http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/H1BReceipts051107.pdf An announcement came from the USCIS on May 11, 2007 that they were unable to meet their projected deadline of that date for issuance of all receipts on regular H1B cap-subject filings. This was attributed to the receipting and data entry required for such high case volume. This means that there are still H1B regular cap cases that were selected in the lottery, but that have not yet been issued receipts. VSC Receipts by June 2nd and CSC by June 15th The USCIS did not provide a date by which all cap cases absolutely will be receipted. They did provide information about the Vermont and California Service Centers' (VSC and CSC) expectations for when they will be back in compliance with the timeframes for issuing receipt notices on the H1B cap-subject cases. These dates are June 2, 2007 for the VSC and June 15, 2007 for the CSC. The USCIS is asking the public to wait at least 30 days from these dates before contacting them with inquiries about H1B receipts. Mailing Delays Possible after June 15, 2007 The USCIS reminds everyone that further delays may be experienced in the mailing of receipts, once they have been issued. Many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers are waiting to learn what has happened with their cap-subject H1B cases, so this update should provide them with at least a little assurance.
