H4 to L1 - 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped on your I129


Hi All,

I applied for L1 and I am currently in H4 dependent visa. I applied through premium processing and my employer received RFE in the 2nd week. The RFE response was submitted to USCIS. Immediately the case status changed to Initial review and stayed the same for 14 days. Then the status description changed to

On January 18, 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.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

It has been 4 days since then and nothing has changed. I researched through the forums and found that this is normal these days but everyone seemed to have their status changed to decision within a few hours of getting this. But in my case it has been the same since 4 days making me worried.

If anyone has any similar experience please do share and throw some light on this.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Any help would be really appreciated. Waiting through some tense moments.

Contact your employer, they might have already got a notice from USCIS. However one of my colleagues was in the similar situation and he got the denied and traveled back to home country.

All the best...

Thanks for the response. But my employer says he hasnt received any kind of communication from USCIS. No emails or fax or mails making things confused. :-(

H1 Transfer in PP

Hi,

Mine is as follows:

01/31 - H1B PP receipt
02/8 - RFE
02/14 - RFE responded
02/19 - USCIS website updated: "Initial Review" with 15 days clock started
03/4 - USCIS Website updated: with 15 days clock stopped. Case status still showing: "Initial review"

Isn't it's supposed to change to "Decision".

Anybody in same situation?

I'm on the same boat: "On March 22, 2013, the 15-day Premium Processing clock stopped". 4 days left, nothing from USCIS since then. Have anyone from this thread received any update from USCIS?

MY L1 petition was filed under pp. Got RFE on May 9, 2013.
RFE responded on July 3, 2013.
Now Clock stopped on 12 July, 2013.
Status is the same even today. My attorney/employer did not receive any notice.

What this means Approval/Denial or another RFE?
