All,

According to USCIS they received approximately 172,500 applications for H1-B 2015 cap. This means you only have almost 49% of chance (For advanced degree) or 42% chance (for non advanced degree) of get selected for this years cap.

I have applied for advanced degree exemption and it is been 14 days since my application reached to USCIS. I haven't heard anything from my lawyer. According to USCIS, they have already selected 20,000 Advanced degree quota and 65,000 general quota by April 10.

My concern is, did USCIS already notified those 85,000 applicaitons? I have got nothing from my lawyer until now. Does that means, I am not selected? I am in intense pressure, my OPT is expiring in a couple of months from now. How long it takes to notify all the applicants that they are picked up or not for the further processing? Anyone? any clue?

Thanks,

Nepalisathi1,

Call your school and ask them for your sevis status. Sometimes, USCIS inform your school before they inform you. You can also check with your employer if USCIS deduct money from the account.

Good Luck bro.
