HI....I am on OPT right now and it expires in July 2006. I am really worried because although I submitted my information to my employer at the beginning of July the Human Resources only sent in the application on the 9th of July. Now when I asked HR if the application had made it in on time(that is August 10th) they said that they hav'nt heard back from the lawyers and are assuming the papers got in, in time for this years quota.I inquired with HR on the 13th of August. Today(August 29th) when I asked HR for an update the person in charge said they had received an email from the lawyers saying that they had'nt heard back from USCIS and that the usual time it takes to get a receipt of application is 3 weeks(which is tomorrow) and the whole applications process usually takes about 3months. I am very worried because 3 weeks is basically up and they hav'nt heard back? Does this mean I did not make the quota? And what is the last day of the year usually till when USCIS approves applications?
Another problem I have is that I am interested in switching my job as soon as possible. Now since my H1B is pending with Company A is there any possible way to have Company B transfer my visa over? Also how long does this trasfer process take?Is there even any point in going for my interviews if I cant switch companies right now?
Could someone please respond as soon as possible as I am extremely worried and confused about this process!
