When does it expire? Ask them to apply for premium processing, if it expires less than 4 months from now.

Filed in Jan, receive RFE in March. Lawyer had no time and didn't tell me until April, and lawyer need 5-7 weeks to prepare RFE response.

I'm a senior and the RFE is on specialty occupation.

What if I filed and didn’t get a result before my expiration? Asking because mine expires in the end of April and the law firm hasn’t even submitted my petition

Because they suck?

It should be 6-10 weeks from the email that u have got from the lawyer? Whats the rfe reason? Is this your first extension?

In the same boat mine expires end of September as well..asked if I can do premium but the lawyers came back saying higher chances of RFE’s and rejection in premium..feels like BS.

Mine got RFE and I asked lawyer if they can file premium processing when they file the RFE response since this case already got RFE. They said "You still get 240 days after your current H-1B expires. If the extension is not approved approaching the 240 days, we can look more into premium processing."

I have had several rounds of interviews for a role at Visa London office. When I reached out to the HR to check on progress/status after what they called the "final round", they said everything is positive and then set up another round with the hiring manager last week. TBH, that round seemed as if they want to make sure I have understood the job well. And there has been radio silence after that. Any idea how to read this? I have another offer and deliberating if i should just accept that.

Got a new job offer letter. But my existing company wants to retain me with pay revision so I submitted my offer letter of new job to them. Eventually I have decided not to stay back and join the new company. So is there any risk in the new company as I have shared the offer letter with old company. I am already in notice period.

The station I work at is down at least 15 positions. Some jobs have been open for two years.

The remaining staff is required to step up.

Additional positions are opening up as contracts are either broken or expire.

How are people able to keep their mental health up when their station isn’t hiring people they need and refuse to pay living wages to potential prospects or promote those remaining?
