Feeling frustrated and hopeless. My L1A renewal was denied after premium processing and a RFE.I can remain waiting for the AOS filled in August 2021 into Texas Service center. I will have to go to an unpaid leave until EAD is received. Biometrics taken in October and i140 approved in September 2021.
-Any idea how long does it take the EAD since the biometrics?
-the company can keep the unpaid leave only for 3 months, can that impact my AOS application? Are your aware of possible options? TY

Sorry to hear that.. never heard before on L1A rejection though you have I140 approved. Please see if you can get access to the letter. But I guess you can convert to H1B but check with immigration team.

Don’t worry,speak to your firms lawyer to appeal ..one of my colleagues renewal got denied too ,is this via USCIS (postal)?!my colleague won the appeal and his renewal was successful…stay strong ,apparently junior officers adjugate renewal cases hence attorneys push for in person renewals ..unfortunately this was a challenge during covid times..stay strong,am sure your case will go through on appeal..

Another one in your favor is the approved i140,think it might be an error on USCIS part..get this sorted Asap

Sorry to hear about this. Do you know why USCIS denied your L1A renewal? And what RFE you got?

RFE related to the functional managerial role within the US and the previous subsidiary. I do have access to the denial letter yet. But I will share details as soon as it’s received

Is your approved I-140 EB-1(c)?

You will forfeit the AP portion of the I-131 of it but not the EAD

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
