Hi Immigration Gurus,
My employer had submitted my H1B Extension petition to USCIS at Vermont Service Center on May 9th and USCIS responded with a Receipt Number (EAC Number) on May 11th. From that day (05-11-2009) till today (08-25-2009), the status of my application has not yet changed. My friends who had applied after me have either got Request For Evidence (RFE) or have approval notices. It is nearly 4 months since submission and the status of my application does not have an update. Can anybody let me know the reason for the same status for such a long time? Please find below the message displayed once I key in my Receipt Number (EAC Number).
Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: Case received and pending.
