H1B filed in August- regular

[patkt]

Hi jasukira,
What additional evidence was required? I have received a request to submit documents explaining how is my background(chemical engg) is relevant to a software job and why does the company need a masters' degree for this position?

I still have to reply to it. It usually takes between 3-4 weeks from the date they receive the additional requested docs.

Docs nature not revealed.

Hi patkt,

When i contacted my employer they have mentioned that the docs for additional information is clarifying companies details something like that....therz nothing pertaining to things which i'am to be involved. Should i know it clearly...they said they have submitted the docs at the office.

Regards,
Jasukira

Got Approval on March 1st

Hi All,

Thanks for your suggestions and clarifications finally i got my approval on march 1st. Below is my update flow:

New H1 - India(Chennai) - RD: Aug-11-2005 - RFE: 28th Nov - Documents Submitted: Jan 18th 2006 - Approved 1st March 2006.

I have a question on behalf of my friend, His status is as below:
New H1 - India(Chennai) - RD: Aug-11-2005. But till date there is no change in his status. on contacting his employer, they said that his h1 did not get into current quota and that it will be considered automatically the next quota.
I would like to have your advice on this. Is it true that he need not apply again for 2006? will it be considered in the comming quota as suggested by his employer?

Please clarify at your convenience.

Regards,
JASUKIRA
