Yea but their email states that I provide dates post my current H1-B end date (sept 2018) so that they can determine how long I get an Extension for. Most of us don’t know where we land up after 3 months

Anyone have their extension petition recently filed ? (EY)

I'm in same boat as well. When they say "hold", they meant just more clarity. To decide the best course of action. You don't have to do anything. I got that notice 3 weeks back. But if u track the progress of case, everything else keeps moving forward. Relax and follow up again after some time.

The real concern here is to maintain client confidentiality and they are figuring out , how best to handle this.

So they normally file full term based out of ur base location, with lca for different location..

So if u don't know after 3 months, ur base h1b will still be applied with continuous need for amendments.

@EY you have to wait and see , they told that they are resuming filling this week, starting with them who work out of EY offices, then they will follow with the others. Keep us posted on your progress.

Yup AM1 is right and I can confirm

Confirm? As in ur petition is getting filed?

Yes hopefully soon. I got email requesting more details. I’ll working from another office not client.

Cool,..good luck.

Thanks , you too

I don’t think so.
