What’s the problem? Mine done in the same way and get approved.

It happened for me 2 years ago and happening right now. Why would that be an issue?

H1b amendment is for the LCA and they always get denied. Doesn’t that mean, extension gets denied along with it ?

Why would they always get denied

Which service you are in? What is the reason for denial?

They should be filed together or else you will be double paying. Also, when you file it together, it’s not an extension AND and amendment. It’s just an extension with a new location added. Your chances of an RFE or denial does not increase if these are done together, that purely dependents on your case.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
