Just got an RFE on H1 transfer. Do you guys know how soon the immigration team can respond on the rfe? I am seeing posts where response took more than a month to file. Has anyone experienced a quick response from attorney? Does the time taken to respond depend on nature of the RFE?

As someone who has prepared many RFEs, do not push your attorney to file any quicker than a month. You want quality over speed.

I think I have seen ~1 month at least to respond to rfe

In my case it has been 7 weeks now. Still not filed. They are doing review after review.

Thanks, I guess will know next week the reason as well. Specialty occupation seems to be the worst of all

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

Would like to share that my H1B transfer (PP) was approved in 2 days upon receipt by USCIS! So pleasantly surprised!

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 he’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?

Hi, did any of you receive H1B receipt notice after filing..please let us know asap.

Hi. After an H1B petition is withdrawn, who receives the notice of revocation? Beneficiary or petitioner? And if the beneficiary has another approved I-797 and the notice of revocation is not received by them, does that cause issues at the border at the time of re-entry?
