I - 129 H1B processing time.
Hi, Just wanted to know why does the petition approval ( I - 129, H1B) from California center taking so long. it's been 5 months and still case status showing as Received.

California
vaibhav jiwatodeNov 23, 2021
You should talk to USCIS about it give them a call
B
B YNov 23, 2021
that's not recommended. Either Employer or Attorney should raise a request to USCIS
vaibhav jiwatodeNov 23, 2021
dude it’s been 5 months
A
Anu SoyeeshNov 23, 2021
We can't call them. my employer has already raised service request. Now waiting for the response.
B
B YNov 23, 2021
even if it is 6 months or 1 year. we are not supposed and that highly not recommended

Anu SoyeeshNov 25, 2021
Hi all, got a response from USCIS to Attorney. They were saying they wanted to quickly do an immigration/ employer audit in the employer's place because they are assuming that the employer mostly hiring from one country. Just wanted to check whether this will delay the petition approval.
B
B YNov 26, 2021
yeah. this will delay approval. check with attorney. he would know the process and generally USCIS will inform your comp when they are visiting for audit.
A
Anu SoyeeshNov 26, 2021
yes. the audit was confirmed on November 24. it's already finished. If it is already done, do we need to wait for a long time?
B
B YNov 26, 2021
I Don think so. any update from your Employer?
A
Anu SoyeeshNov 26, 2021
ok, thank you for the replies. The employer told they will update it soon.
B
B YNov 26, 2021
oh nice. Did they told how did it went and other details? or just replied will update soon ?
A
Anu SoyeeshNov 26, 2021
They told they will update the details of the audit after 2-3 days of audit. They mailed us before the audit.

will it go beyond March....
B
B YJan 11, 2022
May be. if you see processing times for CA, it is 5.5 to 7.5 months now. they are keep changing it. I have noticed it twice or thrice.
A
Anu SoyeeshJan 11, 2022
yeah. exactly..This is really a long wait. hope they will make it fast from this month.
B
B YJan 11, 2022
yeah. hoping so. in one of the qstn posted regarding timelines,one of the user said USCIS said they have increased work force it seems from Jan. not sure if that is right statement.
vaibhav jiwatodeJan 11, 2022
even paying for premium now is waste

B YFeb 18, 2022
oh ok fine. when responding to RFE I guess you can upgrade to premium processing.. it might be expensive but if you are wiling to move faster and get rid of this non sense delays, go for premium processing.
A
Anu SoyeeshFeb 18, 2022
yes. that is the best option....fed up of waiting
B
B YFeb 18, 2022
