Received an RFE for my H1B transfer to a new employer. The legal team says it could take up to a month to prepare the response — HR has already provided all the necessary information. Is that a typical timeline? For those who've gone through a similar process, how long did it take your attorneys to respond to the RFE?

Yep a month is about right. They build a pretty strong case with many pieces:

1) aligning JD to your education
2) aligning company org to your expected level
3) expert opinion letters explaining why your background is crucial
4) more depending upon the reason

I got my RFE in November and they only submitted in late Jan. I got my decision early Feb.

Honestly, you can try speaking to the attorney but all the big law firms that do this (e.g., fragomen) care a lot less about you, the petitionee than they do the company paying them to file the petition.

They are pros at this though. Very unlikely this will get denied since they know how to handle situations like this, it’s their bread and butter. Just don’t expect great communication with you throughout this process.

Hi,

If you don’t mind, was this RFE received for transfer incoming to McK or outgoing from McK?

Sorry, just saw the bowl is for McK exits.

I hope your RFE gets resolved soon
