Hi Guys

I have received the Favorable recommendation on March 25. I was very worried but at last I got it. Can you tell me how can I know when USCIS has received my case? I know USCIS will issue a notice and they will mail that letter. But before that is there any way to know when they will receive my case? Some of you mentioned the date when  USCIS received the case, so I am little bit confused.

look at the picture for my case

Congratulations! This means they do not process in que. Last email from DOS to me said they process first in and out basis. Feb 21 our NOC received and still waiting. Happy for you that you got out of this mess...Best!

Congratulations! And thanks for sharing the news. Good luck for USCIS process. 

My docs were received on December 18. It means they are not clearing them according to order of receipt. I hope everyone gets their FR soon. 

Ohh wow..congratulations! I hope I will be receiving the same soon.

Hi, do you know, is there any option to continue with J1 due to this emergency. Please let me know.

I have no idea at this time. Once I get waiver probably our OIS office will guide me on this.

That's not good. My Visa is expiring in June. Is there still some chance? 

I'm in the same boat as you. Waiting for waiver and then will see what our OIS says.

In the email response to my query about status update, waiver department said that they are still processing cases. They didn't indicate any change in processing time...hopefully its true and not just the case of copy pasting the standard draft email! 

I badly doubt that they are still processing cases in full capacity. Things are getting slower. Another setback, guys USCIS suspends all H1b premium processing until further notice. I'm in stress now.

Hello 

 

Could someone helps me.

i filled my form online and loose the confirmation page with code bar, case number  ( my laptop switch off) do I have to fill another one? 
 

please help me my first time.

 

thank you 

Yes fill that form again and this time with power plugged-in..They will associate your case with the number only once you send them all the docs. So no worries. Best!

Hi, Did you get FR?

Nope, not yet. I'm also in the same boat. Our OIS office has started case preparation but now this worries me a lot. Additionally, I'm scared about staffing and work from home advisory due to COVID 19. We will be on the receiving end and no one regrets doing that.

Hi vkk, mine was updated on December 18 and still shows pending. 

Hopefully, yours will be coming soon. Please keep updates. This sucks.....

Guys, does anyone got their "Favorable recommendation" once their NOC was received in Jan month? Please update. Mine was received by DOS on Jan 21 and no updates since then. My D/S is expiring in June. Thanks.

Hello ALL, 

I have been reading many posts in this forum and they are very helpful. I just sent out my waiver application on the basis of "no objection" statement to DOS. Their website shows that application materials were received on January 21. Meanwhile, Indian Embassy informed me that they have sent the "no objection statement" directly to the waiver review division on 29th January. I am yet to see that on the DOS website. I guess at this point I need to keep waiting for any update from DOS. However, I got some doubts as I have seen somewhere in this Forum that there is I-612 form. I remember submitting only DS-3035 along with other materials. Am I missing something here? Your feedback will be very helpful. Also, is anyone has applied for waiver during this time, I would like to hear your experience and timeline. Thank you all so much!

Keep calling Indian embassy and ask them to send the NOC again and again. I have submitted my NOC in Sep 21 and wasted my three month for DOS to update the same. DOS takes 1 month to respond to emails. They kept denying. I kept asking since then to Indian embassy to forward my NOC to DOS. Finally they updated that on Jan 21. No further updates since then. Does anyone got their favorable recommendation after DOS received their NOC in Jan month. Please update me. My visa expiring in June.
