Pending H-1B Applications Update from VCS

October 31st, 2008 | Category: H-1B,News

We have received a number of inquiries about H-1B applications which are still pending.  For those with such pending applications at the Vermont Service Center, our information, which is as of October 20th, is that there were 4,345 petitions that were part of this fiscal year’s cap and which were not completely adjudicated.  Of these, 1646 awaited a first look and 1,533 were pending security clearance.

For comparison, as of mid-September, the numbers were 6,344 petitions pending, of which 2,245 untouched and 2,079 were under security review.  According to these numbers, it seems that the Vermont Service Center has adjudicated approximately 2,000 petitions in a month.  This means that if the current rate of adjudication remains stable, there will be some H-1Bs pending until Christmas.
