Hi everyone,
My employer told me they’ve submitted my H-1B registration, but I haven’t received any confirmation yet. I want to politely ask them for the registration number or receipt notice.
How do you usually ask HR or your manager for this info without sounding too pushy?
Is it okay to follow up now or should I wait until the selection window ends?
Anyone here got their registration confirmation already?
Would love to hear how others are handling this—especially first-timers!
You should ask for the receipt
Hi Jyothi! Totally understand — it’s a nerve-wracking time, especially for first-timers.
Yes, it’s okay to follow up now, especially since the registration window is closed and employers should have access to confirmation notices from USCIS. Many people are following up this week.
Here’s a message you can use that’s respectful and non-pushy:
Hi [Manager/HR’s Name],
I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to follow up and kindly ask if the H-1B registration confirmation is available. I understand things might be busy on your end, but if possible, I’d appreciate it if you could share the confirmation number or status update when you have a moment.
Thanks so much for your support!
As for your other question — yes, some people have already received confirmation from their employers (though USCIS doesn’t notify individuals directly, only the registrant company). So you’re definitely not alone in asking!
Good luck — hope you get good news soon! 
really appreciate the clarity and sample message—it’s super helpful during such an anxious time. I’ll go ahead and follow up respectfully with my employer. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting on updates!
