1400 H-1B Visa 2010 Applications Denied?

By HSB  On June 12, 2009;

During last H1B Cap Count Update on June 1, 2009 it looked like this

  • H1B General Quota – 45,800 H-1B cap-subject
  • Advanced Degree Cap – 20,000

H1B Cap Update June 5, 2009

As of latest update on June 5 it looks like this

  • H1B General Quota – 44,400 H-1B cap-subject
  • Advanced Degree Cap – 20,000

Difference in 1 Week – 1,400 H1B Petitions (may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn). Advanced Degree H1 Cap remains the same.

With Case status online not working properly, what do you think? Is it good or bad news?

    If my Sister has applied for a green card for me, which I presume will take 10-12 years for processing. Meanwhile, if i get a job, which require’s me to travel to USA on H1B visa, Would I still be eligible to apply for H1B Visa?. Would my application for Green Card by my family member disqualify me for H1B Visa. Since Green Card Application is an Immigrant Visa and H1B Visa is a non-Immigration Visa. Could anyone help me out with this query?
    Thanks in advance.

      there is nothing like this , u can apply for h1b visa even ur sister has filed ur papers but while filing form ds156 do not hide this from consulate, pl mention the true things.

    Good daY. I have an H1b Visa Issued last Aug. 2008. Unfortunately i was not able to use because of one big family problem most concern on finances and health. Now that its almost Ok I still have the H1b visa ok until 2011 of september. My question is can I still go to US and use the same H1B Visa safely? Anyone please help.

  3. Divs says:

    Hii..My H1B was denied this year (got to know yesterday)…it was denied last year as well..I did file for MTR last year..but it did not work..So should I appeal for Motion to Reopen again this year?? I have already spent $7000 in total…and I am confused and dejected…

    Can I apply again this year through another employer..as the quota is still open??

    Please advice…

    WHAT IF I FILE AGAIN….I ALREADY GOT DENIED WITH MY FIRST Application…WHA ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED?

  5. AJ says:

    To all folks who’s application got denied: My application was also denined, but my employer filed for MTR (Motion to Reopen/Reconsider) and after 7 weeks, USCIS approved my petition.
    The moral of the story is if your employer has sufficient documentation, USCIS has no reason to deny the petition.

    Have faith in GOD and try again with all the possible evidences on which the denial notice was sent.

    ALL THE BEST

    • pyotrfeldman says:

      When did you receive your denial letter? I thought you’ll be waitnig for 8-10mos when you appeal?

    Dear Concern,
    Could you please let me know when (dead line) all applications will be processed for H1B visa of FY 2010? As per my understanding, Application submission for next financial year (FY 2011) will be started by October,2009.

    Hello! I have a problem with my receipt number given by my employer. Every time I check my status online it says “Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again.” I emailed my employer regarding this, and she told me that it’s natural bec. some of the applications are not updated in the USCIS online. I’m wondering with her responsed, she said the company filed my application April 1, 2009 but still no update. Anyone here has the same problem with me? thanks!

    • amy says:

      @ angel check out the forum “H1B Visa 2009 : Case Received and Pending”…the answer to ur query is right there.

  8. emily says:

    Hi,
    my employer(Consultant) got a rfe from USCIS for details abt my future employment and withdrew the application as i am now on H4 visa and do not have any confirmed employment.Is this rfe query random or are they doing it for all applicants? What can i do next ?

  9. pyotrfeldman says:

    MY H1b application got denied… i spent 3,300 for filing and 1500 for attys fees… is the filing fe refundable if i got denied? whats my best move now? to refile or to appeal? my lawyer said if i appeal i have to wait 8-10 mos for approval… i cant wait that long… Im an RN BSN on F1 visa now in the USA… what is the best move for me now.. thank you… what could be the reason for my denial… thank you

    • amy says:

      @ pyotrfeldman…how and when did u find out that your h1b petition was denied? do you have master’s degree/clinical experience in a specialized field?…im also BSN RN and im quite worried now that i about ur case.

      • pyotrfeldman says:

        no masters… just experienced…. i have met someone from new york a 2008 grad from phils… at the time she filed her h1b… she still didnt have the nclex and didnt have expereience at all… she just passed nclex this june… but yet she got approved… thats why im wondering what went wrong with my application… cuz 5k usd is a big sum of money… Theyre saying that its a matter of luck… to whoever consul will your papers get through

        • sai says:

          what is the reason uscis denied your application ; your employer is nursing home.. what positon did you filed for rn supervisor…
          I got my reciep number 1 1/2 months back but no reply yet.. i am also an rn bsn on f1 visa

          • amy says:

            @ sai : at what service center where u filed?

            • sai says:

              i applied @ vermount

            • sai says:

              amy did you applied through hospital/nursing home and which service center.

              • amy says:

                @ sai…i think it’s a dialysis company…i was filed @ CA service center…no decision yet…what’s ur case stat?..i thought nursing homes are not allowed to sponsor nurses for H1B?

            • sai says:

              amy ; i know there are nurses wking in nursing homes on h1b ; but chances are less to get approved unless the position should be supervisor and they have to prove bsn is the min requirement for the position.

        • amy says:

          @ pyotrfeldman : consult with your atty abt the issue…

          • pyotrfeldman says:

            i applied for homehealth…

            • sai says:

              USCIS cannot reject your petition without any reason.. Also Home Health ? ( Nursing home / care home ) @ wht designation.

              • sai says:

                for hospitals i know tht it will get approve for sure; but for nursing home it depends. Try to find a hospital tht sponsor h1b. Also check for hospitals in nd they need bachelors degree for nurses.

              • pyotrfeldman says:

                ill be filing again under a hospital… ive read that there are stil 20k visa avaialable… ihope this time it will get approved.. i think it was my lawyer’s fault…

              • pyotrfeldman says:

                as Quality assurance officer… the petitioner is too small… it seems like my lawyer just wanted to get the attys fees and just made me pay with out studying the case

            • sai says:

              GOOD LUCK this time ” May god bless U” Pray for me too…

              • amy says:

                @ pyoterfeldman: goodluck.hope ul make it this time.

                @ sai: any developments abt ur case? goodluck to you too hope u get ur approval soon.i got mine a week ago.still waiting for further instructions from my atty/employer.

          • sai says:

    Can anybody tell me if anybody has received application receipt number ..?

  11. SHAYN says:

    Hi…is the USCIS case status online not working? is it not updated?
    im just thinking if the status they have there is the same as the actual one…

    • Amanda says:

      I was having same question after my attorney send out RFE for 2 weeks, but three days ago, my status was updated. So, just be patient, they surly are updating your status.

      Good luck

      • SHAYN says:

        Hi amanda,thanks for replying…once the issues have been corrected do we have to wait 2mos for a desicion…hoping for the best

        • Amanda says:

          umm, I am not quiet sure about this since I am still waiting also. According to the USCIS, they will response to you within 60 days, I guess, it won’t spend that long.

          • Snowbro says:

            They don’t seem to update their Case Status Online… I am physically holding my H1B Approval notice, but online it still says RFE pending…

          • SHAYN says:

            I see,guess we really just have to wait for an official notice from them.Thanks Amanda.

            • SHAYN says:

              @ Snowbro : thanks for the info and congrats on ur approval…as for me i still have no clear idea as to if and when it will be approved.should the case be rejected/denied how much longer before the petitioner gets notified,though im still hoping for a good outcome.Thanks!

    • nicky says:

      Hi;
      I got the H1B approval notice almost 2 months back but USCIS website was showing “Case received and Pending” until 16th July!! So dont worry abt the online messege. It seems that it is not being updated on a regular basis..
