Did I miss anything ?
Do you have any questions ? What are your thoughts ?
Guys, got the receipt notice today.
Very happy. Mine is AD/Reg Processing/ Vermont. Few things
don’t rely solely on SEVIS update , mine isn’t showing anything until now. Also, my attorney and grad school did not get any update but my employer got it first.
Be patient and hope for best.
lucky you.
Atleast got the receipt.
I’ve been thru all the sources that I can. No updates from any means.
Any hopes that we can rely on?
mine is the first category.
AD/PP/Vsc
I didn’t see even a single person who got it in the past 4days.
Seems like the quota is done:(
T,
I know its very stressful to go through this situation. Believe me it was one of the most emotionally overwhelming situation for me. It is extremely important for AD people to get through. But never ever loose hopes, pray to god, offer him something to give up if you want this success desperately. I am sure almighty will listen to you.
nyone who did it through Harvey shapiro NY and have got the results
Got my receipt on friday for AD?RP/CSC. There was no update on my SEVIS. Got the info from my employer. So please be patient and Good Luck!

Hi guys,
Does anyone know when the ‘definite’ date is by when regular processing will end? Is it for another two weeks? I’m RQ/RP/VSC, my employer said the check hasn’t been cashed yet. Is there any way of telling approximately how many applications they have processed so far?
My laywer said I should consider J-1 visa for the time being, until I can apply for another H1b next year. Has anyone else’s lawyer suggested this? This system sucks…
The system does not suck. It is fair and has given you a chance to stand in line and get your H-1b. Imagine if there wasn’t a system and people got selected based on other considerations!
You will know the outcome of your petition. I know it’s easy to say, but please be patient. In any case, there is not much one can do.
The system does suck, by which I mean there should not be a lottery. Now they’re already drafting a law to increase the amount of H1b’s, which means even they themselves realize that it’s ridiculous they’re only giving 65k + 20k applications. Everyone from Mark Zuckenberg to several other high level people are encouraging hiring more foreigners. They should process all applications and if they really want to limit the amount of visas then be perhaps a little strickter with giving the visas, I don’t know, I just think it’s terrible that we have all wasted months on this. I’m already in the US and used months trying to find an employer to sponsor me, and now this happens. It was just such a surprise.
The crux of the new immigration bill is to document the 11 million illegal immigrants in US. The increase in H-1B visas somehow (due to lobbying by IT companies) got dragged into it. The intention was not about increasing or reforming H-1B. Hence, the H-1B part is also facing a lot of flak both inside and outside US. But, for the sake of everyone let’s hope the bill gets cleared.
Also did you know that the new bill will provide AD cap exemption only to AD students from US universities in STEM subjects? After all it was the IT companies lobbying to increase the cap and hence they got their say.
HI Guys the system is ok. for one thing i wsih it should have is. There are companies already holding 30 to 50 % H1B and L1 employees and total 50+ employees. who are made to pay addational fee(which is peanuts for them). These companies should be asked to wait for first 5 days till April 5th and file the petitions. By which atleast other derserving candidates does not have to get into lottery. And one thing i know for sure these companies just apply H1b on bulk and use when needed. I have heard some people have valid H1b but does not travel for months and years too.
Whole concept of outsourcing works on onshore-offshore model where less % of onshore staff (H1Visa resources) co-rdinate with bigger team offshore (prefferable split 20% onshore 80% offshore).
This model survives on rotation basis which means onshore resource in US for couple of years or so and then he goes offshore and a replacement from offshore travels onshore. This works to give equal opportunity to each deserving candidate and equal exposure to work in different environments. All the outsourcing giants works in this model and rarely keep a resource for complete 6 years to complete there H1 tenure. Becuase its too long for offshore counter part to wait for that omshore opportunity.
This concept is true for any Big services company you name – IBM, accenture, TCS, Infosys, WIPRO , IGATE, LNT and so on and so on.
Go for J-1 with a lot of caution. Check if your profession has a 2 year home country residency requirement. If yes then you will be sucked in a long process to get a NOC from home country and approval from DHS. All in all if you are unsure then run as far away from J-1 as possible.
Any PP guys from SAB Info?
Me here……..
I m in RQ/RP/CSC
So far, I barely see any RQ/RP updates… And even less for CSC…
Still have hope? Pls let me know if anyone from RQRPCSC got in! thankyou!
Got my receipt. Did not actually see the receipt, but my employer mailed me that I got through in the lottery with the receipt number.
did VSC not working today or all the receipts got generated??
No news from my employer 🙁
RQ/RP/VSC I’m losing hope now.
Neither from my employer. What a shitty lottery system..I had never even waited this desperately for my academic results thro out my life..
Probably, your universities were never short staffed, under budget cuts or had to deal with 10x their normal workload. You should appreciate the fact that USCIS is working overtime and on weekends to process the results as soon as they can.
I agree with you. I donno how they are doing this. They were out with the total no. of petitions ( I dint expect that to happen until 2nd week of April), they were done with the lottery on immediate Sunday. They started receipting 2nd Monday of April. I read some PP candidates even got approvals on the 1st PP processing day. They do seem to understand how anxious we all are. Imagine a similar scenario in an Indian Govt. Office. No wonder everyone of us wants to come work here. Sorry for going off topic but reading the rape news from India literally every other day makes me want to stay even more. May god help India (including me) build better morals.
its really surprising that no updates for RQ/RP??
when PP was started every five minutes peoples are posted good news…
why not with us….
there is not news… what to reply ???
frustration increasing >>>
Who else is waiting on AD/RP/CSC?
me same boat..
Still waiting… AD/RP/CSC.. Hoping for a Miracle…
Am still here.. did you guys contact your school?
I got my case no. from School but still waiting on receipt no. AP/RP/CSC
same boat
RD/PP/VSC. Did not get the receipt. Employer called USCIS and got the info that the application is on hold. Not exactly sure what this means. Is there still hope?
1. Did USCIS send back the applications of people who have not been selected in the Lottery? (Could scan through entire comments, some pointers or info could help)
2. Are all the applications which are not picked in Lottery go in to the hold category or wait listed category or a few selected ones go into this category?
Thanks
that probably means that your name is on waiting list or missing some docs.
Did USCIS give you any receipt number? If then, it probably means missing doc. If not, maybe they put your name on waiting list first priority.
Nope no receipt # has been issued
AD/PP/VSC still waiting ……:-( any hope left ??
I don’t think so.
Lets look for other options.
Did you try calling your DSO/ International Office to find out your SEVIS Status? If your status has been updated to ‘Change of Status Pending’ then thats the good news you have been waiting for.
Is it still good news even if there is just the status pending, without receipt number or anything?
I did everything what needs to be done.
Called USCIS, DSO.
No update from HR.
Really frustrating and this stupid lottery killed us.
Lot of people who graduated this year has also applied and they got it
which is really frustrating more.
🙁
Yes it means good news……it was same for me too, just pending note but i got the receipt number after that….actually, DSO has to look at the history or register section of your I20….you will see your receipt number there….call them and get your number….it is not only pending note..believe me
AD/PP/VSC still waiting ……:-( any hope ??
This is getting Intense now ..USCIS have predicted that the quota will hit in a weeks time but they have not ensured the composure in the processing.
This wait is frustrating and I really feel USCIS should implement a good way of processing going forward.
Definitely electing candidates through lottery is not a good sign ..
AD/RP/Vermont…Just got the receipt number. Previously DSO was saying ” COS pending without any receipt number”….Actaully asks them to check “status history” if you want to get receipt number because it is there but they dont see as long as they dont check the right place.
I know it is not easy to wait but I wish all who deserves it can get it.
congrats!
AD/RP/CSC
who else is waiting?
ADV RP VSC
me too… 🙁
Same here
Adv non-pp VSC
still waiting.
DSO no pending, check not cashed
Not selected?
I’m waiting.
AD/PP/Vsc
AD/RP/ CSC still waiting…
Should we keep waiting or start loosing hope…
Emre: Did you check with your DSO? did he not give you a receipt number?
they are so slow and asked me to send an email.. last I checked was on last thursday and there was nothing new…
I donk know if there are any updates on my sevis since then..
Truthfully neither! You should not lose hope and instead of waiting you should start chalking out a Plan B. Given that AD people got two chances at the lottery their probability of selection is very high, but in case you are in the unlucky minority you should not land on your face without any backup.
@Harsha09@ did u talk to your DSO? no updates from them?
+1. I think we can start loosing hope by May 1st.
All petitions processed by uscis ?
To day 142 day no updates on EAC and WAC
Is it stopped ????
REPLY
Today is day 141, not 142
Today is 142 go Vermont and 139 for California
WAC still processing …. 🙂
please check …dont put something without having any idea of what ur are talking,,,,
Guys,
Can anybody tell me if this is a latest receipt no. WAC1314050731 ???
Hi, could you post link on where these receipt numbers are listed? Thanks!
Hang on there guys. I got my receipt this morning. I am an AD/RP/EAC. I know what waiting means over here but the door is not closed for anyone who has not gotten a receipt yet. Do not panic right now. Stop speculating about PP as well. We do not know a bit about how USCIS is working right now. I do not know why people are so impatient about regular processing, it just a week. Good luck!!
PS: This website is very helpful!!
Congrat! I’m in the same bracket… still waiting.
I hope you will get through!! Good luck Buddy.
Congrats! when you say don’t be impatient, it’s just a week.. do you mean all receipts will be out in a week? Or it has only been a week so far?
I was referring to a Regular Processing. It just a week USCIS started sending out receipts for RP (and you must have seen people PP folks getting their receipts last week as well when many people were speculating that PP will be done within a week). No one knows how long this sending out process continues. Good Luck!!
h4to h1 RQ/RP/VSC still waiting anyone with similar case here

I’m a H4 applied for H1. My employer confirmed check getting credited which means my case was picked up in the quota.
Wishing the best for others.
Waiting…RQ/RP..:(
anyone filed via SAGEIT ?? they are located in TX, not sure which center
Hi Guys,
I got my receipt this morning for AD/PP/CSC.I guess CSC processing is really slow so do not lose hope yet!!
what was notice date?
I am PP/AD/VSC
Was it by email or Snail mail?
Its imp for us… let us know it receipt no..
@ hey …. Its imp for us… let us know it receipt no..
Contracts….Did they sent a email or a mail? how did you know? Did you ask your school DSO before today for sevis updates?
@ Hey:
Can you please tell me if your attorney received the receipt via email or post?
I come under regular quota but PP (VSC). I almost lost my hope because I do not see any PP guys getting receipt these days ( other than you). Could you please provide more info and it will help is to keep our hopes alive..
This is my first and probably last moan: When you share your good news, cannot you please share as much information as possible!!??
All petitions processed by uscis ?
To day 142 day no updates on EAC and WAC
Is it stopped ????
how did u find out they stopped???
Any news for IBM India folks ?
or anything to do when waiting… (other than boozing)
IBMer here as well.. wonder if our immigration team would let us know immediately when they receive receipt or wait until they have gotten everything and take their own time like end May/June :S
same here. case manager coolly mentioned ‘it could take 3months’. it really painful not knowing your fate.
please keep us updated if any good/bad news.
Uscis there is no update today ? Uscis completed all petitions ?
No petitions to process !!???
Thats what even I dont understand
I think we have to get prepared to accept the reality.. I did not see any receipt getting generated from Vermot today. If we do not hear from our employer in next 2 days. it is game over for us.
Is this timeframe just for AD or PP cases or for everyone?
No one is writing on COS from h4 to h1….has anyone got the receipt who applied from h4 to h1….please share so that I still can hope that I will get mine too….
Same here ..
I am on h4 applied this year…i am now losing hope …general quota , RP

Any update from Cognizant H1B? Anyone got receipt yet?
Me too on the same boat bro (CTS) .. waiting for every moment ..and checking companies portal for update
Same here with me no updates yet.
my manager said that the immigration team will consolidate the list then only wil send mail it seems. All h1 applied in cognizant should get the results then only they will publish
I have received my premium processing receipt number RQ/PP/CSC on 11th April. On 19th April the status showed as Intial Review with following comment.
“On April 18, 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.”
It is in the same status since then. I have seen quite a few such cases when I browsed through using different receipt numbers. Any idea what is going on here?
Hello all Sab Info applicants,
Any update….
Any good news ?????
Hi OMG,
Any update???
Hi,
We received my spouse’s H4 receipt which was applied with the same package. No news yet on my H1.. Any idea what might be going on? Thx.
That means you were selected? when did u get your spouse’s? where are u located? are u RP?
Thx. I probably will cross check this with our attorney.
AD/RP/CSC.
We received the H4 receipt on Friday on our mail.
On last check, there was no status update on sevis yet, may be because my OPT extn is valid till Dec ’13.
Hi, I called the USCIS no 18003755283 and tried to enquire about my status…..they told me that my employer can call them up and find out about the status and not me…if u guys share a good relationship with your HR , pls ask them to call and know your status…
Was it a pp or regular
Hi , I have doubt here. Please help me.
I saw here some one posting that he has been given an RFE stating and job and degree does not match.
I am working as software engg in an Indian IT company. I have a degree in engineering (4 year degree) and also I’ve done MBA (distance mode).
My highest qualification is MBA but I am working in software. Is there is a chance for RFE for me stating the job and degree does not match?
I am not yet sure if I am thru the lottery, but this question was in my mind for long time. So please some one reply me.
You have an engineering degree which is related – so you should be fine i think
AD/RP/CSC. My heartfelt Thanks to Qwerty who suggested to talk to the school officials.
I got my receipt no. from my DSO 🙂 What a relief!!!
WAC13134xxxxx (134th day processed and still no official post.) Either US post office is really slow or Fragomen are useless.
I truly hope all deserving non-fraud candidates (AD & RQ) get through.
All the very best to everyone waiting.. I understand your agony – but don’t lose hope..
Thanks everyone for posting your updates.
I know! Mine is 134th day as well and my attorney says she has not got a mail yet!! So slow. I wonder if they even mailed out notices….
AD/ RP/ CSC
Mine is 134th day too and hv been waiting for the official confirmation on the receipt #..
this wait s killing..
It seems this is the last receipt number EAC1314151055 in VSC, so this means this center has completed generating receipt number for the petitions randomly selected??
I didn’t hear Any news …
Test,
My gut feeling agrees with u. Even I dint see any receipts getting generated today. Did any of u see it?
Is it possible to calculate the total receipt number generated in EAC and WAC? if it is close to 90,000 (including other petitions), then all receipt numbers are out!
RQ/RP/VSC
This month is the longest month in my life!
Any one from Cognizant-Kolkata got any information about H1B?
Any idea if they are still processing PP. It has been a long wait till now.
I am also in the same boat.
waiting,
waiting ,
waiting,
…….
I asked the school to check my SEVIS status and it has been updated.
My attorney has not heard anything from USCIS. I guess they are mailing everything very slowly. 13134528xx
Advanced degree, regular processing, California
And I am in Chicago.
I was in Infosys during 2008 H1B..They sent out emails to selected candidates only after they received the rejection notices for not selected candidates…
I received my receipt from Infosys immigration team somewhere in 2nd week of June, eventhough my receipt date was in April..after they sent rejection emails to non selected candidates.
guess you have to wait until early June or may be more….
Hi All,
I have been following this forum for a while now and i feel like I should post any information I receive. I am RQ/RP. Please find the response below from my employer –
Lottery was done on April 7th, we received Masters premium receipts in following week.
last week beginning we received few Masters regular receipts.
On Friday USCIS processed couple of regular cases and deposited checks. This means these cases picked and can expect receipt in a week.
I will let you know as soon as I see your h1 fee check deposited. It may take couple of weeks total to complete it.
Hope this helps. Good luck to you all!!
Wow, what a good employer! Where is your employer located?
Got the receipt today.
RP/RQ/VSC
EAC 13137XXXX
Good luck!
Congrats …. Am still waiting .. Rq/RP/Vermont
hang in there buddyy
One of my friend got rejected today… Feeling very bad… 🙁
Why did he get rejecteD?
Not selected in Lottery…
Ar u from Tcs
yes
How do u know he got rejected.
Recieved email from SSG team.
🙁 – i hope he finds another way!
THe lottery is so stupid
Hopefully….
Was his petition filed ?
His petition may not have been filed ,so would have received this mail from SSG.
he got rejected package back?
How do you guys know for sure about the rejection? Did the employer get the package back? This is important news. So the rest of us know what to expect.
did he/she get an email stating the denial ??
No Problem bro…!
Don’t feel bad. You guys have a job. Apply next year.
And think positive that it will goes to someone who is trying to establish career, like the guys who are on F1/OPT and didn’t get any receipt and still just waiting for the receipt.
Why feel bad? Nothing has gone really bad.
Its really bad only for the people whose OPT is getting expired and no chance to apply next year.
Any one received Accepted or Receipt Number from SSG team? Curious to know as we do not have any update from SSG team.
No Reply dude asked to contact ISU RMG but they also dont have anything
Guys, FYI… RC/RP/ Vermont. My lawyer sent e-mail that I have been accepted.
Good luck to everyone!!
Recieved paper receipt today. Major relief. Been lurking here for weeks now. 🙂
Received Date: April 8
Notice Date: April 15
AD/Regular Processing/VSC
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting. 🙂
AD/RP/VSC anyone? No receipt yet and haven’t heard back…are they still processing applications??
I got my receipt in this category on Friday. I believe they are still processing.
Have you checked if your check has been cashed and with your DSO? Both of those confirmed last Wednesday that I got in.
Finally, the wating game is over. Received my notice RQ/RP/VSC. 131375-XXXXX
Good luck to you all guys/gals. Please don,t loose any hope you will get it.
Hi,
Did you get the mail directly from the lawyer or employer? who has communicated to you?
Thanks
Kis
Hi Lonely Planet,
Did you get the mail directly from the lawyer or employer? who has communicated to you?
Thanks
Kis
My Lawyer communicated to me.
if an rejections happended for the persons who got the lottery..will that slot will be given to the person who was not selected in the lottery
Seems they do have such a “waiting list”. But I don’t know if this status would be communicated to us. Anyone knows more about this?
But imagine not getting through the lottery now and getting it later bcoz of a waiting list haha
YES,
There is a waiting list And this contains a significant number of petitions…probably over 10,000 and this corresponds to the historical rejection rate. This happened in 2008.
WHAT we dont KNOW is how they decide who is in the waiting List.
If someone knows how they decide, Please tell us.
AD/PP/VSC
still haven’t even gotten a receipt yet. honestly don’t care anymore……right i wish.
Me too.
I am PP/AD/VSC
I have assumed that I wasnt selected.
My hope is that I am in the waiting list and I get in later, but I am not banking on that.
I informed my employer that there is possibility that I missed the lottery since we dont have any communication till today and they said they will call USCIS today and see if my name is in system.
Me too. AD/PP/VSC
Hey me too.
AD/PP/VSC.
Seems like we are not selected.
what are the backup plans?
If u are in US, U have 2 options:-
-get job with non profit eg university etc
-marry USC
-wait to become illegal then with new laws, you will be forgiven ( Assuming u were here before 2012). Millions of people are illegal
Eitehr way, things will be hard, but you will make it.
hey, so USCIS will tell the employer whether we are selected or not???
Me too AD/PP/CSC still waiting
How can they call the USCIS and verify ? Is it possible ? Please let us know if your employer is able to verify this may be we can ask our employer to verify the same way.
thanks
In all honesty, you could wait out this one more week before giving up.
no one is giving up…i simply wish i could stop giving a damn to this & start planning exit options 🙁
Can we call to USCIS to check if our application( H1b ) is selected in the lottery? I understand we would eventually hear through regular mail if you apply through regular processing but just curious if we can do this as well.
Thanks
Nope, if you call they would say they don’t have that information. One person you can call or check on is your employer.
Thank you so much!
YES, you can call.
They will search by you name and employer detals.
Only the petitioner or attorney can call. Not employee.
If they cant find your detaios, then your packet has not been opened.
You mayhave been selected, but they havent entered your details.
Thank you so much!
my attorneys will call today!! Will update once i hear something back. Ugh someone put an end to this ongoing three week torture please.
Hi,
Does SEVIS update take place only if our OPT expires before Oct 1 ? I wanted to contact my DSO to get my receipt no.(if any)
you can contact him even if it does not expire before oct 1. good luck
My Opt is expiring on 30th nov and there was change in status …on SEVIS ..I even have my case no. with me now. So go ahead and check SEVIS update.
Yet another RQ/RP first time applicant here.. never thought I’d be in a H1 mess and yet here I am feverishly waiting for the lottery result :p
btw anyone from IBM India on this list?
Jack, i bet u r not the lone person in this situation… Gud luck mate…
Thanks man.. truck load of luck is what I (and everyone else here) need 🙂
Since 8th April they are replying the same..Contact FDFU/ISU RMG..but non of them have any info…seems it will be better to wait till this friday..Hope good news will come !!!
