Hi All.

What is the average time taken by USCIS to send across the receipt numbers for Premium Processing? (PP). For example, if filed on 6th AUG 09, when should one hope to receive the receipt number?

I read the article, above but it does not seem to mention this number.

I have applied for H1 transfer two weeks back. I am still waiting for my receipt to come by. I was under the assumption that receipts
for premium processing was done by email and later with a hard copy. I have not received anything till now. They have received my petition application. Has anybody have received email notification
from USCIS for receipt or approval by email before receiving hard copy of it for PP.

Receipt number for my petition came on April 13th and approval on April 16th. My case was masters with premium processing (CSC). The usCIS online case status still shows the case as pending. So I am thinking that it is not updated real time.I got the Approval notice from the attorney on may 1 when I contacted him and asked about the update.
Ask your attorney about your case.
I also called the Uscis and talked to customer service at California Service Center and they told me that they have processed and approved the case. I called them on April 28 as I was also freaking out.

hello, like what was listed above, my lawyer sent me the receipt saying that USCIS received the application on the 7th of April but when i check my status online, it still says that my case has been received and pending and that they received my application on the 10th so i am very confused. if the processing times begins on the 10th, that means that the 15 day window ended on the 1st of May (friday). Still my status says: case received and pending. isnt USCIS supposed to send out the results by at least the 1st of May or is it that the website is not updated regularly? I haven’t gotten any RFE or anything. I am beginning to freak out a little. Please help. One last question, is the result that your application has been selected for review the receipt that they mail your lawyer? I have Premium processing. Thanks

Hi Realist,

Till now, the online status is still “Case received and pending.”.

Since the 15-day time window was over, I had to contact the lawyer office for checking the update of my case yesterday.

And the lawyer notified me that actually my case has been approved!

My experience shows that you cannot only reply on the online status. It is not updated in realtime!
