I got my H-1 today
I was on OPT and I applied for H-1 in January. My date of receipt was Jan 23rd 2002. In second week of March, my employer received letter from INS stating that INS do not have labor certification approval and requested a copy of it. Actually it was misplaced by INS. While my employer resent it, INS found copy and VISA was ready on 26th March. But on 26th March they received Labor Cert. approval copy that my employer resent.
So INS reopened the case saying it will take another 30 to 60 days. And finally on 2nd May I received my H-1.
Inquire with your employer if they received any such notice for missing docs.
Hope this might help.
