They have issued about 10,000 RFEs for cap-subject cases which are pending. Approximately 4,000-5,000 RFE have been ossied for U.S. master degree cases and they are in this regard still pending. They held-up approximately 1,000 cap-subject cases for potential availability beyond those cases which had been selected, it appears that these may be rejected and returned. For the Chile-Singapore cases, they have already exhausted the special number for these cases and there are no numbers that add to the cap-subject quota from the Chile-Singapore unused numbers.<br>By now, they fixed no-winners in the lottery. There has been some delay in sending out rejection notices and return of checks. These rejection notices and return checks will be completely mailed by July 20, 2007.<br>The California Service Center has been experiencing delays in processing of receipt or approval notices for the selected cases and approved cases. Soon, the CSC will post a special email number for inquiry of these cases on the USCIS website.Deepaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163661793340851130.post-62668289025800421132007-05-14T12:20:16.000-05:002007-05-14T12:20:16.000-05:00Hi friends,The new dead line for receipts for my c...Hi friends,<br>The new dead line for receipts for my center is 2nd June.

Less than 2 weeks ago my lawyers told me I probably didn't get the H1b because everyone in my company had received their approvals except me, and they had not received anything for me. So I accepted it and moved on to start preparing for plan B thinking for sure it was rejected hence it's taking so long...<br><br>However on May 14 the lawyer let me know they had received a Receipt Notice from the Vermont processing center. They said they will let me know as soon as they get new information. They did not tell me what this means, yes or no. <br><br>What does this mean ??? After receiving this I have become so anxious, it was better when I thought I had been rejected, atleast I wasn't thinking about it all the time.Miss Mollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163661793340851130.post-55317347368431845482007-05-28T18:37:46.000-05:002007-05-28T18:37:46.000-05:00hii want to know that what is the differece betwee...hi<br>i want to know that what is the differece between getting a receipt number and geting a approval. are these 2 different things? what are the chances of one getting done and the other not?<br>thanks.haqyunusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163661793340851130.post-20463927447733080032007-06-29T02:56:51.000-05:002007-06-29T02:56:51.000-05:00**********LATEST UPDATE FROM USCIC****************...**********LATEST UPDATE FROM USCIC****************<br><br>WASHINGTON – June 26, 2007 : The California Service Center (CSC) is experiencing systems problems that are causing delays in the printing of certain notices. USCIS believes the delays are primarily affecting approval notices for cases decided between April 2007 and the present, although production of some receipt notifications may be affected as well. USCIS is attempting to identify the source of the problem and generate the delayed notices as quickly as possible. In the interim, CSC has established interim procedures to help facilitate the needs of its customers. <br><br>• If USCIS has cashed your remittance check and you have yet to receive a receipt notice, please verify your case's status on-line using the receipt number indicated on your cancelled check. If you don't know your receipt number, please contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) toll-free at 800-375-5283 for your receipt number. <br><br>• If you believe that you haven't received an approval notice (for example - you check the online system and it indicates that your case was approved and you have not received an approval notice), USCIS encourages you to submit an inquiry to the e-mail box: CSC.NoNotice@DHS.Gov. Please include your receipt number and/or your "A" number with your inquiry. USCIS expects to respond to email inquiries within 30 calendar days. <br><br>-USCIS-JPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163661793340851130.post-1244662516866973902007-05-30T01:49:36.000-05:002007-05-30T01:49:36.000-05:00Can somebody let me know pls : " When transfe...Can somebody let me know pls : <br><br>" When transferring from an H4 or B1/B2 status to an H-1B1, you will lose your multiple entry visas.

When I enquired , I was told that they are waiting on the status updates of other applicants , for whom they have received neither an ACCEPT or a REJECT and I need to wait max. till June 15th for the receipt number. So they would take some time to mail me the receipt no. I find this hard to digest that becos they are waiting on other applicants status..they cannot mail me the receipt number?? Is there any other way to find out the receipt number, if you know you have been selected in the lottery process?? Is neone out there in a similar situation??
