Guys,
Dont worry. One of my friend got the same notice. It just says that you amended your application from normal processing to premium. anyways wait for the notice copy that comes to your attorney and cross-verify.

Hello ssah,
Around 5000 applications were transferred out of Vermont to other service centre. This is the reason why people with May 8th have the approval while ppl with April 28 and more still waiting. Do not worry, yours will soon be on the way.
Vermont is very very slow. I dont know...
Hello,
I am almost in the same boat as StillHoping and b2embedded....My application reached on 26th May and I have a reciept notice of June 6th..When I check the status it shows that it is in process and will take 90-150 days. Any idea how to check if it will be considered for the quota...
Mine filed in April 1 week. Today its already July 14th and I have not yet recieved the EAC number...It was a fresh H1 under normal processing. What could be wrong?
Hi Arun,
Spoke to my employer, he says that he is still waiting for the EAC number...god knows when it will come. I do not understand why they are taking 3.5 months to just send the reciept number.

Is anyone still waiting for the EAC number whose petition was filed in April? Please let me know. I know this is a strange situation but I am facing it.

Paddy
Hi Arun,
It is really wierd. Even I am in a worse state. Mine was filed on Apr 3 (first day) and not yet recieved the EAC number untill july 10. Almost lost hopes.
Hope it comes.

Hi Bhavya,
EAC number (petition reciept number) is more than enough to book an appointment date.
Please go ahead and purchace the HDFC DD for Rs 4881 and it will get activated in 2 days time. After that login to http://vfs-usa.co.in and book an appointment date. It will ask u to enter the DD...
Hi Raja,
Whatever you have read is perfectly right. if the consulate in which you will be booking the date is behind schedule of 2-3 months then you can safely book the appointment date and then wait for the approval in the meanwhile and then attend the interview. To make this clear lets see...
Dont worry. Go ahead and book the date. You just need the EAC number on the I-797 form and the DD number to book the date. There is no need to get panic.

Hi All,
My employer said he had filed my H1 B application in the month of April. But I have not yet recieved the EAC number. 2 of my friends who applied along with me already recieved the EAC number. Is anyone in the same state?
PS: This was a new H1 application.
What could have gone...
If you have recieved the EAC number then dont worry...rejected applications do not recieve a notice number...but my case is some what strange, my employer filed my H1 on the 3 of April. That was the first day. I have not received the EAC number till date. Anybody in the same situation?
Hi jaacmat,
did u file a premium processing? I sent my documents in mid feb to my employer and he said my H1 was filed on the first day itself. But i have not recieved the i-797 untill now..could it be a delay or that the H1 petition was rejected?
And if rejected does the petitioner get a...
I thought this information would be helpful for many ppl.
You need not wait for the approval of the H1 petition to take the VISA appointment date. All that you need is the EAC number and the DD number. Some information needed while filling the DS 156 and DS 157 form may not be known during...
The VFS website just says that the I-797 form and DD number is needed to block the date. I have the 797 form which does not have the expiry dates but just the EAC number. Anyways I will give it a try, but have to take some amount of risk.
Thanks for all your comments on this. Kindly keep me...
