Just responded to my very long RFE. Nervous!!

I don’t have the actual request as the company don’t share it but it’s basically more evidence that I am eligible for L1A from my exUS position and also that my current position qualifies. So I spent several days combing through emails from 5 years ago and finding documents to support. I think I have about a hundred files and a 10 page letter 😖

They are scrutinizing the applications quite intensively, so make sure you have a bullet proof case if you want to do in-country extension through USCIS. If you can go for consular processing then that's the preferred option.

USCIS has a high denial rate and around 70-80% of the apps get RFE'ed.

Same here.

Blanket visa and consular processing is less problematic?

does having your visa extension via counsular processing has an effect on your future green card application?

Timeline is way longer anyways.

if i choose to aplly via consular processing, can i apply also apply to other countries (other than my home country)

Should I complain to a firm's HR if the interviewers laughed at my answer during an interview? Maybe it sounded scripted but it was still heartfelt and genuine: my immigration story and how that made me appreciate the rule of law. I said it soo many times during OCI's that maybe it eventually sounded robotic, but for the interviewers to laugh and one to say sarcastically "nice elevator pitch", I thought was rude. Thoughts?
