Delay in Issuance of H1B Visa Receipt Notice for FY 2014

Here are couple of updates about H1B Visa 2014 Regular Processing Receipt Number.

USCIS has started the data entry process for H-1B petitions selected in the lottery. Data entry for non-premium processing cases will begin after the premium processing cases are entered, and rejection notices will follow after that.

Source – AILA Doc. No. 13041600.

Data entry of non-premium processing petitions will not be complete until at least May and perhaps June.  Rejection notices for petitions not selected in the lottery will be sent out after the data entry for winning petitions has been completed.  AILA points out that when the cap was reached on the first day in 2008, USCIS did not complete data entry and issue receipt notices until late in May 2008.

Comment 2:

My employer got the mail of h1b receipt notice today. I’m master quota, regular processing, in California Service Center.

On the receipt notice, the received date is April 8th, and the notice date is April 12th.

Good luck with those who haven’t receive the receipt notice.

  4. My case was delivered to VSC April 2nd. It’s May 9th and my company hasn’t received a receipt notice for my case and they say they haven’t gotten receipt notices for ANY of the H1s they filed. I’m definitely panicking. Has anyone else not received a receipt yet?

  5. From what I read and hear, more and more CSC applicants started receiving results out than VSC as I think VSC has received more number of applicaitons than CSC.
