H-1 revalidation tracker in St.Louis/Washington

Dates

Iam also around the same dates

Details: Mail date to st.louis: Jan18,2003
Received date to DC: Jan30,2003

As I checked through the entire thread, I found that almost 90% they got it in 50 to 60 days.

I feel that I should get it between March 11 to March 18.

If anyone has updates please update the forum and that helps.

If you want to check you DC dates you can call 202-663-1225. Options 1 and then 6. They give you the dates it got to DC and also you can ask what dates they are currently processing and your passport expected time.

Keep posting.

DS-156 for H1 visa revalidation

Hi,
I had sent my papers for visa revalidation to St.Louis on Feb 10.
At that time there was no change in DS-156. But now in
http://www.travel.state.gov/visaforms.html
there are changes done to the DS-156 form.

Will this create any problems for my visa stamping.

Also is there any one who has ST.Louis sent date some time
in 1st or 2nd week of Feb?

Thanks,
Sankaran

Me too waiting

I sent on Feb. 10 and was recd at St. Louis on Feb 11. I searched the site but it doesn't mention anything about old DS-156. I guess there should be a cut off date.
 
Finally received my PP today after a weekend and a closed receive front-desk (through Fedex) . Here are the updates

Mail to St Louis: Dec 18
Receive Date @St. Louis: Dec 20
Approve date: Feb 25
Stamp Date: Feb27
FedEx Mail Date from DC: Feb 27
Receive Date: March 4

Don't know the DC system date. Total about 75 days.

About New DS-156 form

Hello,

I sent my PP for revalidation last week with Old DS-156 form. There is some change in the new form like spouse infomation etc.. Is there is a cut off date for accepting old forms. It's really frustrating to see the frequent fee/form changes. Will it be a problem? I'm planning to travel to India end of May for my marriage.

Another frustrating two months ahead for me...(I thought I covered everything fee, photos etc...upto date)


Thanks,
Bal
 
Hi tryst & Bal_H1Holder,
There is nothing mentioned about the old DS-156.
So I believe this we should not have any problem.

Tryst,
As mine(Feb 11 2003) and your St.Louis dates are in the same time please keep me posted if you get any status update.

Thanks,
Sankaran

Hi,

Here I am writing about my case.

My VISA/H1 both got expired on first week of Januray/2003. I have applied for both H1 and H4 extention on first week of November/2002.
I got both the approvals for H1 and H4 on second week of Feb/2003. My wife(H4), she went to india on second week of DEc/2002.
I sent my 0riginal I-797 for revalidation to St-louis. Now my question is , what are the documents that I need to send it to India for my wife stamping.
Can I send H4 approval copy(approved I-539 application) and photo copy of my approval copy(I-797) to get stamping for my wife in India.



please advise,

Thanks in Advance
