Donā€™t make the mistake of giving the notice when you get the receipt notice. There is a good chance that you might get an RFE which would then delay the process. I would recommend that you wait for an approval, no matter how long it takes.

I had got an RFE then a denial and then the company refiled my transfer petition thankfully and I got an approval.

The game has definitely changed in the last year. Donā€™t be over confident that the transfer process will be smooth. Just make sure you cover all your bases.

It has but only for new petitions .. not for transfers or cap-exempt ones I believe

I accepted an offer as well... their immigration team said it takes them 2-3 weeks to file petition after I share all required docs ... then 2 weeks for decision as they are doing it in premium processing. If not premium processing it can take 1-3 months

Donā€™t join unless your transfer is approved. If RFE comes, wait, wait, and wait. Otherwise you will end up deported with no job at hand at all. This orange buffoon should be slapped day and night for these insane bullshit vetting policies. He is just trying to please his base who are ironically college uneducated that can never do these jobs. SMH

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 heā€™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?
