Hi. I have been petitioned by my employer for an H1. My lawyer filed the application about three weeks ago. However, we still have not received the filing receipt from the Vermont Service Center until now. My lawyer said that it generally takes 7 weeks. I wanted to verify if this is indeed true as I am beginning to feel mislead by my attorney. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could give me any information as to how long a filing receipt is received after filing an H1 petition. Thanks.
