Isn't premium processing open for transfers? I'd say that's definitely worth it even if you have to pay for it out of pocket.

Premium is open. But do remember to factor in the time your firm needs to prepare you filing.

Took 4 weeks on premium processing. Received an RFE so this includes time to formulate a response.

Not past month, but past couple of months. It took around 1 month for my case to get approved with RFE and premium processing. It took another month for the attorneys to receive the H-1B approval notice!

Thank you. If you think 2 months, you’ll be surprised to hear my timeline.

I applied for the job in February, interviewed in March, signed the offer in May, H-1B petition was filed in June, upgraded to premium and got RFE in July, approved in August, and finally got approval notice in September. I’m just a couple of weeks away from starting my new job.

Luckily, I have a unique set of skills that’s hard to find which is why the new company is waiting for me to join them!
