Mine is taking 1.5 months for the verbal offer to visa transfer approval

helpful

My husband was recently laid off along with a dozen other engineers - all on H1. On an average, it took 3 to 4 weeks from layoff to get a verbal offer. The written offer took 7 - 10 days from that. Then background check, lca processing and filing of H1 applications took about two weeks.

Mine took 6 weeks as well

Hi Guys, Do you know how long the immigration team in UK takes to generate the Certificate of sponsorship. Its been 2 weeks and every time i mail they saying its in mangement review

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
