Got RFE for H1B transfer to FB. Super frustrated.
Don't know the reason just yet, but thinking it's specialty occupation (majority reason). Was all ready to go, but of course something like this happens again... Seems like it'll take an additional 2-3 months to figure stuff out. What was your RFE reason and how long did it take to get approved? Just felt like venting.
really？with pp you still need 2-3months for RFE resolution?
What’s your major?
Majored in a design program. This isn't for an engineering role.
I can closely relate bro. My case got RFEed. The fun starts when you try to get reference letters from all your previous employers including current one. And the whole process can take 2 to 3 months
Luckily, I have most EVLs already for the PERM at MS. Hoping for the reason to be as simple as a paystub or something (that's what I read from another post haha) Was your reason specialty occupation as well? How long did it take in total from the rfe notice forward?
SO, I’m still in the process but seems like we are targeting to get it done within 8 weeks
Don’t be frustrated. 60% of the cases gets RFEd.
You're right, I saw that. Like everyone else, I was secretly still hoping my case wouldn't get picked... It's just so time consuming and my new team is waiting for me, I'd hate for them to reconsider another candidate because of the wait. I know they won't rescind the offer or anything, but i really want to keep that specific team, y'know. Thank you for trying to cheer me up.
60% overall right? I think it might be a bit lower for FAANG.
Whats your role and level at FB? My recruiter already asked me to expect 3-4 months of processing time. My expected timeline: Offer received: September 5th Expected joining date: December 12th.
IC5 role for me. They will file PP, so if you're lucky, you won't get an RFE and can possibly join much sooner.
IC5 here as well. Its brutal out there, I can only hope.
I also got RFE with SO but I never worried about it. Finally it was approved. I would say do think too much about it.
Can you not start working on receipt?
I can. But I won’t. It’s too risky.
What role are you in, and what/where did you get your degree?
BA Degree in Europe. It's an IC role.
