Clarification required regarding H1B extn !!URGENT pls help

[kokir]

Hi,

I have a urgent clarification regarding my friend's H1B. His petition for H1B extension was filled earlier and its been more than 4 months but still under Initial Review.
He applied for a Indian passport renewal before few days of leaving India and got his new passport. There was a address mismatch issue with his new passport.
Will this cause Petition denial/RFE ?? Could this be the reason for the delay in decision. Please suggest.

Thanks.

Hello, Kokir.

I do not think that there is a delay and that the Passport matter is the reason. If you/your friend filed for the visa under normal processing then it does take this much time to process. Priority Processing would take about 4-5 weeks.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
