I got my H1b approved recently, last Friday the law firm Seyfarth reached out asking for my address to ship the i797 and approval notice. It's been 4-5 days and I haven't received it yet. Are they slow to mail it out? Any experience is appreciated. I'm at Deloitte if that helps

Seyfarth's IT systems were a target of ransomware over the past weekend. they are not in a BAU mode right now. that might have some impact on mailing out your approval notice.

Good to know, I sent my email out late last Friday so that makes sense on the surface. I've reached out to the team directly but it's still nerve wracking and I wanted some input from the community. Thanks!

When did the USCIS receive your application? Did you file premium?

No premium at any point btw

And when they ship, they will send you the tracking info. So nothing to be alarmed. In your case, it looks like they haven’t shipped yet.

Had the same happen. Didn't ship for like a week, and then FedEx priority reached in like 3 days after they picked up the package. Don't worry, it'll come to you soon.

Thanks guys, I sent them an email, and it was indeed the attack that slowed it down. They mailed it out
