I recall reading a couple of folks on H1B who applied/got the police verification done in July 2017 and have been approved but there hasn't been any news since, even from the H1B folks. I'm on H1B as well so unfortunately am ineligible to use the kiosks at JFK T4 like the B1/B2 and other folks. Hence, the GEP would be a Godsend. JFK is still manageable even with the regular immigration protocol but I've had a couple of absolute nightmares at Newark in the past year.
Any more H1B folks on here who have been approved since applying in July/August?
