Initial Review
On May 6, 2013, the 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. A notice was sent on this date explaining the specific reason for stopping the premium processing of your case. This notice will contain detailed information on further action required by you. Your premium processing receipt notice contains contact information for direct inquiries on your case.
Hi Alok…I am on the same boat, till what time you have to wait for Initial Review stage with this message (clock stopped). For me its more than 24hrs and my status is still at Initial review. i am worried if I got the RFE?
Till ur employer do not respond to the RFE(which is i am sure in your case),
In RFE they ask simple things like Client letter, Share profile if created for new Employer etc. once RFE is submitted they again start the clock to meet their 15 day SLA
Hello all, please let me know if anybody faces the similar situation as below…
I have submitted H1B extension through my current employer on Nov 29, 2013 on Normal processing. Mine is a typical E-V-V-C. My petition and I-94 expired on Dec 31, 2013. On March 2014, I got RFE asking the following:
A complete itinerary of services or engagements that specifies the dates of each service or engagement, the names and addresses of the actual employers, and the names and addresses of the establishment, venues, or locations where the services will be performed for the period of time requested
Copies of signed contractual agreements, statements of work, work orders, service agreements, and letters between the petitioner and the authorized officials of the ultimate end-client companies where the work will actually be performed by the beneficiary, which provide information such as a detailed description of the duties the beneficiary will perform, the qualifications that are required to perform the job duties, salary or wages paid, hours worked, benefits, a brief description of who will supervise the beneficiary and their duties, and any other related evidence
Copy of position description or any other documentation that describes the skills required to perform the job offered, the source of the instrumentalities and tools needed to perform the job, the product to be developed or the service to be provided, the location where the beneficiary will perform the duties, the duration of the relationship between the petitioner and beneficiary, whether the petitioner has the right to assign additional duties, the extent of petitioner’s discretion over when and how long the beneficiary will work, the method of payment, the petitioner’s role in paying and hiring assistants to be utilized by the beneficiary, whether the work to be performed is part of the regular business of the petitioner, the provision of employee benefits, and the tax treatment of the beneficiary in relation to the petitioner
As evidences, apart from the documents from my employer, I have provided the below to my attorney:
My client does not provide a client letter but I got client letter denial email
A letter from Implementation partner. Implementation partner denied to provide any SOW as those are strictly confidential.
My end client embarkation WO master
SOW between Implementation partner and Middle Vendor and Middle Vendor and my Employer
Couple of email communications between End Client manager and Implementation Partner manager involving me and my work
Couple of email communications and training completion certifications (with my End Client manager’s name in it) from End Client manager addressing to me
Workplace pics
H/W & S/W access request approval emails from End Client
Bi-weekly status reports to my employer
End Client and Implementation Partner timesheets
Co-worker affidavits
Profile details from internal site mentioning my name, End Client manager’s name and Implementation Partner name
My RFE response submitted to USCIS by Attorney on May 19, 2014 and on May 20, 2014 status was “Request for Evidence Response Review”. On May 21, status changed to “Initial Review”. Couple of questions:
Is this kind of status change normal?
Do I stand a chance that my RFE gets cleared?
How long will this take to see any decision?
I am quite paranoid and seeking advice what alternatives I have now.
