Hello,

I won the lottery for H1 (got notified in May that i won). I was supposed to receive the notice on October 1st, 2018. Today is January 7th, 2019. I asked my lawyer and he said they are still waiting for the approval notice and that i should be patient.

Has anyone that won the lottery in 2018 received their I-129 notice? How much longer would it take to receive this notice?

Thanks,
 
H-1B job start date can be Oct 1st 2018 but not necessarily it has to be approved by that date going with so much backlog of H-1B cases with USCIS is currently going through. You need to wait until you receive your approval notice to start H-1B job.
 
how long is the backlog? i'm current on TN Status which is valid until May 2020, so timing is not an issue,
