The employer always has the option to upgrade to PP. Discuss w/ them about this.

Hi Saurabh,

Thanks much for your answer.

I have already waited till November. is it better to wait till i receive the update or upgrade to premium? What do you suggest?

Thanks in advance

I assume you are outside US.

If you have immediate need to get visa stamped and travel to US to work on H-1, then get it upgraded. If you want clarity on the result so that you can work on other employment/immigration options, then get it upgraded. If neither of these, then personally I would just wait and not spend $1225.00.

Hi Saurabh,

Thanks for quick replay and clarification.

When can i expect some update, Normally howmuch time USCIS takes to complete process for all the petiotions picked up in the lottory .is there any thing like they normally complete the processing by Dec or Jan as they have to accept the new applications in the april.

Thanks in advance
