H1B Decision pending after 15 days under premium processing

Hi,

	My Case detail:

	 

	Case # EAC131365****

	Normal Processing

	Receipt Date : 04/08/13

	Request Of Evidence : 07/15/13

	RFE Submitted : 08/17/2013

	RFE resoinse Review: 08/23/2013

	Converted to premium : 09/11/2013

	Initial review: 09/12/2013

	Acceptance : 09/13/2013

	 

	15 days over on 09/26/2013 - Still no decision

	 

	Follow up with USCIS : 09/30/2013 - USCIS :Due to huge pending works we can't meet the 15 days deadline, we will return your premium processing fees and expedite your case to give a decision as soon as possible, no timeframe given.

	 

	Took off from work after 09/30/2013 since I can't work after 30th SEP as my CAPGAP OPT is over.

	 

	Still waiting for decision, client is asking for joining date, chance of loosing project.

	- thinking of taking admission for MBA and get CPT so save my project and to be on safe side

	 

	Que. 

	1.  What are the chances of getting decision by next week? ( premium processing 15 days already over)

	2. Will there be any impact with existing case if I took admission and start working under CPT?

	3. What will happen if my project terminates while pending h1b ( E-V-C model)

	 

	Anyone please, share any advise or experience.  Going through a tough time. Have no idea where I am heading to with this situation.

	 

	Thanks for your time to read my post.

Hello Nayan,

Please consult your lawyer before taking admission and start working under CPT. I think you can’t do anything right now. Just pray for God will help you. I believe you will get the decision from USCIS soon. Good luck to you…

Best,

Do NOT work on CPT. I have been seeing lot of problems because of misuse of CPT. even after 2-3 years

Finally I got approval on 4th oct. Might be helpfull to someone who is in same situation.
