Specifically, FedEx is experiencing
substantial disruptions at its Memphis hub and to flight
operations due to heavy rain and thunderstorms last night and
this morning. FedEx is suspending its "money-back" guarantee for
U.S. domestic packages and shipments with a delivery commitment
of April 1, 2008.
This announcement comes on the same day
that FedEx and other courier services are starting to deliver
H-1B cap petitions to the Vermont and California Service Centers
on the very first filing day for FY 2009 cap numbers. Given the
recent change in USCIS regulations that allow for the USCIS to
consider H-1B cap petitions received during the first 5 business
days of April (for this year, this means cases received April
1-4 and April 7, 2008), this service suspension will hopefully
have little if any impact on the filed cases.
All cases submitted by Jackson & Hertogs
are being tracked for delivery and our clients have also been
provided with information so that they can track the package
deliveries. We will keep clients posted as to developments.
