Hi,

Is there anyone who received Final approval notice from USCIS in this month i.e., September? it is almost one month that USCIS accepted my form I-612 from DOS ( NOS J-1 waiver) and i am still awaiting their final decision!! Should be more patient!

Hi

Mine was accepted by USCIS june 16 2018 approved June 28. Although the status page even today seems to not have been updated. I got in the mail on July 19, 2018.  You too will get in your mail soon.

Awesome, thanks! And how long after DOS sent their recommendation did you get the notice that the USCIS received it? Trying to think in terms of my total timeline!

Approximately in a week it was in my mail

Anyone who has their waiver with USCIS in Vermont? What is the processing time currently? Thanks!

Hello 

i got it in 15 days after uscis received it

No response on my case either. They updated the website with the 'Received' on the documents on the 14th of Aug. No response to my email. I'm on a 4-8 times checking a day too!

Hi SoniaL

In my case too they updated the status as documents received on 15 Aug. But my attorney received a request further evidence (RFE)

so isubmitted the phd degree evaluation report.

So far no update after that.

Was your case an RFE too

please update when you get any approval ,

How long is the response towards the (approval in case of H1b premium processing)  RFE? I had to send USCIS the transcript of my terminal PhD degree, as it was from a foreign country (India)? Do they do it instantly or they take their 15 long days?

DoS sends the letter to USCIS and a copy to you at the same time. USCIS then sends a receipt notice (I-797c) with the number for the I-612 to the same address by mail. This goes all automatically. I got the receipt notice from USCIS approx 10 days after the recommendation letter but the times can vary.

I should also have mentioned that my J1 waiver is based on a no objection statement from my embassy,

 

Thank you

DoS sends the letter to USCIS and a copy to you at the same time. USCIS then sends a receipt notice (I-797c) with the number for the I-612 to the same address by mail. My recommendation by DOS was sent to USCIS on June 22 and i got the the receipt notice from USCIS on 28 june 2018.  So, Keep waiting. All the best

I want to share my currret case time line:

Dos Received FR: May 17
Dos Recommendation Sent: June 12 (delayed because i have incomplete information - ds2019, i have to resent it again)

USCIS received my case and generate i797c: June 22nd

Now i am still desperately waiting my stupid waiver. 

Anybody who share the same time line, you can email wangyuesong0@gmail.com and we can share some status.

Hi all

USCIS received my case June 28. Since then it is pending. Any idea folks, what is the current wait time?

Yes I did

even tried to call them but was an automated line. Entering those numbers said the same thing. Does it take some time before which you can track?

HI just received the USCIS I-797C notice of action

When i am trying to check the status, it says "My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283".

Does one have to wait for sometime? My received date is 06/27/2018 and date of notice  06/28/2018. Can anyone suggest how to get this resolved.; OR is there anyone who received I-797 recently (just to know the wait time)

Thanks

Roughly 10 days, depending where the letter is being sent. 

 

My job applied for H1B with the DOS letter but I was in the US. If you are abroad you will need the waiver from UCSIS to go to the consulate.

HI 

I just received my Letter from DOS which was sent on June 22,2018. Does anyone know how to track the I-797 at USCIS?  The letter does not have any unique case number other than the DOS case no. I t would be great if anyone could provide me the link to the website of USCIS for tascking  the generation of I-797. Waiting eagerly please?

HI 

I see my j1 waiver recommendation from DoS  as "recommendation sent" on 22nd June 2018. How long does it take for the letter from DoS to arrive in mail. I talked to my department administrator, acc to him my H1B (premium)  is going to California, while I will get my I-797 from USCIS Vermont,  so if he proceeds with  just the DoS letter, I-797  may not get connected. Does anyone knows how long does USCIS take to send the I-797.

I would be very thankful?

Hi,

They can apply for the H1B if you are in the US and you are AOS from another visa (e.g. F1) to H1B. They cannot apply if you are abroad and doing consular processing. 

Will you work for a university or some organization that is not capped? 

The salary is based on the company/university and it cannot be lower than it should be. You should never accept a salary that is low because they are trying to take advantage of you!

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I am in USA transitioning from J1 to H1B. I am just chnging the position from Post Doc Scholar to Research Associate in the same university. and my university is cap exempt (non-profit). Can i Still apply?

I think i have to wait until i get the Letter of recommendation from DOS? or from USCIS ? Who sends NOA USCIS or DOS? IS NOA same as I-797?

You are waiting for the waiver from UCSIS? My timeline won't be informative because my work applied for an H1B w/premium processing before I got that so everything go resolved together. I got the waiver like 10 days after the NOA1, very fast.

 

 

Hi,

My work also is ready to apply for H1B, just waiting for the J1 waiver. My waiver form DOS has been granted, and i am waiting for the document in my mail. Now that the waiver has been granted (june 22, 2018 : online) can i ask my office to proceed with H1B premium processing, or i have to wait until i receive the i-797 from USCIS. My guess is that the visa processing also has to be done from the same USCIS, this would save some time. I am expecting a position change too, (research Associate) which i cannot join until H1B is approved.

Also, does anyone know what is the mimimum salary on H1B research associate with 4 years of experience in the same department.

How long does it take after DOS sends favorable recommendation to uscis. I mean how long does USCIS take to deliver the I-797. Also, is there nay website to check the status on USCIS website?

Yes I can login

How long do i need to wait...

I see above that people who's documents were received May 16, 2018 have been issued recommendation. How long would it take for the USCIS to release i-797
