My lawyer has told me my petition was rejected due to Cap Reached.
He also told me he will be filling petition again in 3 weeks.
Is that possible to file a case for April 1st. before this date?

Hi all ,
My consultant has submitted my H1B application in the month May 2009, right now my application stats RFE state .. I am not sure why its getting this much delay .. Is there any Reason for this much delay ? , Do I need to get any info or submit any info to attorney ?
Please advise when this be processed and will it take this much time for processing ?
So I will be effected by this as my documentation was sent last week. Since we were expecting to get my H1B prior to getting my OPT started, I don’t know what to do. In addition to applying all over again, my OPT doesn’t start 45 days from now, what are my options? Can I file for a change of date to start earlier? Online status states my OPT application has been processed. My employer is in state of urgency to get me started?
So if my visa application is denied due to the cap, what does that mean for me? Do I just appeal it in Jan 2010 or do I have to go through the whole process again?
You have to go through whole process all over again.
Hello, What if my application is rejected because cap-subject, Do USCIS refund all fees I send them along my application?
