Delays Continue For H-1B Visas
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has previously announced that the H-1B visa cap was reached within the first day of filing. In fact, so many visa petitions had been filed that a lottery system was set in place to randomly select the petitions that would be considered for an H-1B visa. The lottery took place on April 12, 2007.
Many individuals and employers are still waiting for any indication from Immigration Services about whether their H-1B petition was randomly selected for processing. USCIS admitted today that they were experiencing delays in issuing receipt notices for cases accepted for consideration for an H-1B visa.
For those who have been anxiously awaiting any news regarding the status of your case, there is still a chance that your H-1B visa petition has been selected and you simply have not received notification of this.
In fact, the backlog at immigration service centers is so great that other individuals or employers who have filed non-H-1B visa petitions are also experiencing delays in obtaining receipt notices for their cases.
