WASHINGTON – Due to the unprecedented volume of recent H-1B filings, U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) is temporarily experiencing a receipting/data-entry (DE) front log at its
Service Centers. In an effort to give our customers more accurate information about current receipting
timeframes and USCIS service level commitments, we are providing the following projections for fee
receipting and data entry processing for H-1B cap cases currently at our Service Centers:
Note: These projections do not apply to Premium Processing or I-129 H-1B (cap or non-cap) cases.
California Service Center
USCIS expects to provide in time-compliance for receipting of all form types by June 15, 2007.
Nebraska Service Center
USCIS is currently providing in time-compliance for receipting of all form types as of May 10, 2007
Texas Service Center
USCIS is currently providing in time-compliance for receipting of all form types as of May 10, 2007.
Vermont Service Center
USCIS expects to provide in time-compliance for receipting of all form types by June 2, 2007.
USCIS reminds the public that it may take additional time for a Service Center to complete fee receipting
and data entry of an application or petition received and for the receiving Center to mail the appropriate
receipt notice. USCIS recommends that persons who have filed a petition or application with USCIS wait at
least thirty days from the applicable receipt processing timeframe noted above, before contacting USCIS
with inquiries about form receipting. If a response is not received from USCIS within thirty days of the dates
listed above, please check the USCIS website at
www.uscis.gov or call USCIS customer service at 1-800-
375-5283 for updated processing information.
