If you have receipt nos and then you can call to USCIS and find out what going on. They will response immediately by giving a call in 1-800 numbers.

There is doubt in your thread. If you do not have receipt nos. then then consultancy is taking money till date of September 30 (through your OPT) and may say you already get denied letter.

There are two options, if you are receipt no. call or check online through USCIS websites. However, once the H1 is effective then you will. However, regarding CAP- you can't fall under CAP rules as I know, once you have received allotment letter, then you have suppose and your employer or lawyers must be sent the letter to USCIS within 30days from date of receipt the case nos and we will be able to get such previlages.

So, make sure that and call as soon as possible to USCIS or check through online. Or consult with immigration lawyer ASAP. Even lawyer will take 10/15 days to make filing and documentations.

Write me email, if you need further information.

Good luck.
