H1-b extension applied in premium process. No receipt # after 3 weeks

[yasha_shree]

Hi,

We submitted H1-b extension case to USCIS on Apr 21st. As per fedex tracking it was delivered on Apr 22nd. Still have not received receipt# yet. Employer has raised a case with USCIS. USCIS is working with their records management team to find out the details and asked to wait for their response before re-file.

However the issue is what if they can't track the package. USCIS is going to stop taking premium processing cases for H1-b extension from May 26th. So if we re-file within couple of days, will it be considered for premium processing considering previous date of submission? What if we don't have receipt# by end of visa (Jun 30th)?

I dont think you would have to wait till June 30th to get a receipt. Keep following up with USCIS.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
