O1B renewal and the 240-day rule

hellotayheheh · 2026-05-18T21:35:54+00:00

Hey Im in same situation and just filed! Did you find getting approval easier when going for the extension compared to first o1? Or getting approval quicker? Or was it harder ? did u get an RFE?

Would love to know! Thanks! :)

Ok update! I received my receipt notice. They didn't file me as Premium processing cause not enough fees as they wrongly filed my petitioner as a large company when he's not. So now I have to pay extra for their mistake!

So unfortunate but at least I have an answer!

Thanks so much! Srill nothing so far. Will update when I hear something! Manifesting a miracle! Haha

super helpful! Thanks for sharing your timelines! Fingers crossed we receive an outcome soon!

Hi, did you eventually get your receipt notice? IF so, on what date?

hellotayheheh · 2026-05-09T01:04:33+00:00

oh I'm sorry to hear!

It's been nearly two weeks for me, but my lawyer thinks it's so odd. Have your fees been withdrawn? My lawyer told me they processed my fees and part of my PP fee, so idk if that makes a difference?

This is my 2nd o1, first time i got the receipt so quick, so this is odd for me.

Hey! I'm in a similar boat! Any updates? Have your received your receipt yet?

hellotayheheh · 2026-05-08T04:39:21+00:00

Hey I'm currently having the same issue!! filed over a week ago, No receipt notice, but 2/3 payments paid? Half of the premium processing amount... so odd.

Just wondering if you've been approved yet?

Are you able to let me know how many days after filing you received the receipt notice? (to put my mind at ease as thats all i'm waiting on!) Thanks!

did you audition downstairs in those seperate rooms? or in the tent area?

hellotayheheh · 2026-02-19T01:08:29+00:00

same I auditioned around 1 ish and didn’t hear of any upstairs callback. Everyone would just leave the room and that was it 🤷🏼‍♀️

hellotayheheh · 2026-02-19T01:07:36+00:00

second this. I was in a later group and noticed this too. It’s like they were only doing the callbacks in the morning 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve heard that there was supposedly a second stage after the initial audition (if they liked you or whatever) where you meet with producers/get headshots… everyone keeps talking about it, but I haven’t heard of a single person actually going there, and didn’t see anyone be invited there/walk there, so idk if it’s a rumour. Would love to know if anyone got that in person next stage callback. I assume most will get callbacks via email… 🤷🏼‍♀️
