Does Getting Reciept Number mean we are within the current quota?

Hi,

I filed for my H-1b at the very last minute.

My lawyer told me that it reached the INS Vermount Center on the afternoon of the 9th of August. The day before which they stopped accepting applications i.e 10th of August.

As soon as I got the receipt no (EAC no) from my lawyer I checked in the website, it states that our i129 petition was received on 12th of August.


What does it mean? Did my application go through or not?

More precisely my question is will they issue a EAC receipt number if they did not accept applications/ or do they issue receipt number for all applications and on a later stage return the application based on quota issues?

Any reply wud be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
