Vermont center ?

First california then Vermont

Curious as to why you didn't upgrade it to premium processing at some point? I understand that you have 240 days from your previous expiry to continue working if your renewal is pending but seems like the mental stress and anxiety would be terrible.

Interesting. Didn't know that was a thing. My renewal was filed in April 2020, upgraded to PP last week and got my approval in three days so YMMV I guess.

Interesting: applied for extension in March 2020 and got approved in 12 days under regular processing for full 3 yrs

I have heard and experienced that Vermont center is a black hole 🕳.

Mine was approved in less than 3 weeks . Crazy that it took you that long

Hi fishers! I have offer and signed contract with Deloitte UK and my start day is in the beginning of April. I need skilled worker visa, and we haven’t applied yet for that. Screening and onboarding is in progress. Immigration team doesn’t reply since reached me out 1st time. How much time does it usually needed to go through the whole process? How many days take for visa to be approved since application?Deloitte

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon. Can my license be renewed without the original extension petition? Or do I need to wait for the originals to come in. Trying to understand what do I need to carry to the DMV. Based in CA. Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.
