URGENT advise needed!!! please help!

[pkgal]

I turned in the required documents for my H1B to my company a month and a half ago.I was under the impression that my company had turned in my papers. I only got back a copy of my papers on the 10th-11th and when i checked them it said that the papers were signed 9th Aug. When i inquired with the person incharge of the paperwork and submission she said assumes the papers went in on time as she submitted them to the lawyers on the date they requested and they have not called back to say there is a problem. I am very worried as I have no way of knowing for sure if my papers were excepted or not.

1. Is there anyway I can track/find out if my papers were accepted?
2. How long does USCIS take to let people know they have been rejected or accepted?
3. What are my options if I do get rejected?

I would really appreciate your help as I am extremely worried about this. Thanks a lot.

Assumptions, it is a new h1.
Even the papers are mailed on the same day (9th signed), probably reach 2-3 days unless it is oernight FedEx. I doubt about it.

If it reaches 11th or 12 th aug to INS, you stand for behind random /lottery pick too.
Make back up plans, if you need to stay one more year.

@@@Wait for few days and ask your lawer or whoever filed your papers abotu the receipt notices..
FYI - we filed very last day and we got receipt notices with WAC numbers ..
that means Papers were filed for H1 with USCiS

Thanks a lot for your quick response kishuibm.

How long does it usually take to receieve the receipt? Do they always send a response even if I missed the quota?

hmm.. I got my guys receipt notices yesterday .. Not long i guess .. just week i think so ..

If they missed you get back your packet along with the fees ..
You might have to forget about the attorney fees .. but the regular USCIS fees you can take back ..

Thanks a lot for your quick response kishuibm.
