Once the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) sends the filing receipt notice, how long before my H-1B is approved?
• Answer: This is an internal CIS Regional Service Center (RSC) processing variable over which we have not control. Generally, it is governed by the number of available RSC Adjudication Officers and the backlog of cases in that generic case group. We see CIS processing times for H-1B’s vary between 40 to 120 days for adjudication. Obviously, CIS requests for evidence delay the final approval time frame.
