Hi all,
I have applied for a new H1B for my wife. We have not got the approval yet. This is what it says on the INS website.

Your I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER was received on May 10, 2004. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 120 and 180 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete.

Does it take this long to get the approval?
Is there any other way i can get more information on the status of the case? Do you think applying for premium processing is a good idea?

TIA,
Gokulaa
