My H-1B petition was filled on 1st april toward AD/RP in Vermont center. My work location as per application is Richmond VA and our company head quarter is in Chicago IL. Last week, USCIS sent my H-1B Cap Petition back, stating that it was reviewed for acceptability, but determined that a different Service Center had jurisdiction over the place of employment, and was therefore being rejected. My lawyer resubmitted my application back on Monday with the explanation that It was filled with correct USCIS center. I have following question…. When USCIS say, they reviewed my petition for acceptability does that mean they reviewed my application to place it in the lottery and made a mistake or my application got selected in lottery and then during review they made an error ? If USCIS made an error and didn’t even considered my application toward lottery can I legally appeal USCIS as mistake was on their end ?
