Overall legal was cooperative
Btw OP- I was in the same B4 during my GC process

Following. It’s outrageous that even a simple PWD takes 5-6 mos now

What is the timeline like after PWD has been determined? 1 month recruitment and 1 month cool down period from what I remember. What about after that? Any wait then? My country doesn’t have a backlog

Hello friends on H1B.
Had filed an amendment for current client. got RFE in sept and now got denial.
What does that mean? Do I have to leave the country? or can I still work on previous LCA?

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?
