Does anyone else's status is still "Case was Received"? What are the chances it might get approved at this point?

USA H1B Visa
21

30 percent application for cap 2019 still have pending status as per many attorneys. Its not recommended to contact USCCIS. Please wait Dec 31st. Before that all should be clear. Thanks

Thanks for the stats. I was planning to travel outside of US in Dec; so do you know what are the chances for a status update by November?

23

Very high chances, infact highest probability is till Octuber end

24

This is a little comforting in this stressing situation. Thanks

Any call directly to USCIS will trigger system update on your case. That would make your case to the last in queue. Please dont contact USCIS directly. They have mentioned clearly that time duration will be 3.5 to 7.5 months. That duration would put cut off by 31st dec. Please hold till then. Thanks

hmm …any immigration experts here , who can throw some light by probably when we can see a status update on the current H1B ? the usually 6 months period for processing is crossed and still there is no status in change .

31

I got in touch with an H1-B immigration attorney yesterday and he said we may have to wait until February. That is the maximum period he estimated, we may get approvals before that as well.

32

thanks for the news!
hoping for the best .

33

Any recent news , did someone case got approved in near time ?

34

Did someones case approved in near time by chance ? My case has no status update so far .

35

My case also shows “case was received” no updates as of now.

36

it’s already January still we don’t have any updates

37

Update: I got RFE during the first week of November but I’ve got “amazing” lawyers representing me and they wanna take all the 3 months to prepare the response sigh. So soon they’ll reply back to the RFE and we’ll see how long it take for USCIS to reply.
