AD , RP , california… ?
or all received the receipts…. I fed up asking lawyers,,,
they are not even responding…. 🙁
Same situation here also.
Anybody applied through Experis got any update ??
Hi ,
I am also waiting for RP/NonAD……is there any hope exist .. or ..the Game is end…?…I know most of you guys are in same situation…..Please post the current status …
Thanks,
Folks I checked about 50 receipts generated today @ VT, I guess non of them belong to H1B…. So its over @ VT. Hopefully all receipts should reach by next week.
I also see that few of them received Receipt # EAC14146XXXXX.. So only 3 more days receipts are left out, that is, EAC14147.., 14148…, 14149…
Fingers crossed….
Where do you check that receipts are issued?
There are hardly any activity on day 149 for H1b
so basically 147 and 148 are left….if i remember right, 147 was the day with maximum receipt generations (around 5-6k) and another 2k on day 148
out of these, may be around 70% were H1b received on April 10th., so around 5-6k remaining from EAC…this is our last chance! We should know by end of next friday (May 9th 2014). Otherwise “GAME OVER”
There is no backup lottery or waiting list….i really doubt! Time to start implementing plan B after May 9th…good luck all 🙁
Anyone from Wipro Bangalore????????????/
Yesterday it is showing post decision and today the status is back to decision. Is this happening to anybody else? My series eac141335xxxx.
Yup, happened to me. Went back to post decision activity later on though. WAC….
Yes It happed to me as well..it was in post decision for couple of hours and now it went back to decision…and it still in decision for two days
Mine got apporved today and currently in Decision status. I saw some of the posts yesterday that the status jumped to Post decision acitivity directly for some of our friends but mine sits in decision status. Not sure if USCIS isn’t ready to mail the approval notice to today. If your case is moved from post decision acitivy to decision that means USCIS isn’t ready to send the physical approval notice but your petition is apporved it will not get changed.
Did you guys get an email to your lawyer from USCIS saying it is approved? My employer is very bad at communicating.
Yes I got an email from my Lawyer
Hi Everyone,
There is a guy in this group who posted his query yesterday night(also posted in other blogs). He filed 10 H1B petitions and got 6 receipts so far… now his query is…. when and how he can transfer and ‘SELL’ other 5 H1 to his friends because he is very clear that he will use only one H1 to work.
I still couldn’t believe if such people really exist! Here genuine people are waiting for their luck to knock their door and this guys is thinking of making money out of it!?!?
does he even know what is H1?? Dude… H1 cannot be transferred or in your language….’you cannot SELL H1 to your friends’!
It would be totally unfair to mankind if he gets even one approval.
Easy Dude…He is simply making fun..
If you notice closely, he sarcastically framed all those sentences.
Its just a prank…
That guy is just being sarcastic and making fun of certain guys on here who proudly broadcast that they filed for 3 or 4 or even 5 petitions and still painfully waiting for 2 more receipts…
Such people do exist, unfortunately.
While the rest of us AD/PPs pack our bags.
I thought that USCIS gets rid of the duplicates though? So one person can actually receive 2 or more receipts? That’s beyond unfair!
There are a lot of trolls on this blog. Do not believe everything you read or hear on the internet.
Is CA generating receipts? Mine is RP and Non AD.
When can i expect any news? My employer/attorney is not giving any information.
Anyone Please reply.
The receipt are already generated . They already started sending receipts. I guess 70% is done . so we can expect with next week . After that the chance are very less maybe 1to 2%. Between me too waiting non-ad/rp/ca . Best of luck 🙂
Hi Sai Sri,
Mine RP/NON AD until what time we can keep the hopes?
As per me the best is till May 12 . After that there is still possibility of getting receipt but chance of getting as i said is 1 to 2% .
Agree…saisri..
Agreed…saisri..
@SAISRI You have remained extremely positive and kept your hopes high throughout this process. I really hope and pray you get it! You have been a positive influence to a lot through this process. That’s one thing to be proud of at least.
same here.. waiting.. non-ad /rp/ca
I got notification from my bank acc. en cash by VSC field office payment. Do you know what is that mean?
I heard like if our check is encashed means our H1 is picked.
You are selected through the lottery… Not let us know when did you apply and is it AD or NON AD – Premium or Regular
What are the reasons lead a case to be voided other than duplicate entry?
Any updates for CTS Chicago guys?
Finally got my recepit number WAC141***** 🙂 all the best for others who all are waiting..
Are you PP or RP?
Mine is Regular only.
Finally I received Recepit number …All the best to all..
Are you PP or RP?
Congrats & Thanks
Any AD guys still waiting?
THIS IS RIDICULOUS….AD FOLKS WAITING FOR RECEIPTS….
THIS SO UNFAIR.. 🙁
JUST CRYING EVERY NIGHT..THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE… 🙁 🙁
Same here buddy !!
Yeah it sucks.
Still waiting … check not yet cashed nor there is any update on my SEVIS. 🙁
I am losing all the hopes
I email my attorney. She said no information.
I didn’t go to work today. Feel I can’t concentrate to drive 1.5 hours to the company.
This is really killing me. I thought the chance for AD should be ok. But…,
don’t dare to bring up this issue to the employer.
Anyone who received the return package.
Hey Sandra … I have seen you on here since the day 1 I started visiting the forum … trust me its frustrating … I still manage to go to work but end up doing nothing … don’t feel like doing anything … I totally understand what you going through … we all are in the same sinking boat with no life rafts 🙁
Most of my work can be done at home. Actually I just finished one work at home and email to my coworker. I managed to do some work at home. Actually in the office, I would just be too anxious.
Gotcha … I keep going home early and most of the time at work all I do is come on this forum every 15mins … its really frustrating …
My work requires me to be 100% focus. It is brain intense work. This h1b issue bothers me a lot. Is this your last chance? Do you have any plan b?
How long can you still work for your employer? Did you try to bring up the issue to your employer? What is your employer’s attitude? Would they try to help you stay?
Do you think about to ask about your attorney for directly applying for green card?
You should speak to your employer if they have off shore sites that they can transfer you there until next year when they apply again for h1b .. If not get into a school that offers cpt from 1st day …
Btw I remember you saying you located in a southern state is that where you attorney is located as well ?
My employer/attorney is located in Texas … He had applied for 7 AD folks received 6 receipts except for mine … So damn frustrating plus all 6 of them have stem extensions valid until next year … It’s only me who’s stem opt is expiring in July and how unlucky that out of 7 I am that one having no receipt so far ….
Have not seen a single comment since last week about AD guy getting a receipt … seems its game over for us
My attorney from Fragomen keeps on telling me that receipts are still trickling in. But at this point of time, I feel preety much hopeless and have started working out on plan B
I completely agree… haven’t seen any receipts for the AD guys in the last 2-3 days…. But correct me if I am wrong in thinking that after the AD lottery selection, all the remaining ADs go for a general lottery. Then does the USCIS separate the applications again after lottery and sends the receipts according to AD and general category? I do not believe so…
And as we see 14146 series are coming out today…. So lets just sit tight and hope for the best.
AD/RP/VT
To be honest, i feel hopeless since last week.
I just can’t concentrate on other things, so i end up coming to this forum.
Yesterday one of my friend who is also AD/RP/VT got his receipt from the lawyer. The notice date is 4/28, so please hold your hope guys!
Same here. This is my 2nd time to apply. Last year i did not have luck.
I am also in same boat.!
AD/PP still waiting. Last year. Its almost end to my visa date
Just got the good news , my H1B is finally approved , got rejected in lottery last year , it was a very anxious last one year , finally got it.
For guys with EAC reciepts , I was not able to track my case till an hour back , suddenly it turned to Decision and started appearing , so hang on there , your approval is on the way.
Here are my reciept details , as that may help folks –
Receipt No – EACxxxxxx
Notice Date – April 15th 2014
Approval Date – May 1 2014
Category – Non Masters/PP
Could you share five first numbers of your receipt ?
Did someone from Capgemini get the receipt numbers? NON AD\NON PP. Do we still have hope?
Hi I am from Cg but i have not applied through CG? I have applied through one company from US ? mine is also non-ad/RP/Vermont and waiting!!!!!!
hi
My wife has nt got recipt till now.. Any chance that h1b dependent spouses will be allowed to work from this year.
Thanks
In the same boat .If you get any update on your wife’s visa lottery .Please update.
Did you people apply from body shoppers?
I hear h4 EAD reform will not really happen for another few years.
I am in h4, applied through a consultancy in NJ. HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING YET About my case
H4 work permit impossible in USA. What I heard was USA might allow h1 dependent work authorization only their respective country means (INDIA) can allow us dependent to work . India is not allowing any us dependent to work.
Also Immigration reform for H4 work permit will not pass if its pass the next time h1 number will less than half and its too easy for us to settle in us if h4 work permit allowed. It just too easy….not possible at all
Why thy stopped L1 visa reason is 1 L1 Consumed 2 H1. Which is not make sense. Same thing will happen if h1 dependent got work permit.
Hopes are fading that the immigration reform bill will allow H-1B visa holders’ spouses who are on H-4 status to work legally in the United States.
“They would only be able to apply for a work permit,” explained Philadelphia-based immigration attorney Akanksha Kalra, “if there is a reciprocity with their home country. That is, (if) the H-4 visa holder is a national of a country that allows spouses of US citizens to work in that country.”
India has no work visa similar to the H-1B, nor a reciprocal arrangement with the US. India does not provide employment authorisation to spouses of those who hold an Indian employment visa.
Got my receipt a few minutes back from the HR.
Mine is RQ/RP, Vermont center.

Thank God for the lottery selection.
Hope all the deserving candidates get through

Thanks.

I do not think that it do alphabetically, I knew someone got receipt last Wednesday with Last name Wxx and First name Yxx.
Any one got receipt from wipro
No
Does anyone know or has anyone received their rejected parcel back??
I received I-539 for COS for my spouse , it was mailed to my address and arrived yesterday. Still no email or communication from my company or attorney but looks like my application is selected in the lottery…..phew…..Thank God and all the well wishers…I hope everyone else also receives the good news soon…
EAC141465XXXX
Notice date: 04/28/2014
Mine is a COS from L-1B to H-1B. My L-1B extension has currently received an RFE and I have just responded for the RFE specialized knowledge questions. I am relieved atleast I know that I have H-1B to come back in Oct if my L-1B is not approved.
Hope for the best guys…
Good News Buddy.If we apply for COS from L1B to H1B,is it mandatory that we need to work from oct 1st for new employer?
So for L1 TO H1B . They will receive I-539 ?.
The I-539 is for the spouse. For L-1B to H-1B COS we do not have I-539.
No, this is not mandatory. We can work for the same client.
Does anyone know what happened to people who get an RFE? I am an AD so I don’t know what my petition is missing! I just saw the status change today and emailed my HR. No idea what happened? Can anyone shed some light? Do they reject you for this?
No they dont Reject for RFE. They will ask required documents in case anything missing.
Dont worry abt it. Last year my husband had got an RFE too. His took time to resolve as it was AD/ RP . They asked for additional docs ( Really irrelevant if you ask me). Once they got the reply they approved the petition. If you are in PP you wont have to wait as long. Its not that uncommon to get a RFE. Best of luck.
Thank you so much! Yes I am PP so let’s see what happens. I am unable to reach the lawyers and the HR. Can you tell me (if you don’t mind) what type of evidence documents they asked for? (Undergrad transcripts, degree etc.) Just a generic answer would help. Thanks 🙂
RFE s are nothing but the ways USCIS collect some extra bucks from applicant. Everytime you reply to an RFE the applicant has to pay for that.They are picket out randomly…..That’s what I heard..so chill. Present teh documents asked for and you will be fine.
Guys,
Finally I am able to track my case on USCIS. I have been trying to track it since 21st April. The day I got my receipt. And today it suddenly went from “case not found” to “decision”. My employer mailed me yesterday that it’s approved. But it was not reflecting on the website. But it got updated today.
This forum was very helpful. Good luck everyone.
Will keep you guys posted.
Congrats! Could you pl. share first 7 or 8 digits of receipt no.? I am PP/Reg but unable to track in website.
thanks,
EAC141355****
did your employer email you the approved notice, I see on the website it is approved but I get no answer from my employer.
My employer didn’t email me any document. But the said that it’s approved.
Any updates?

Microsoft will be opening a brand new campus in Vancouver, Canada in 2014 and 2015, with 400 new jobs and $90 million new investment.
I’m quite sure a lot of tech companies are using similar strategies to move certain jobs to neighboring Canada, due to faster/more efficient visa approval process.
