My internal transfer to a different team required a visa amendment and got denied after a RFE. What are my options outside of going back to my previous team? The denial was apparently because of speciality occupation not requiring H1.
Oh! This RFE business is so scary
Program manager to Product manager, different entity - AWS to Retail
Apply again or contest it? Isn't Fragomen taking care of it.
Apparently it takes a year or 2 to contest it but in the meantime I can’t stay in the same team
This is really weird. What's your bachelors and masters in? There has to be a valid reason they denied it - 1. is your job description matching the degree. 2. Are the paying u a good wage. Something must have been off.
Did you have to go through I140 labor certification again before the change? That should be an evidence for H1. And I am not sure what the options are. You should consult your legal team ASAP.
I think it's the problem with the product management role. Could be that it requires some sort of a management degree. USCIS adjudicates every new application independent of previously approved applications. I checked the job descriptions of PM's and almost all of them mention management degree. They could have argued that electrical engineering has nothing to do with product manager, which means that they could probably find an American citizen to this job.
Op which school did you go for MBA? Clearly with that statement “I have a MBA as well”; I highly doubt your degree.
Given the amendment to the new team was denied, wouldnt your current application with the existing team remain intact?
It could be that OP already left the team, hoping that the chances of a denial are extremely low since it's the same company.
Yes I left the previous team. I am trying to understand if there are any options folks have explored outside of going back to the previous role.
Wow this is scary. Sorry this had to happen. Wonder if it means that Fragomen are not doing a good enough job. Did you look at the entire RFE response before they sent it?
I did not. And now it is BAL which seems worse than fragomen
Well the good news is that "previous team" should include any team in the same legal entity and the same city as your old team, provided you do the old job as well. So basically any team in AWS.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
😮 which job category. And are you changing employer entity? Such as from retail to aws? But I thought they have unified the entity.
