    • Congrats! What was the Receipt Date as mentioned on your receipt notice? My receipt date was 04/08 per notice so expecting a result by 04/23. I’m AD/PP/CSC.

      • Mine receipt date was 11th april. and my clocked stopped today in the afternoon. Got decision by evening.

        • Hi Chintan, do you remember what time your clock stopped and when you get the decision this evening?
          Because my status changed to initial review between 4pm and 6pm PST( i dont know the exact time) this afternoon and the clock stopped, but there is still no decision yet….

          • Hey my clock stopped around 1 PM PST. And when I checked around 5 in the evening. Status changed to Approved. Actually one of my friend’s status changed in initial review. and its still there. So I would say do not worry. It will automatically change by tomorrow afternoon.

          • Thanks for the info Chintan!! Keep my fingers crossed and will check it again tmr! Andwhat is the next step for you? Are you all set pretty much?

  6. I am in the regular cap, regular processing. My HR tells me that my petition is selected in lottery but when i ask her the receipt number, she says that they are yet to receive the mail.

    I am sure the receipt number must be in the email communication the attorney received. Or can the email be without any receipt numbmer? Is there any other information that email gives us?

    • Sahil,
      They might have seen the check against your name getting encashed. So they dont know your receipt number. Trust them. All the best buddy. M still waiting for my case. same as you ..

      • Thanks CD,

        The email communication that attorney’s are receiving, is it same as the USCIS Form I-797 Notice of Receipt. Apart from the receipt number, will it also tell us the approximate processing time for our case?

        • Hi Sahil,
          What I meant to say was that your attorney might not have received an E-Mail/Snail mail at all. He would have come to the conclusion that your application has been selected after seeing the check against your name getting encashed through his or the employer’s bank statement. I am a regular quota normal applicant .I am waiting for my result :). So not sure what the e-mail contains. Any ways keep faith.

          • Thanks CD,

            Actually my HR told me that my USCIS has acknowledged the receipt of my application, which makes me believe they got an email. I will be checking with my HR as well but wanted to know what all should be in that email. Thanks again 🙂

  7. this is good idea

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhDhcrPr9JWedEdOU2xMRG1QdTdnaGdyN0JWalhwX1E&om=true&richtext=false#gid=0

  8. I just wanna to know when can PP get notifications for NOT being selected in the lottery? I have lost hope now, but the employer won’t start preparing for alternative backup plans until I am confirmed as not being selected… I know it’s cruel to ask but is there anyone who has got their package returned?

        • Thanks for the information but I am in CSC. I remember to see someone saying in this forum that PP has ended sending out notifications from CSC? Or it’s because I am too nervous to have good memory?

          • Heres one which i came across 5 minutes ago from CSC WAC1313653256. I saw quite a few PP petitions yesterday like a 100 plus myself and it looked to me like 1 in 15 petitions were PP. There are many people I have seen many people here posting bs here without any validation, its just a reflection of their fears which is understandable. I am riding the same wave as you are and there are many more still waiting to hear, so dont lose hope just yet. Also USCIS said they would start the premium processing of petitions on the 15th as opposed to earlier on the previous years, they never said premium processing of all petitions filed under PP would be processed. Theres a huge difference in this verbiage. Dont go by the opinions of somebody losing his nuts. I can see PP petitions today also which only tells me that though they are fewer in number as compared to last week, there still are more than a few to go. Keep strong dude, its not over yet.

          • Thank you very much for your encouragement! Feel like I am recharged a bit and I can hang on for a two or three more days…

          • Hey are you adv. degree /pp?

            I am from adv. deg/pp/vsc/
            Do you think is there any hope for them?

            What was your above mesg states?

            I don’t understand that. I lost my entire life. Our India or indian govt is not going to give anything for us. I dont have anything in India. I completely relied on my job here. Now I am gonna loose everything. ontry is not gonna give me anything. My cI feel like its better to nd this life insteadof going back inmy likfe. Please help.

        • What it help to see others receipt # ?
          Is there any relation? and does it help anything identifying anything?

        • btw, how can we tell from the number only whether it’s PP or not? Just because it says it “emailed” on the checking page?

          • It says clearly that on the page that “On April 17, 2013, the 15-day premium processing clock started on your I129,PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER”, its a no brainer. Many people here have also posted that their lawyers/employers got it by mail, so email isnt the only way they are sending PP receipts out.

          • Thanks, but it seems more people are reporting RP than PP this week so I guess PP chances are getting lower and lower 🙁

      • This is exactly what I want to discuss with the employer! But they just say there might be other options and will reach me once I am notified in one way or another (I guess it means received or rejected). I am wondering myself whether I can use J1 instead… I have a PhD degree, not in US though…

        • so you would technically join the same company in your place, and then come to US on j1? for how long? for a year? and then apply for h1b next year? do you need a phd for j1? didn’t look like it -from my initial search. i have a masters from a permium institute in india.

          • I have to say that J1 is only my OWN thoughts and hope. I proposed it as an option to the employer but they didn’t respond to this option directly.

            I only know that J1 has a restriction that after that you will have a two-year home country service, which means theoretically you cannot apply for H1B the next year. But someone says it might be waived in some ways. However, it still remains a question whether I can use it to work at first place. I don’t know either whether a master or PhD degree might help with J1 but I’ve heared someone who takes “research” job in company with J1.

            Again, these are my own thoughts but no one has ever confirmed it with me.

          • Thanks. Can you please update your status as a reply here once you talk to your employer? I will keep checking comment page 31. thanks.

          • I am also a teacher on J1 Visa and am currently applying for H1 B. You can always waive off your 2 year home residency condition by getting a waiver. This allows you to apply for H1 B visa.

          • Hi,

            I am on J-1 and have applied for H1B FY-2014 (AD/PP/CSC, rec’d receipt on April 10).

            A couple of things if you are considering J1:
            (1) Depending on your home country (ie: “country or citizenship” or “legal permanent residence”), and your country’s skills list (maintained by US State Dept.) at the time your J-1 is approved…. you may be subject to a “2-year home country residence requirement”. If you are subject to this then you ARE NOT ALLOWED to change status to H1B or L1 until:
            (a) You complete the 2-years in home country (not any other country) OR (b) Get a waiver for the 2-year residence requirement approved from the US State Dept (and USCIS) .

            (2) NOT all companies can sponsor J-1 visas. J-1 visas can only be sponsored by certain institutions/companies that have been designated as “Sponsors” by the US State Dept.

            Apart from these two main hiccups listed above…there are other minor hiccups/issues with J1 which I have not listed here. There are a one/two advantages. But please try and avoid J1 unless it is your only option.

            PS: I got the waiver from India. There are 5 ways to get the waiver of the 2-year residence requirement approved. The “No-Objection” to Return to your home country is the route I took. This is not a simple process and it may take anywhere from 3-12 months.

          • To add to my reply above:
            I am an Indian citizen, MS in EE, and I was subject to the 2-year rule because of my EE degree + India.

            From what I saw: The US State Dept skills list for India includes a lot of Engineering branches (EE, CS, Mech etc.) which automatically make an Indian citizen subject to the 2-year rule. Please check with the company’s lawyers and also the State Dept website: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_4514.html

        • I was just reading up on J1. Looks like you will have to go back to your native country for atleast 2 years after your J1 visa expires, plus you can’t apply for a green card.

          • Yes, there is a two-year home-country service requirement but there is a chance that you apply for waiver with the help of lawyer. I don’t know how large the change is but I believe it’s something that we can work on instead of pure random lottery.

          • you don’t need any lawyers to apply for waiver, you can start your process at your own with the help of your embassy. But you will have to get waivers from your Home department, HR and passport offices in your country.

          • You can try to apply for the O-1 visa if you have atleast 5 publications with decent enough citations, 6-7 solid references from eminent Professors (try to get about 2 from US, 1-2 from Europe, 1 from India (preferably your supervisor) and remaining from other countries), review 2-3 journal articles. If you do this, you have a good chance (60:40). This is just an option better than J-1 if you missed the H1-B this year!

  12. They are generating on an average of 4.2 K receipts per day at Vermont (i have not been tracking CSC)..On an average at least 30% are other petitions..so easily you have 2.5K are H1B that have gone through lottery. I expect at least 42.5K processed at each center. This mean so far we have processed 20K in the last 8 days (last saturday and monday not much done)..

    so in another 9 days you expect them to complete initial processing and sending down receipts…that takes to end of this month…then leave at least 2 week for 80% of the receipts to be generated and send..they are still doing PP and sending…so still there is a ray of hope..and obviously they are not emailing and sometimes it gets by mail…

    Then they may hold some applications to account for the denials which would be another 5K…only when u recieve your petition back you can be assured that it is not in lottery this year

    So just hold on and pray…

  15. I have been following this forum for the updates and has helped me a lot so I thought I share my news with you. Hope it helps!

    I received my receipt today: Advanced degree, regular processing, California service center

  16. On regular processing, by any chance, who will receive the receipt number through mail. I am sure it would be the lawyer, but i am seeing few folks mentioning that they got the receipt in mail..
    Checking my USPS mail box almost twice a day 🙁 just in case

        • Just got mine today evening.. AD- RP- CSC

          I also used to check my mail box like u did … but recently read somewhere that it is usually mailed to the petitioner / lawyer… Mine was received by my lawyer, the notice date is April 12 th and my lawyer is located close to LA but they received the mail today, after 5 days…even though they are close…

  17. Patience with others is Love
    Patience with self is Hope
    Patience with GOD is Faith

    Have faith my friends!!

  18. Hi Guys

    I just got my receipt from my lawyer. AD/RP/CSC. The funny news is that I asked on the status of the check yesterday and it was NOT cashed!!!! So If your check hasn’t been cashed yet dont loose your hope.

    Cheers to you all

    • I cant tell you how relieved I am to hear that man, I kid you not. I actually asked my lawyer today and they said it wasnt cashed which vexed me a little bit. You think it was just an anomaly though? Maybe but it atleast it gives me some hope. Thanks for the shout.

      • @keepingithonest:

        My receipt Email was sent on April 10 (Wednesday). Employer and Lawyer received the paper notice on April 13 (Saturday). My checks were being “processed” on my employers bank account on April 15 (Monday)… so they were submitted electronically on 12/13th?
        So…maybe they issuance of the receipt and checks getting cashed don’t necessarily happen on the same day?

    Anyone over here whose H1b is filed with Non e verified Employer and has not yet applied for Opt Extension.

    for me AD/Reg / CSC

    Please Reply

  21. From hopeful now I’m becoming frustration-ful 🙁 God please help us all!!!
    RP/RQ/VSC no updates till now..

  22. Every year around 5k applications gets denied/withdrawn..
    so, even if you donot get the receipt number by this week, dont lose hope..

  23. Just found out from my employer that my lawyer received my receipt number. AD/RP/CSC..
    Hope for the best guys.

  24. I have an urgent question: instead of writing a single check my boss wrote three separate checks for different fees and clipped them together. Is that considered wrongly filed?

  25. Someone please share this document list on Facebook H1B wiki and tell people to update.

  27. Hi all,
    I just wanted to point out that we can count how many numbers have been processed by USCIS. Read the page of the meaning of each number (http://redbus2us.com/received-h1b-2014-receipt-number-with-eac-wac-what-next-check-status/) if you want to do that yourself, but it roughly goes as follows (the following are a compilation from myself and rmv’s post on page 27 of this forum).

    Vermont:
    EAC1313851049 1049
    EAC1313754845 4845
    EAC1313654300 4300
    EAC1313551250 1250
    EAC1313454100 4100
    EAC1313354600 4600
    EAC1313254550 4550
    EAC1313154250 4250
    EAC1313052558 2558

    California:
    WAC1312852853 2853
    WAC1312953525 3525
    WAC1313053860 3860
    WAC1313153131 3131
    WAC1313254121 4121
    WAC1313351558 1558
    WAC1313454480 4480
    WAC1313553412 3412

    All in all, seems like they’ve issued around 57.5K numbers until yesterday, going at a rate of about 8K a day between both centers. I’ve counted about 6.5 K for today so far. Obviously, not all of these are H1-B petitions, but it gives us an idea of the ballpark.

    Good luck to all!

  30. Hey In the check en cashing thing from Employers account…I have a question …what if the company has applied for more than 1 employee..how would you know whose money was deducted…Like in my case My company applied for more than 1 Employee..Hey I have a question in this case…what if the company has applied for more than 1 employee..how would you know whose money was deducted…Like in my case My company applied for more than 1 Employee..

    • H1 B seeker,
      My understanding is that they will write the receipt number behind the check when cashing it. Matching the receipt number w/ the actual receipt will give an idea about which petition it was cashed for.

    • All H-1B visa fee is paid by the company. So, at the very least for the purpose of accounting they maintain details of all checks issued. Otherwise, in case of audit how will the company answer for whom this money was issued? Hence, by referencing the check number encashed they can identify the applicant’s name. A receipt number alone won’t help unless they also mention the name of the person for whom it was issued behind the check.
