My extension RFE got approved last week!

Transfer from industry to D, filed in consular processing while abroad, premium, no RFE, approved in less than a week. This was in June this year.

Within the last few weeks- PP extension of H1b approval in 6 days

Got an RFE in Feb for extension. Filed response in April and got approval in 2 weeks .

When you say in x days, is this since the date your application arrives at USCIS or since the date they issue the receipt notice?

Please keep them coming. I see a ton of nervous people on the group. Only 7 responses so far. I would URGE team members to share this thread.

First time applicant. No RFE. Got approved few weeks ago

Pls include the service center as well along with timeline and the petition purpose. Thanks

H1b extension filed in feb. Approved by june. No rfe except that they couldn't deliver the receipt to the address. Not sure what EY did with that. But all resolved. Filed without additional client lcas. Lcas for home location n client location in progress now

H1B location transfer and update petition filed in May, approved without RFE in June. Was really worried and was expecting an RFE but was really relieved didn’t get one. Was moving from India and would’ve decided not to move if RFE delays kicked in. So this was very important for me and worked out!

Mine was an extension case. Filed in July in PP, got RFE in August, RFE response sent 2 days back, and received approval alert today.

Wish you all the best of luck!

We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
