Guys. Passing along some good news. After a failed H1b transfer petition in Feb’19 (applies in regular because premium was banned), convinced the new firm to re-apply (continued)

In June’19 and got the approval in 4 days. Needed to move to California, so the new firm applied for an amendment in premium, and got the approval today in 4 days. The difference between the failed and the approved petition - made the role complex, showed specifics in job responsibilities, and got an education evaluation to connect my work experience to the new role. All this while, this bowl has been very helpful and supportive throughout, so thank you all. Final thoughts - I would say don’t lose hope, but at the same time ensure that you, your employer, and the attorneys are putting the best foot forward. At the end of the day, it’s your opportunity to lose so do everything you can and pray for good. Also, be sure to have a plan B in case things don’t work out. Finally, have strong emotional support (family, significant other, pet) to show you what’s important in life and help you keep going. That’s my two cents. Good luck everybody 🙂
