My company filed for my H1 on April 01, and I got my LIN number in a couple of weeks but I haven't received my H1 yet.

Do you guys know anyone who have received their approval, if so when was it filed??

This sucks, I have been waiting and I need to go to Nepal soon.

Received Date: April 03
Notice Date: April 05

Thanks

Did you check your "case status" online entering the LIN number in their website?

I filed for H1 on April 2006. I have already received my H1 and I received it about a month ago.

I looked at the service center processing dates for Vermont at https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=Vermont and it says they are still processing April 02.

Amit, what was the receipt date on your confirmation of reciept?? Mine said April 03, so I am trying not to be concerned yet, but if you received yours a month ago, that kinda scares me.

Anyone else, who is still waiting?? Please let me know.

Thanks

Mine was premium submission (July end), so got H1 approval notice within 10 days and visa stamp just a few days back.
But, dunno about the application traffic in Nepal.

Hi,
Bhatiza jee,
Do we need any specific documents to file H1 Visa with Premium submission.

My receipt date was April 25, 2006 and it was approved on July 12, 2006. So maybe you should get it in few days

My reciept date is May 23rd, and i havent heard anything back. The processing time shows April 2nd, so i'm thinking its going to be a while.

are there any instances when its already October 1st and you still dont have your approval?

Bisa20,
What we need is extra 1000 dollar, which my sponsor paid, and there are bunch of papers to be filled up---- sarhai jhyaau hudo rahechha hai..
Here is the foto attached as evidence.

Remember, I did not apply for visa in the US Embassy in Nepal.

Maybe all the applications with premium processing is screwing all of us up. That's why the Vermont site is still processing applications that were received on April 02, is because they have to "premium" process all the other ones..... this sucks.....

My company said they would do my premium processing also, but since we were filing on April 01, we thought it wasn't necessary. This situation is getting worse and worse. I feel bad for the students who are graduating 2-3 years from now. I am sure their H1 will fill up and they won't make it even if they file it with "premuim" on April 01. Maybe it will be called H1B lottery instead of H1B visa then.....

I don't get it, how can someone file it on April 25 get a confirmation and not someone who filed in April 02. Maybe they need to understand the meaning of the word chronological.... its times like these, I wonder how this country is successful.

Mine was not premium processing but I still received it in few moths time.

Oh but mine was transferred from Vermonth site to Texas. Don't know why.....But keep your chin up, you should receive it then...By the way, My lawyer was a Nepali Lawyer from New York and one of the best Lawyer for these type of case.

What?

A Nepali Lawyer from New York!! Do you have his phone number??

That's awesome!! How'd you transfer yours to the Texas Center, Vermont sucks!!!

You must have got it by now unless you have a query. Check it online and let us know the status. Anyways, as long as you have an EAC nothing much to worry.

What happens with trasfer of cases to Texas is, all cases reach Vermont center intially and then few will be diverted to California and Texas service centers.

I dont know how my case got transferred to texas. My lawyers name is galabh dhungana

Even mine was filed on the 24th of May. It has been transferred to Texas from Vermont. My employer says that it might take at most 2 more months. I will be applying in Ktm Embassy after that. Hope things go well...

Query??

What's a query??
