Hi,

It was nice to get some relief today as I got emails stating approval of my H1 extension alongwith H4 extension of my family within 2 months at NSC. Details are given below.

Also to mention that based on Murthy's website and newsletter of Feb.11, it is good to note that NSC atleast kept its promise for H1 processing as quoted below.

"It was noted that the progress made in case processing by NSC on H1Bs had slowed a bit recently. Therefore, the NSC was asked whether they had moved personnel away from H1B work to some other area. The NSC advised that they had not shifted personnel from H1B adjudications. Any slowdown was simply due to normal holiday and vacation schedules in late December and early January. They report that they are making efforts to reduce the processing time of H1Bs to 45-60 days by the end of March 2005. Thereafter, they plan to keep enough personnel in place to maintain the processing at that pace."

Anxiously waiting for NSC to improve their performance on 140, 485.
