USCIS' News about Receipt Notices for H-1B Cases

On May 2, 2007, USCIS confirmed that it would send out receipt notices for all cap cases by May 11. If you don't receive the receipt notice a reasonable period of time after May 11. That means your case is not selected by the random selection procedure or something else is wrong, you need to inquire the USCIS on this regard.

In addition, USCIS also addressed the issue of multiple approved H-1B petitions for the same person. For example, an alien filed an H-1B subject to the 65,000 cap, and it was approved; before this petition was approved, he filed another H-1B petition subject to the 20,000 advance degree cap, and this petition was approved too. Under this circumstance, what H-1B should the applicant revoke? USCIS indicates it doesn't matter from the beneficiary's perspective. Once he or she has earned the Master's degree he or she will always be exempt unless the law changes so there are no future cap issues. The beneficiary can revoke either one.
