In the top left-hand corner of the receipt notice is the case receipt number, which confirms the processing of your case as well as allowing you to track the case through USCIS Case Status Online.
For example, your receipt number might read something like this: EAC We will explain how to read the number below. Find this on the receipt notice mailed to the employer after USCIS accepted your case for processing. On the processing times web page, first select "I," which is the form the employer submits for H-1B petitions. How will you know which service center to select? The first three letters of the receipt number indicate the service center where your application was filed.
As of , this is either the Vermont Service Center, the California Service Center, the Nebraska Service Center, or the Texas Service Center, depending on where your employer's office is located, which center serves that geographic region, and which type of H-1B petition the employer is submitting, for instance change of employer, extension of status with no changes, or cap-exempt employer.
The case processing website provides an "Estimated time range. There also is a "Receipt date for a case inquiry," which is explained below, for when your petition is beyond the processing time range.
The information you get from the processing times website is USCIS's best guess based on its most recent data. But if your case is outside of the estimated processing time, the employer can call USCIS at or use the link on the processing times page to place a service request. For instance, if the case was receipted July 31, and the "Receipt date for a case inquiry" is August 1, , this would indicate that USCIS already should have reviewed your petition or reached a final decision, approval, or denial.
Once the agent places the service request on the case, USCIS will provide a confirmation number as well as a new estimated time of processing, typically 30 to 60 more days. Of course, if your employer paid for premium processing, there is a guarantee of a decision within 15 days, so you should be able to rely on that.
If it is taking longer, your employer might have received a Request for Evidence that needs to be responded to before USCIS can make a decision. But even so, USCIS should make a decision within 15 days after receiving your employer's response to the request. As mentioned above, you might be applying under the H-1B cap—that is, an annual limit of 65, on the number of H-1B petitions approved. USCIS allows "cap" petitions to be filed six months before the start of the "fiscal year," which begins on October 1.
H-1B "cap" workers can't get their H-1B status, and start their job, until October 1 at the soonest. So many people want H-1B status in most years that there's a lottery just to be selected to apply.
After several years in the planning, USCIS began implementing a new, pre-filing registration system in
